It seems Morgan understood there was an issue and were starting to add PCB protection, if not a fix
I'm pleased to report the later 4/4 PCB I bought from ebay has litrally brought everything back
Rear fog light, ignition warning light, handbrake warning light, the heater fan, and even the heated screen are back. The newer 4/4 PCBs are clearly better, well they're fuse protected at least, so if it happens again I'm only in for a £0.10p fuse rather than a discontinued PCB, or trying to solder burnt tracks.
I'm not sure when the fuse protection was added, but I can confirm the crashed 4/4 my replacement PCB came from was a 2018 model, so it's also 5 - 6 years younger than Monty's original blown board that lasted 10 years before failing, so hopefully that alone means I've bought myself some more years of trouble free electrics.
In addition to the later far younger board that's also now properly fuse protected, I decided to fit an LED bulb in the rear fog light, I bought it from Classic Car LEDs as in my experience they only sell good quality LEDs. This should pull a lot less current through the circuit compared with original incandescent bulb, the idea being it will take considerable load off the board.
Actually I bought two, one for the rear fog and one for the high level brake light as that bulb had blown, these LED bulbs from Classic Car LEDs are the red output type which work way better than white LEDs under a red lense, they're very bright so I can definitely recommend them
It was a £200 spend I wasn't planning for , but hopefully the younger/newer version fuse protected PCB will last? It certainly fixed absolutely everything that had gone down on Monty and came with a nice bonus too. Unexpectedly, the breaker actually sent me the whole dash with the three gauges, and even a clock. Obviously, I only needed the PCB but I now have a spare dial set too, so I now feel it was very good value and definitely money well spent!
