Thanks, seems like you also like unusual / individual colours (I'm still a little unsure of the colour but Aero's are individual so why not an indivual colour happy3). Had it at Williams on Friday to try sort a vibration issue. Changed 1 buckled wheel which helped a bit but seems there is a split in the propshaft which may be the root cause drive stars.

Definitely check the propshaft as it will give a slight vibration at some speeds if loose. Only vibrations at some speeds but not all. The next think you know....Bang!! Worst sounding thing ever, sounds like blown gearbox and sparks everywhere. Gearbox mounting sheared off. The fix was either buy a new gearbox £8,000 plus vat for parts and probably couple more thousand or so for labour or perhaps matching gearbox from scrapped BMW, remove innards, replace with the Aero innards making use of the gearbox casing and all good to go. Don't ask how I know. Fortunately, there are a lot of matching auto -boxes in scrapped bmw's!

I had a few bolts on the S2 prop swapped at the last service. Not a huge deal.


Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

confused2 Thanks Shooter, think may start a new thread if I can upload a photo of the split innthe propshaft see if others concur that this may be the issue. idea I think logic says will be so will need a specialist to replace which will involve dropping the suspension. Car needs a service which I knew about.
Cheers
