I live in South Cumbria and have used Lifes and Macdonalds, now Beamish Morgan, over the past 15 years.
Journey time to both is similar from here though the route to Beamish is more enjoyable.
Have also used the Factory Service Department.
Andrew Hirst, ex jaguar technician and MSCC chairman is looking after a number of local Morgans in his (semi!) retirement. He lives just south of Kendal - contact details in back of Miscellany.
