Hi I am new to the forum having just purchased a 1997 4/4. This is my first Morgan and a step up from restoration of classic motorcycles.
I am waiting for a manual to arrive but in the meantime I have a few very basic questions.
having looked round the forum it appears that a key area for keeping an eye on is the front suspension/steering.
Q1 - is it OK to jack up the front of the car using a trolley jack on the circular cross member and then support on axle stands. Is this cross member strong enough.
Q2 - it appears that there are numerous opinions on the one shot oiling system. Whats the best way to manually oil the steering using an oil can??
Q3 - is the best grease to use on the steering mechanism a Moly based grease.
Q4. - The metal joint connectors that hold the two curved bars together linking to the front bumper have cracked. Where can I get replacements from ? will I have to go to a dealer for supplies such as this.
Q5 - As the car is new to me I am going to have it dealer serviced - any ideas on how much this should cost??.
Q6 - are the small triangular side screens a good improvement.
Thanks in advance for any feedback
Regards
