Loads of Roadster owners on here so someone will pop up in a minute.

My 23 year old car doesn't have a trace of it but had only covered 18,000 miles when I got it and now she is up to 37,000 miles used all year round by me for 8 years but never on salted roads.

So I'm thinking yours must be an all weather high miler.

Sorry, I didn't see this picture yesterday, and that part is identical. That outlet with the white cap is attached to a tube that goes to a little reservoir with Lockheed on it. I just assumed Lockheed had something to do with brakes. That red bit on the end must be a plug as another hose is screwed onto this end.
I've been under this morning treating the rust and it isn't as bad as what the photo suggests once a good scrub and painting of rust converter. It did give me a chance to have a look around in detail when under and have discovered a slight leak from the gearbox drain plug. Bit more ptfe tape me thinks.

I also found an electrical lead whilst looking at the gearbox that wasn't attached to anything. Photo to follow.

That will be the clutch slave cylinder feed - the red bung replacement end that is.

A Roadster owner will put you right on the plug/socket.

It's not unusual to find odd spare electrical feeds around a Morgan as I understand it one loom is used to cover all the options, so some will be unused.


Thanks rich. My initial thought was yours with the extra electrical feeds, but I'm pretty sure it's independant of anything else and connects direct into the top of the box. Almost like it's there for diagnostic purposes. I'm just curious.
