I am starting a little project and need to know the colour of the wire that feeds the pulse reading through to the speedometer. Does anyone know what this is for the GDI and, as a fellow Duratech owner is looking at doing something similar, is the Duratech Plus 4 the same?
Any help gratefully received

The Duratec (2012) is this............... I would expect the GDI to be the same because I doubt the loom has changed in this area. The loom colours are yellow; yellow/black trace; and green. The sensor colours are brown; black; blue. The matches are: brown to green - 12v +ve fused switched supply black to yellow - 12v -ve supply blue to yellow/black - signal to instrument - white/black on speedo See this note: http://www.talkmorgan.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/234513/Hub_Stub_Axle_mounted_speed_se#Post234513

Any help gratefully received Sounds like someone is fitting cruise control?

Not cruise control, even for me that would be a step too far on a trad Morgan.
Before ordering my car I test drove a Roadster fitted with the factory electric assisted steering and really liked it so ordered it for my Plus 4. Unfortunately mine is over light and doesn't completely cancel at speed. Morgan claim its non adjustable and the helpful comment from a factory technician on one of the cars trips back to have warranty work done was 'Morgan's shouldn't have power steering' so no help coming from them.
Unlikely as it may seem Morgan are wrong and the electric control unit is, or can be, adjustable. I will be fitting a revised control unit with a potentiometer so that not only will the steering work as it should but I can adjust the weighting, should I want to, via a simple dial under the dash.

Surely it must be controlled via an Ecu ? My car has it and it's perfect, light at low speed and cancelling at anything above about 20 mph.

Apparently it's not controlled by the ecu but a separate and dedicated controller, a power steering ecu if you like. It sounds like you have the same controller/set up I test drove and it was brilliant. Unfortunately mine isn't.
