Hi guys, been to look at the aero this morning, all ok but just one thing,
Oil pressure gauge is low at idle when warm, about the needles width above the orange warning on the left hand side.
As you know I have flown over to look at this car, need advice now as need to make a decision very soon.
Thanks in advance,
Ian.

Do a quick search for Morgan dealers and phone one (or two). Tell them why - most are very friendly and will give advice...

Hi guys,
Well it kinda turns out it's normal so I have agreed to buy the car tomorrow morning.
It's a really nice car and I am delighted to own it, I think I did ok on the deal.
Thanks guys, I will try and upload a few pictures from my iPad on the journey home.
All the best,
Ian.

if the car is hot and its showing above the danger zone on tick over i dont think you need worry.
1 Guages are not accurate enough, you would have to put an oil pressure guage direct to the engine to obtain a true reading.
2 if morgan had serviced it 160miles ago i am sure if something was wrong it would of been spotted.
when the engine is hot hold the revs about 1200-1400 rpm if the Guage lifts and remains steady that would give a good indication that things are OK, i would recommend at least a 20mls test drive and then sit it at idle.
sorry if this is to late, had a busy day

Dean & Tony, No worries on the pictures, I won't forget, The oil pressure is really good when driving and at those revs it's over the half way mark. Looking forward to tomorrow, can't wait. Someone I do business with told me it's a tail magnet, - I said - what, he said girls, I exclaimed - OH.
