Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Maintenance & Servicing My continuing GDI saga, and its not good news.

Well hopefully it's getting the necessary identification, rectification and a permanent solution.

I remember when Mercedes first introduced ABS, I had a new convertible that every time it rained heavy it went into limp home mode, this was back in the days when there was no fault code memory, so unless you could replicate the fault with the engine running and a code reader attached , you stood no chance with intermittent faults.

Despite all of Mercedes vast experience, they never fixed it during my short ownership of the car Maybe a decade later, I was discussing the issue with a Mercedes mechanic, and he just had a wry smile, they eventually found out it was a faulty ABS sensor. As the number incidents of it's occurence increased across the range, they eventually found the root cause was a faulty batch of ABS sensors.

You may remember my 2012 Plus 4 sport lost all power. Everything was checked by Lifes fuses, connections all the onvious known areas to investigate and they couldn't find anything to explain why. An autoelectrian tracked it down to a burnt terminal/wire on the undersude of the fuse box, which was not obvious until you took the fuse box off........frustrating but fixable............thats why I always recommned a wiring check for anyone buying a used Morgan.

I can only image your frustration and sometimes sense of helplessness, as some things are beyond your control, but hopefully the fix whatever it is, will increase the knowledge base, if it is a generic fault,.of running a GDI Morgan, all you can do is keep the faith.............

.I don't allow the complexity of the CX to worry me, as I have neither the inclination or skills to work on it and accept the inevitable garage visits, and resulltant costs. hopefully infrequently...but it is a hand built Morgan.......and they can be more maintenance intensive, that other mass produced cars as a result........
