What warranty work - they seem to work on the basis of ignore a problem for long enough and it will go away or someone else will sort it out.

I totally agree Paul, 200 per year would have been a more manageable figure especially if they could have sorted it out properly at the same time. I for one would not have been too put out if I would have had to wait another 6 months or so.

No, I once waited for 4 years for a car to be developed, and it was all the better for it when I took delivery, though, it has to be said it wasn't a commercial success. Can anyone guess what it was?

Keep in touch P964, we will all be interested to see how this turns out.

In NZ we dont have a dealer as such, more of an Agent. This means that there are no spares held in the country and quite frankly, they would need several complete cars worth to keep pace with the failures.

My car will be off the road for for up to 10 months whilst the motor gets to be rebuilt by Morgan, fit new compensator and provide new bevel box.
6 months would be in waiting for any response and assistance from Morgan to agent.
When this far away from the factory, customer service is non existant.
My warranty has now expired whilst this is happening. So we will be more alone after this is sorted.
So far a truly forgetable experience
List of issues too depressing to enter here, ditto the months required to get any response out of morgan
