I love the way it's referred to as an 'upgrade' rather than a fault..

Well, one point of view is that since it came from Ford with the engine, as a package, it's without fault....... And now there's an upgrade available which is better than standard.

I love the way it's referred to as an 'upgrade' rather than a fault.. ...well the salesmen love to call it that!  I too am of the strong opinion that it just cures a dangerous fault first line, but upgrades the car´s performance in many (more) ways.  The only way not to spend what they ask you for is to live with the widely known ... erm ... let´s call them "peculiarities" 
It doesn´t matter how fast it becomes, but how it becomes fast.  2015 Roadster 3.7

I had been waiting for this problem to be sorted before ordering a Roadster.
A company offering ECU fixes or mechanical improvements as optional extras, doesn't convince me to take the Morgan route.
Looks like I may be heading off Howards Way.

Howards Way ...am sure that was a Sunday night drama 25+ years ago!! Seriously I have a 3.7 - it must have had the ECU "upgrade" as it runs sooo well. Or am I tempting fate???!!!

ECU upgrade is an option for new Roadsters £2400, or £4020 with the flywheel and timing chain it should of had.

Hello,
I'm thinking about the next modification to my roadster.
Is anyone of the pioneers willing to comment on their long-term experience with the alternative ECU?
Problems with MOT?
Reliability?
Free access to further modify the parameters?
Power on a rolling road maybe?
Regards,
beltempo Mine went straight through mot last Monday, emmisions had improved against the test done for me when I tested the ECU upgrade for the factory Jan to Mar 2015. I have had no issues and would recommend it.
