When I met up with Aeroman, he was on the last leg of his European jaunt. I am not sure how many miles he did but it was probably at least 3,000. As far as I am aware, he did not have any problems.
As Simon says, we have just done circa 5,000 km's round France and had no problems whatsoever; apart from damage to the drivers mirror perpetrated by a flying stone thrown up by a truck.
This brings the total mileage (km-eage!) on our 'Max to 32,000 km's and the car has been totally reliable in our stewardship. I'm really sorry to hear of your issues Edi, particularily as my S3 was also electronically totally reliable, once I had sorted out the usual minor 'bedding-in' problems that most new Mog's seem to have in my experience.
In my opinion, the Aero 8/Aeromax is very reliable; however, you do need to get past the initial 'shake-down' issues which may be present in a new-build Morgan. Once they are resolved, they seem to be relatively bullet proof (certainly no worse than many modern mainstream cars).
There are some people on the site who have done a lot of miles in their Aeros (Aeroman, Boshly and Shooter spring to mind). If I am not mistaken, Shooter drove his daily for 12+ months (and in all the weather the UK could throw at it).
In our first three Aero's we did some 45,000 miles and we have not (touch wood!) had the sort of electrical glitches that some members seem to have experienced. Our AeroMax, being a works prototype had some 12,000 miles on the clock when we bought it, but we have put some 8,000 miles on it in 10-months and it has been totally reliable during that time.
As with many handmade items, there can be human error in the initial build; however, as said above, the break-in service is used to resolve a lot of these (if not all).
Our Series I had many minor problems which were rectified by the works under warranty, including a completely new hood, amongst other issues. We had some minor problems with the engine management becoming 'confused' when the engine became very hot, but once we found out how to re-boot the chip (thank you the Morgan Dealer in Chicago
) that issue was solved. The next two Aero's proved much better finished in general and to reiterate we did not have electronic problems with either.
I am really sorry to hear of your issues Edi and all I can say is that I hope that they are promptly resolved, but please whatever happens do presevere with getting them sorted, as I know that the ultimate driving and ownership experience will prove worthwhile and the pain will very shortly be forgotten.
Good luck and as Simon says, if any of us can help in any way please do not hesitate to contact us (SGT are just up the road from our UK house).
