Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Morgan Three Wheeler & Super 3 What breakdowns have I to expect with my 2014 M3W?

Dear Smaug,

So far as I can see you have to 2013 model with no upgrades.
But ...... don't worry, most of us have this model.
And a 2013 model doesn't mean that you will get more breakdowns than a 2014 model.
Just go riding and enjoy your M3W !

Hi Smaug, yes very sorry, but it is not a 2014, definitely a 2013 chassis without the upgrades.

As I suggested, if you bought it from a dealer, go back and ask why they sold you a 2013 model as a 2014, there is a significant difference with very important upgrades between the two model years. Most of the upgrades can be performed retrospectively, and it may depend on what you paid for the car, for example, if you paid full price, I would suggest the dealer should pay to have the upgrades done, if you received a discount, then you will need to do some talking with him. If you bought it privately, then you will have to have the upgrades done at your own expense I'm afraid.

Don't be too disheartened though, my car is a May 2013 and apart from a bevel box under warranty, it is performing very well.....so far.

Hi all,

thanks for all the answers, at least I know now what version I have...I bought the car at full price as new directly from the Morgan dealer here in Luxembourg. it was the only new 3 Wheeler he has in the showroom and by chance the style I was looking for. I did not know at that point about the problems on the early versions. It is also hard to make the dealer understand to pay for upgrades, when there are no breakdowns yet on the parts fitted. Unless it is a recal programm directly from Morgan itself. Or is it?!?...
On the other hand I like the look and handmade finish from my M3W as well as I love driving it ...and there is still 23 months of garantie left

best regards to you all

If it was a 2014 you would have 29 months left..

Hi Steve,

do they give more than 2 years Europeen garantie on the 2014 models ?

2014 have ex t'entend garantie for 30 months instead of 24.

From the online brochure:

The Morgan 2014 improvement has led to a comprehensive review of the vehicle’s characteristics, resulting in some important updates –
• Chassis - latest development increases torsional stiffness and improves handling
• Centre Drive Unit – increased durability and smoother power delivery
• Bevel box – isolated to improve overall noise vibration harshness (NVH)
• Steering – engineered to satisfy a broader range of markets internationally, eliminating bump
• Steer and increasing high speed stability
• Urban Cooling Pack – provides cool air to the engine in urban driving conditions
• Styling – comprehensive new graphics list, colour combinations and vented body work
• ‘30/30’ Warranty – extended 30 months or 30,000 miles, terms and conditions apply

All these points is the reason why I felt it was time to change my early 2012 to the "improved" model.

A Sports Yellow will arrive in Sweden in January 2015

Wow !!! ....these specs are indeed frustrating having bought (not knowing) a 2013 model a month ago :o(((

Cheers,
Smaug

You can upgrade 'most' of it to current spec, at a cost of course.
