Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Morgan Plus Four, Supersport & Plus Six (CX & CXV Generation Vehicles) Faulty radiator

Small radiator leak.New has to be order and replaced under waranty.

12 hours work ,wings and bonnet have to be removed.

Good luck, it's a good job that it's under warranty 12 hours labour is hugely expensive.

Are this the same radiators BMW uses also with this engine?

I suppose .It is very big ,that is the reason why the wings

Have to be removed. They will also change the fixation .

The car has 4400 km and the leak is very very small.

Meanwhile i was in the garage i took a look on a new plus four made in

2021. It is interresting to see some improvement, the new seats

Are deeper than those on my car, the rim around the lights are well fixed,

The gap between the sidscreens ans the door is closed.But the car becomes very

Expensive ,with the same configuration she is 8000 euros more expensive than

My car.

Interesting changes to the model as they go along thierry and good to hear they have better seats now and sealing of the door screens, as you say at a price.

Thierry,
I have a plus four and the sidescreens are definitely NOT sealed - there is a gale of wind coming in at the back of each side. How are the sidescreens sealed - I would like to do this to mine!!!!

It seems to be better adjusted on 2021 models.

I was thinking of cut some self adhesive rubber used

In aeromodelism to isolate the receptor from vibrations.

Thanks, Thierry. I feel a session with neoprene sponge is in order!!!

As HO said when I expressed interest in a Plus Four , wait a few years for the QC dept (AKA owners) to sort out the design failures or features as they are called.

Yes I agree on that point but looking further ahead into ownership I wouldn't fancy that kind of bill for a radiator failure out of warranty, you can bet your life it will be exactly the same type of radiator goes back in. thierry did allude to the fact that the mountings may be different which could tell the full story of the failure.

Having bought my 4/4 Sport new in 2009 it being launched at the time, it's not an experience I care to relive four windscreens later and various parts of bodywork and light fittings being littered all over Dartmoor as they became unglued not impressed at all.
26,000 joyful miles once the first year was out the way though.
