Service Completed - Car Cleaned
I've now compelted (*) the full service ( see here for the original post with the list.). I changed the a little as I went on and the completed (typed) list is here. I have the hand written one in my file, but its marked with oil etc.! I am pleased with the end result, everything feels tighter (it should I tightened everything!) and sorted the timing, gave the car a tune up etc. Today the run to the winery for lunch was cancelled and as it was threatening rain I washed the car (first time properly in nearly three years!). Off for a run this evening around Kings Park. [* - new K&N air filter and housing awaiting delivery)

One of the joys of ownership. Always something to do.

It's an essential aid to keeping occupied in (partial) retirement. Far too many old people vegetate in front of the television doing nothing, then wonder why they lose fitness. When I'm not in the garage we are out walking. A steady 8 miles today before lunch!.......................

What a tidy garage you have!
I can only aspire to reach such a level. Tell me that it is only since retirement you have it organised like this... Otherwise there is no hope for me.
Kind regards,

A lovely well cared for car Richard and still on the one shot oiler system it seems. With regards to the air cleaner would yours have had at one time the polished aluminium type with the Morgan name cast into it? My 69 had a very cheap and tinny air cleaner when I bought it. It took me some time to track down one of the cast Morgan ones which look nice IMO.

It took me some time to track down one of the cast Morgan ones which look nice IMO. The piping is in for the one-shot but only delivers oil pressure to the gauge. I am trying to keep the car as original as possible with sensible (invisible?) upgrades, such as an electronic ignition module. Planning to change the seal beam units next I think. I would like an original air filter but K&N seems to be the closest I can find. What I have not is a common part down-under so I suspect it was added here. It works fine, but the pattern part maker for the air filter has changed the outer fixing from metal to plastic and increased the diameter ever so slightly so it does not fit the housing....just the excuse I was looking for to change it!
