Did I recall that the cost for the improved Centa unit was £700 fitted? I believe that this is close to cost price, however, I agree with you that the original component is not fit for the purpose, so why should we accept a substandard piece when a better one is available?

I know many people have gone down the route of paying for the latest one, possibly in exasperation at not having a working car, and whilst I would not want to take advantage of Morgan, equally, I would not want them to take advantage of me, or any other customers' goodwill.

I think the point resolves around current consumer law in the UK, something which I know very little about, but are there any 'experts' here who can clarify the situation?

Ah, yes, my brain has indeed boiled. I saw a euro sign when it was a pound sign!

My car was recovered to factory and I collected it, good excuse to get a factory tour.

I believe the Centa is a longer term solution and is maintenance free, allegedly.

You are right Raphy,

keep lubricating yours and it maybe will work for a long time too. I hope a lot of compensators have longevity. You lavish attention on those three MOGS of yours.

Now get out on the golf course.

Just so I understand this correctly.........

If the housing for the comp has the large hole underneath then it should have a comp with the grease nipple?

Or do all of the housings have the access hole and only some comps have the zerk fitting?

This is what I was also curious of. And to make a grease nipple, just drill a hole and make thread in it ?
