I have been waiting a month and a half for a steering comfort kit, Centa Compensator and late type black rear hub for my M3W to be delivered to my local French dealer. I had a friend at Malvern 2 weeks ago picking up a new Plus 8 for shipment to France and he offered to collect my missing parts and put them in the truck with the Plus 8 and I could pick them up in France only about an hour away. Morgan said they had all already been sent. Well if they have, they are lost in the post and no invoice or dispatch notice has been received by the French dealer. I want all these bits so I can take the car to the dealer, some distance away to have the chassis check and modification done, but the car has to be measured first, as two different chassis jigs were used to fling the chassis together. I can see it waiting at the dealer for weeks if not months, for the correct chassis modification parts to be delivered

I used to think Morgan was unique in their incompetence but Porsche have let me down recently as well. The 1-2 and 3-4 synchro hubs needed rebuilding in the 915 gearbox on my 3.3L RSR (it is running at 50% over original design power limit, so this is a regular requirement). No RSR parts (rings, brake bands and blocks) were available but Porsche said the standard ones would be fine, so that is what my local Porsche dealer fitted. The 1-2 synchro hub lasted 25 non-competition miles before it started to jump out of second gear. The car has been back in the Porsche dealer for close to 6 months now waiting for the proper parts. At least it is not costing me anything as I had told the dealer that the standard hub parts would not work. The silly thing is I can get the correct equivalent parts from Rennsport but as they are non-standard, Porsche will not approve their fitment or give any warranty on the work.
