I am the lucky owner of a M3W that has been back 2 months to the factory for new bevelbox & compensator but sadly after 2000 miles it seems i'm in for some waiting time again.
Failed timing of engine without timing belt issue.. Engine cannot start anymore and dealer has inspected everything but it is down to some broken mechanical part that takes care of timing independent of belt. Either replacement engine or repair? Anyone can shed a light on this?
Bummer
Very sorry to hear this, Nadvys. It's easy to understand your frustration.
How old is your car, how many miles have you covered & what was the symptom in the first instance?
Morgan will clearly cover your car if it's within warranty, and may be sympathetic in different circumstances. There have been some cases around the globe with X-Wedge engine timing belt issues, although you may simply have a rogue belt if it's given up the ghost.
Belt failure is usually due to misalignment or age, allied to an excess of either heat or cold extremes. Of course, if it's slipped a tooth or so around the wheels it's likely to be the result of misalignment or breakage of the tensioning wheel, but that diagnosis can only be done individually.
Whether it's an engine change or repair will be down to age/mileage etc but I'd guess that the workshop times for both would probably fall towards replacement.
Keep us in touch & pop a piccy or to if you can..?
