Calling ProfessorM. I talked to Malvern on Friday 13th and told them of my steering woes on the Super 3 and told them that if they looked on Talk Morgan they would find others out there who are having problems. The chap promised I would hear back from him which I did when he said they had received 2 or 3 other complaints. I haven’t heard any more from him. How did you get to have your car returned to Malvern?
Hi Graeme
My car was returned to the factory Wed/Thurs so might have been worked on yesterday or maybe won't be looked at until Monday/Tuesday of next week. I have not had an update/diagnosis from the factory yet. With BarkBark reporting that his came back feeling much better (and cured of the belt squeal too) I have hopes that mine too will return transformed. If it does not, I am not sure what to do next as the car is bordering on dangerous about 55mph - a view shared by the dealer who test drove it and the mechanic who also took it out (the mechanic was deliberately not told about the steering/handling so he gave an unbiased opinion) He returned saying the car was almost uncontrollable at higher speeds.
The more I think about it, the more angry I am getting with Morgan for allowing a car to leave the factory in an unsafe state... I don't blame the dealer as they (given the weather when my car was delivered to them) could not test the car at higher speeds and trusted that the basic geometry was set correctly by the factory.
A good learning point for all other Super 3 owners collecting their cars - get the car up to 50 to 70 mph in your first drive. If it feels like it's going to swap ends and needs both hands tightly gripping the wheel just to keep it from randomly lurching left/right in a straight line then you too are a victim of the factory releasing unsafe products.
