Hello,
i am registered since today, thing i should introduce myself now. My name is Andreas, coming originally from germany and live in Switzerland since 25 years.
Since four weeks i have an 2009 racing green Morgan 4/4 sport. The car is real fun. Already did some small things like buying a grease gun and tried to get
something in these ... nipples - a real greasy mess.
Added a center steel dash over the black original, installed a new radio with remote control and refurbished the leather.
Some things to next time, radiator is leaking and the dampers should be changed. Hope i can do it by myself. So many helpful threads here in the forum,
should be possible.
Last thing - sorry for the horrible english :-)
BR

Welcome Andreas, you have a great car there and the absolute essence of Morganing with light weight and more than enough power. Wishing you many happy kilometers in your beautiful countryside.
Congratulations on getting your avatar on most people take months to get that sorted, what a lovely looking Labrador ?

Welcome Andreas from Cologne. Ok I am also not a native English speaker but your introducing text is nice and fully understandable. I know this is the welcome forum but may I ask which radio with remote you have chosen as I am searching for one as well. Nice dog BTW.

Hi Richard and Heinz,
thanks for the nice welcome :-)
My "big one" looks like a Labrador, unfortunately she isn't one. It's a mix of a turkish shepherd (Kangal).
The radio is a real cheap Auna MD-180. It is not really nice, but i will only see it during maintenance.
Advantage is bluetooth and an SD card slot and a free remote control. Disadvantage it shows time and
date when turned off.
BR
Andreas

Andreas, Gruesti. There are lots of tips on here on how to change dampers & radiators. Simon who is on here runs a company (SiFab) making aluminium radiators. SiFabI wish you a lot of happy motoring in your Mog. John

Andreas Andreas she is a fine looking dog and a new breed to me. This maybe of interest to you it's not exclusive to M3W's and they always have a great time.

Welcome to TM Andreas.
Another vote for SiFab Aluminium radiators here - its the only way to ensure a first time fix. The original has done well to last as long as it has.

I am really ashamed, already ordered an aluminium radiator from an other seller because i lose a lot of coolant  If i had the infos about Simon one week earlier  Here some pics from my green / tan beauty  ![[Linked Image]](http://www.talkmorgan.com/gallery/26/full/39316.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://www.talkmorgan.com/gallery/26/full/39317.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://www.talkmorgan.com/gallery/26/full/39318.jpg) The modification of the dash is well known here. Was a simple thing - hardest part is to find the courage to remove the dash. Only stupid thing that cost me 2 hours was the removal of the switches... BR Andreas
