How could something so easy to fix, be made so difficult by the manufacturer? Am I missing something here?

I have a sneaky feeling that MMC have sold us a slow conversion from a M3W to a 4/4. New this, new the other and well sir will need the 4th wheel too.

Hi Nigel, initially I fitted the Spax adjustable dampers and lowered the ride height by 35mm back and front. This sorted the bump steer out as the car was originally designed to tun at this ride height. There has been no fouling of exhausts or road humps, even with two decent sized occupants.
With that sorted I then fitted the Empire upper wishbone set up just to put the cherry on the cake. I think that this might be my best option, especially if new mudguards are required. I currently have the original Suplex shocks which may run slightly lower than the original Spax so wont have to go down so far. NZ regulations require 100mm clearance, so with your lowered car do you know what the actual clearances are ?? The wife and i wouldnt push much past the the 120kg mark combined ie both quite slight. Sometimes feel that a bit more ballast would improve the ride !!

I've changed the Spax back to Suplex, which do run around 1" [25mm] lower, I'll measure the ride height when I get back this evening and let you know Nigel.

WOW...my arse. Less than a week back from the factory the clutch ( 5,000 miles only) has given up. Had to drive to my local dealers using the no clutch mode.
Pee'd off to a tee at the moment with effing Morgan. What else can go wrong with this high dollar POS????
Had 2 freinds coming down to tke it out for a spin now cancelled, was going out on Saturday to Oakmere Morgan now cancelled.
I have lost all faith in this vehicle and company.
Now i have to listen to my mate, " Should've bought a Porsche."

Not good
What's up: slipping, dragging or hydraulics?

Clutch plates by the sounds of it, whatever it sounds like I am so fed up I have had enough. Never in my life have I given up on anything but this has really tested me to the tits.

Oh no, what a bummer Karl! Hope it gets sorted sooner rather than later for you.
