BUT when it comes to stopping then that is another story! The car is presently at the Morgan agents to be worked on until we have better brakes. In their defense I must say that they have loaned us a near new Mazda CX-5 SUV - all the bells and whistles including "self-steering"!

I would most certainly like to hear from other Plus Six owners as to their brakes and even better those who have made real improvements. The number One thing I'm trying to improve is a reduction in brake pedal travel from the 60mm I presently have. Ever other car I have have excellent brakes - the Jaguar E-Pace brakes are almost too severe.


Our 2020 Plus Six came with a fairly wooden feel to the brakes from new.. After the general recall M/Cylinder replacement the brakes "feel" seemed slightly better, but not by a huge margin. The pedal travel still seemed long though. The car then had to go back shortly after the M/Cylinder replacement for another issue and I mentioned the brakes again to the dealer, who undertook further work on them.. I do not know what was done, but the brakes now feel better again, plus there is slightly reduced pedal travel. I suspect the brakes were re-bled, from my own experience with ABS on motorcycles it can be tricky to completely purge the system of all air, even with a purpose designed bleeding system. I had a BMW K1200RS which took me two days to get the air completely out of the ABS pump.
