Thank you Sewin!

Duly noted on cleaning the suspension area and the risk of contamination of the brake disk, it did look a bit dodgy there with big gobs of grease all over the place. I will give it a good cleaning! I can see your point that if a remote greasing system is used it's still important to have a good look-and-clean down in the messy bits...

As for the expelled grease -- the garage I bought it from greased it upon delivery (about four weeks and 2000 km ago, so a re-greasing was really due). I put in about 4 good pumps of my long-handle grease gun on each nipple, and noticed that the expelled grease was kind of striped, with one side of the ribbon of expelled grease being fresh and clean looking, and the other side being black. You can kind of make that out in the second picture above. What is the protocol here -- should you continue pushing in fresh grease until no old and dirty grease emerges?

I have a copy of DaveW's truly excellent book, which I acquired about half a year ago when I first thought of buying a Morgan (and before I knew about this amazing forum), and which has been my constant companion throughout the process of finding my car. I have written to him separately to thank him for writing that and express how useful it is for a newcomer to Morgans and to someone who isn't mechanical but wants to "dig in". One thing I noticed in his section on greasing is that there aren't any pictures illustrating just that particular procedure. I reckon that for the mechanically experienced that isn't at all an issue, but for someone starting from zero with auto mechanics a picture such as the one so thoughtfully provided by Richard above is truly worth 1000 words.

And about that tour to the south of France in a white suit, although that is unlikely to happen I promise to share a picture should it ever come to be!

Thank you again for the help and guidance, and best regards from Sweden.

Adam.
