Alan, You have tried reseting the "crash Switch" for many of a better word?
On my 4/4 if the switch trips the engine will crank but not start.

On my 4/4 if the switch trips the engine will crank but not start. Yep - done that. My son-in-law has just been round and we've eliminated the fuses as a potential source using one of his testing gizmos. Many thanks for your suggestions chaps. It's over to BHM now.

I have the exact same problem, going back to Morgan to sought out under warranty end of November, I will let you know how they rectified the fault. From your comments and reply's this seems a common problem. Had car from new, fault started around 12 months ago. Coil in correct position on barrel.

UPDATE:
Last weekend, when we went for a drive, the immobiliser was slow to disarm. Not the usual two seconds, more like ten seconds.
When we came back after 46 miles with a hot cockpit, I re-tested it and it was back to two seconds.
So today I did a bit more experimenting................
It was cold in the garage, about 5 degrees C. I inserted the key and it was reluctant to disarm. So I wiped the side of the key against the lock barrel and it then disarmed. I put the key in the ignition but didn't start the engine.
With the key in place after 20 odd seconds the immobiliser re-activated. Note that it doesn't do this if the engine has been started.
I then connected the battery charger with the key still in place and within a couple of minutes, if that, the immobiliser de-activated.
Clearly then, this is a temperature/voltage issue. Cold temp reduces battery voltage........
After an hour on the charger, I'm back to a two second disarm when I put the key into the lock barrel.
Keith at BHM, and other dealers are aware of this issue.

At the Breakfast meet at RTCC the other week apparently there were four others as well as myself with the same issue.

I think BHM have had five. Not sure if that includes mine!
I wonder if its a dodgy batch of immobilisers.
It would be interesting to see if these cars went through the factory at the same time.
