Its not what should happen with a new car but it shouldnt surprise you given the comments you all make about Morgan build quality.
Its not a safety critical issue and it doesnt impact on the cars driveability. Something the driver can get round easily whilst Morgan work out a solution, rather than mount the high horse as some seem to want to do.
Shouldn't surprise you? Agree entirely....previous debacles provide evidence....and this is where the enthusiasm to drive the cars overcomes the rationale that ought to be applied (and would be to other marques).
High horse? Doesn't impact on the car's driveability? I have to disagree. If the vehicle would fail an MOT then it is not considered roadworthy.....so whether it cost 1k or 100k it doesn't matter....customers have a right to expect to receive a roadworthy car from a manufacturer/dealer that complies with current legislation....and for 60k of hard earned cash I think it is the least I should expect.
And has been mentioned in an earlier separate post: if you knowingly drive a vehicle that you believe to be faulty on the road it will invalidate your insurance. Clearly, you can use your driving skills to try and minimise the impact that the fault has, but the fault is still there; so the risk is yours to take, as indeed are the consequences.
I think the new owners are caught between a rock and an hard place: wanting to use their shiny new toys but with faults (and implications) versus waiting (impatiently) for a resolution from MMC (who, from what has been said on here, appear to have known about the issue for some time - and if true, just rubs salt into the wound).
