Many thanks Rog thumbs

Actually, now that I think about it I did try the heated screen briefly this morning as it was misting up, either I didn't have it on long enough or that circuit was dead as my attempts to demist were completely ineffective frown

Can anyone tell me about the Morgan dealer in Italy by the name of Luigi Borghi Automobili, as I understand it he offers dash upgrades that may include a fix for the PCB problem?

I Googled the 'Luigi Borghi Automobiliand Morgan' and found this page:

And this image on their website:

I note the above looks very much like Rog's modified dash below.

I also read this with interest....

Nearly everyone seems to report that it has something to do with the heater/aircon fan switch. I thought it was a problem unique to my car when it happened and I also thought it had something to do with the very poorly installed relays for the aircon. I now know that I was wrong on both assumptions. Fortunately for me Borghi had some spare boards because they nearly always remove them when they install a custom dash.

After burning the board out 3 times I decided to install a custom dash and in the process Borghi replaced the unreliable circuit board with a completely hard wired system and relays (all neatly and correctly mounted in a long row behind the dash).

Since then no problems joy

That last bit I've highlighted in bold sounds an awful lot like what Rog created, so I'm wondering... is there a common theme here?

I freely admit I remain quite new to Morgan ownership, I love Monty but this instrument panel PCB issue is a real concern to me as it has the potential to spoil my ownership experience, So, while I'm happy to take responsibility for my own research and have discovered much is doing just that, I'm reaching out to the collective Talk Morgan brain for any more knowledge/intelligence that may have been gathered over the years regarding this seemingly common issue?

Thanks in advance, Dave.
