Nope! From Coach Will’s latest post, the car broke down again only two and a half hours’ driving after the new fuel pump had been fitted. He seems to think it may be something to do with the new fuel pump. After the experience we had with fuel pumps on the Albert Ball Memorial run (one failure just before the trip - on my car - and two failures on the trip), I did email Coach Will before he started his trip to warn him that he might like to take a spare fuel pump with him. Maybe the advice should have been to take two!

Maybe the advice should have been to take two! Just read his blog and it certainly appears he is concerned but positive. Still a long way to go He is sponsored by Morgan so there should be a good supply of parts and service.

Fortunately, I have Bill Fink working on it. he is replacing the fuel pump and filter (overnighted from New England Morgan). He has been talking with others about this, including England, and he suspects it could be the fuel lines being too close to the the hot cylinders. He is heat wrapping them and moving them away from the engine. It makes sense as apparently the gas is going to and from the engine, looping to the fuel pump. If the gas gets too hot, it can slow or stop the impeller. This might be the issue that has plagued many folks. We'll see. I do know i have the best guy working on it. Will www.m3wroadtrip.com
