While driving home last night my car started to run roughly and very quickly cut out . Luckily iI was able to coast into a side road . I couldn't see anything obviously wrong so called out Morgan Rescue . After a 2 hour wait (!) made even more annoying by the driver telling me he had recieved the call out 10 minutes before he got to me .....
Anyway , car was dropped off at Krazy Horse . This morning George rang to say they had discovered a broken valve spring , Not sure yet if this has resulted in any further damage .
5 days of my warranty left !

If you are a pot half full man then that's lucky it went with five days to go on the warranty.
If you're a pot half empty man then you'd be asking why did it break so soon,
Sh*t happens I guess.

Had the same in july. I need to source one to keep as a spare. Morgan didnt have any for spares when I asked yesterday. I blame it on alex salmond.

Hmm , it's not the first one Krazy Horse have seen , I wonder if later engines have different springs ? It's odd (or perhaps not  ) that if there have been several failures that Morgan don't keep the spares in stock ......

Do we know from S&S themselves about any up-graded springs being made available?

I imagine Crazy Horse will do this, but a valvespring breakage would have me checking the installed length and making sure there was no coil binding taking place.

I'm away this weekend but Krazy Horse phoned today to say my car is fixed . Apparently Morgan sent a complete set of new springs so they have all been replaced , I'd like to think they are an upgraded version .
My warranty will have run out by the time I get the car back !
