Problems with Morgans is not a new one. From my relative recent involvement as an owner there have been several. Recently the M3W has needed major issues to be sorted. Chassis, bevel box, exhaust, bump steer, rear sprocket being frequent ones. CX radiator failures, brake squeal, seats.... Why? Is it underdevelopment? Is it lack of expertise? Is it cost cutting? Is it parts supplier quality? Is it rushing a launch? There is an oft quoted phrase....Morgan builds the car and owners finish it off. If the problem with the CX master cylinder is down to substandard quality then that is down to supplier quality AND possibly inadequate monitoring of parts by MMC in the early production. It is quite common for initial high inspection/testing of a new supplier until agreed confidence is gained and monitoring then reduced. If subsequent problems resurface then monitoring increases again. What is the Morgan process? Order parts and assume they are ok? Random testing? What is in the supplier’s contract to specify a quality level and expectations with clauses for failing to meet them? If substandard master cylinders is the cause then will the supplier be footing the bill for rectification?
