If you do get the new shirts printed G, don't forget to offset the "Anal" to the left and leave room for "Retentive" to the right. That way you won't need to do a re run if you get a further "upgrade" by your dealer after any future discussions about a quality issue That's a classic.  You lot will get me into trouble. But I will follow your instructions to the letter. We should ask the Rest of the World Morgan Dealer for 2011 to autograph it.... What do you think the response would be? Agreed, a very smart job... dare I say "fastidious"  Like Aldermog, I think you could market these they look so professional. Fastidious indeed MonteZooma - I have now been advised by the Rest of the World Morgan dealer for 2011 that my status is to be up graded to Anal...  (bugger, now I have to go and get a whole new set of T Shirts printed) If you do get the new shirts printed G, don't forget to offset the "Anal" to the left and leave room for "Retentive" to the right.

I think it's the EGR tube - exhaust gas recirculation - seeing all that pipework and numerous sensors with titles such as 'Delta Pressure Feedback EGR' it's no surprise really that the Roadster is plagued with MIL issues, mine was never properly sorted and was a factor in me getting rid after 12 months. A shame really because I had very few other issues with the car, but evey few weeks the MIL would illuminate and require resetting, it did go back to MMC but was winking again within a week.
I had the MIL light on once, down to a "slow" lambda sensor. Williams changed it and fitted an after market one, not a Morgan part. It was implied that the Morgen specified part isn't really up to the job and if another one goes i'd be advised to replace all three. Talking to a local specialist it seems that the roadster has a high flow cat and sock Ford sensors, when fast acting "racing" ones are needed. Not sure if that makes sense, but it might.

What do you think the response would be?Not entirely sure in the antipodes, but I suspect something related to going forth and multiplying may be on the cards

What do you think the response would be? Since you are so fastidious they may has the pen size and colour to be used to get it right first time?

Quite seriously if someone wants high performance and a lighter and rather more simple setup than the Roadster they should talk to Williams about the Duratec 2.5 4 cylinder that Omex built for them. I saw the engine at Omex as it was nearing completion. An impressive piece of work. Photos at 2.5L Duratec VVC 290bhp/240lbft engine build for Williams Morgan I don't know but can imagine that they could also build an engine in a slightly lower state of tune if required. Sorry about the thread drift  Fascinating link.

The car and engine was bought for delivery to Australia - should try and track it down.

The one I saw at Williams was going a bit further south...New Zealand along with another Plus 4 fitted with throttle bodies and some suspension mods. Very tasty cars!

They have a nice looking Connaught Green Roadster currently in stock. 2006 and less than 5k miles.
Tasty, but Stanley can rest easy in the garage, as no plans to change.
