I believe Luigi is still in the business and I don't know if he sold to, or merged with, Romeo Ferraris. In any case I imagine that he is still doing these conversions, which can be done without replacing the dash. Part of the problem was that the heater fan is actually wired in reverse to the normal logic. That is to say it is constantly powered and the control is on the earth side, unlike the rest of the system.
After several years and many thousands of kilometers I have had no further problems.
Unfortunately you would have to take a trip to Milan to get the job done. laugh When someone else had a dash replaced he did offer a loan car for use while the job was done, drive
It is a good excuse for a holiday in Northern Italy (read Lake Como, good wine and food etc.)

Thanks Gambalunga,

That sounds lovely but I was hoping for a more local solution, I will keep Luigi in mind though.

I'm currently talking with a few electronics engineers including the people who built my Plug & Play EMU Black ECU which has been absolutely fantastic, they have a team of in-house engineers. This afternoon I discussed this common PCB fault with one of them, he started to explore the possible causes with me over tge phone and was interested to learn more about the external 'off the board' relay solution.

So on his request I've sent them some images of my PCB with its burnt track, and a link to Roger's excellent post. TBH getting the burnt track repaired is straightforward enough, I have a local PC engineer who can do that but I fear its not the right approach. We need to fully understand why the track burnt out in the first place and implement a fix so it doesn't happen again.

I also need someone who will give the whole board a complete health check and is willing to modify it too, so far my ECU people seem the most willing and motivated to help, I'll keep this post updated with how all this plays out as I'd also like to think a solution can be found that would help others like me, Morgan owners suffering the same issue who are happy to remove their PCB but do not have the skills or knowledge to fix it themselves.
