Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Morgan Three Wheeler & Super 3 Stator failure after 6 months, 2,200miles

I don't think that GregA10 is saying that the Centa rollers are damaged, they may well prove to be perfect for another 30,000 miles, some have done this mileage. He is just asking for them to be replaced as the opportunity presents itself.

The "man in a shed" (Phil Bleazey?) has not improved the life or durability of the Centa drive (although his own inserts have a yet to be determined life expectancy) but has made the replacement and servicing of it a much simpler and quicker task. An excellent modification that could easily have been incorporated in production but wasn't.

I must agree that it is a shame that the "customer development team" has had to work hard to sort out many basic problems with the M3W over the years of production and that the last ones produced still have many of the same faults that the first ones had, as MMC have mostly ignored what is happening with their product in use. I don't suppose they dare look at any customer feed back or reliability data? The last new owners will still have to fork out more money to sort out their nice new shiny cars to make them reliable, much as they did 9 years ago.

Without the exchange of information on this forum I think the M3W would not have been possible to run by many owners, certainly myself. If I had been dependent on Morgan or their dealers it would have been sold long ago.
