I've just heard from the dealer & Morgan will check my clutch condition for no charge whilst rebuilding. I have ordered the centa compensator for £695.52 + Vat no labour charge but price has increased from £538 since Nov 2016. Being cynical are they recouping a bit of the labour in the price increase? Still no timescale.

Well its progress Tim - hang in there! I'd rather be hanging out on a great driving road in this good weather. My car getting disabled always seems to coincide with good driving weather. I suppose getting a labour free replacement compensator is some compensation but then it should not need replacing

Thanks Neil Let’s hope this is resolved with out the involvement of the authorities. Not sure I would like to be a small UK car manufacturer forced to cross swords with European or American consumer (and maybe automotive) regulators in a post Brexit environment. Seems like a sure-fire recipe for a very bloody nose! An excellent post OZ.
Manufacturers have got to provide a product which is fit for purpose.

I spoke to the dealer yesterday & they still have no news from Morgan on replacing chassis. They will see Mark Evans on sunday at Silverstone & try to get an update. Its 4 weeks since it departed on back of a recovery truck.

Am sorry to read this Tim.
It's a long time to wait for a response. Let alone a fix.
Not sure Silverstone would offer the right moment to get a response from Mark either.
But hopefully you will.

Morgan thinks if they wait long enough we'll all die---and no more problem. The "squeaky" door doesn't even seem to work here I'm still waiting for a definitive answer to my cracks and its been months.
