I've had 2 Morgans, no reliability issues.

1. Wrong O/S front calliper fitted so different sized pads on N/S and O/S. Very promptly sorted by MMC, clear and understandable explanation provided. I know it cannot happen again.

2. Dash switch module failed, all warning lights in the push switches stopped working. Sorted by MMC. I suspect this was down to the dash getting wet through use in the rain, hood down.

3. Cap on vacuum pump spare port failed. Fluke failure, sorted by Williams, not under warranty. Expensive, as wings off to replace £0.10 part....!!

4. Yellow Engine light on issue, still under investigation by MMC and Williams. Solution expected Q2, 2018.

Those rose-tinted specs. smile

Indeed.. but no worse than the Germans, I contend.

1. The O/S calliper issue, I later discovered, was down to a minor accident caused by a Journalist. The factory were out of the correct Callipers so fitted one from a S2 Aero.... and forgot to re-fit the correct one!

2. Dash lights..forgot about that. It seems these should be considered wear items!

3. Cap on Vac pipe: hasn't happened again.

4. Yellow engine light .. sorted. A new engine map and advice NOT to use supermarket fuel. Makes no sense, but each time I fill up with supermarket fuel the light comes on. If I stick to Branded fuel all is well.
