Hi
Our 2019 Launch Edition Plus Six has had a replacement master cylinder and a brake booster unit. And YES our master cylinder seals had failed. However while the Plus Six is a vast improvement on earlier Morgans the brakes were scary from Day One.
After the work done under warranty, the brakes, and in particular the brake pedal travel (60mm on average) was the same as before all the work. Presently the car is in the NZ Morgan dealer's workshop where it will stay until we get to the bottom of this brake problem. There will be a solution!
If MMC have managed to improve the brakes on the Y23 CX cars they surely will know what they have changed. Maybe it may not be possible, or desirable, for MMC to rectify the brake problem on earlier cars but that knowledge should be made available to all owners. I suspect that the problem could well be a mechanical and involve changing the brake pedal lever arm, hinge points etc.
The brake problem is in the same basket as the sagging suspension where the quality of the springs was the source of the problem. YES we have replaced our coil over damper units with those specified by SSL. Not only do we have the original ground clearance but we have greatly improved handling. BUT have MMC acknowledged that there was a problem? NO! Will MMC accept that the Plus Six brakes were faulty beyond the master cylinder problem? Not on your Nelly!!
