Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Maintenance & Servicing removing 2009 roadster cowl

We had a neighbour who was a train driver on local service Liverpool St. to Southend and suffered at least one suicide death. Drivers get regular counselling on such deaths which happen more often than one might imagine.

A couple of our junior engineers working near Windhoek in SWA were trundling along on a dirt road in the company Landie when a Kudu jumped out on them, It came up over the bonnet and took them both out.
Very sad they were young and would have had good careers ahead of them, I will admit to being relieved that on this occasion I was not asked to make those phone calls home.

When in police ops I had a couple of calls from people threatening to jump. All resolved ok thankfully after talking to them until support got there. Some other calls were weird or amusing. All types unforgettable for their own reasons.
As for hitting things, hit rabbits, birds, missed pheasants (yummy roadkill). Never any fish though.....despite a near miss when a lorry dumped a fish cargo onto a roundabout.

My Brother in Law is ex West Mercia. He got called out late one night as they'd had a train track jumper. It was dark, foggy night and him and a few colleagues, along with some railway staff had to go up on the tracks to try and find and collect the 'pieces'.

Had a bit of success, but he said the eiriest part was the sight of a railway worker coming out of the mist, swinging his railway light in one hand, and a head in the other......

Clearing up after an IED in Northern Ireland was never good.

In the old days you started as a cleaner basically cleaning the steam engines. Dad told me he once had to clean up from another driver hitting a cow. By all accounts it gets everywhere with all those rotating bits & bakes onto the warm bits.

This would have been an ideal thread-drift for Halloween!!! ..... fortunately the OP got his answer before it all went Edgar Allan Poe!😮

ok guys thanks for the BBC wildlife series answers all very good but i need you to focus now, perhaps i should have been more specific, i need to remove the cowl to get at the pipe connecting the expansion tank to the top of the radiator as the pipe connection has failed. If i cant repair it then the new radiator becomes a necessity

thank you

Steve,
can you just not drop the grill & wire mesh to get access? Remove the number plate & number plate box. It usually is held on by 2 screws.

Late one dark night I had a call.
“I’ve found a head in the road”. Male caller a bit shocked. No body visible.
Got the location. Sent a car. Two officers initially. The head appeared to have rolled down the bank on the roadside. A quick search found a body under a tree. It was a missing person reported a month earlier. He had hung himself from the tree and eventually his neck separated, causing the head to roll down.
