My first time posting. Just want to say thanks for providing updates on how this issue is progressing. This forum was the only place where I could find at least some answers to the problem that’s grounded my Plus Six. Was planning a trip in her starting in 3 weeks and looks increasingly unlikely. Although MMC are supplying some info, there is nothing to indicate when the fix kits will reach dealerships in EU locations. I’m in Germany and so I expect I will have to wait even longer, as anything coming here now from the UK has a longer lead time thanks to BREXIT (not that I want to start a discussion about that 🙄) I’m lucky to also have the Roadster but seeing the Plus Six just sit in the garage for the last 6 weeks is depressing. First world problem, but still disappointing! I also really sympathise with the dealers who are caught in the middle of this mess with stock they can’t sell - costing them a lot at this time of year.

This is very strange. My dealer asked if i have more info on the forum than they have. Today the weather was so nice and we have been to an aeromodelism jet meeting. Some nice roads in Wallonie but without the morgan. It is sad .

I hope this issue is fixed very quickly for all CX owners! I bought my Morgan 1,5 years ago as a daily driver and had to learn the hard way that the car is not up to the job. Now the 8th radiator needs to go in the car and the car is garaged for 1,5 months due to the brake issue. Because I need to be mobile for my job I have decided to reluctantly send it back to the dealer and get myself another daily :-(.

You have my utmost sympathy - for what it is worth and can only apologise on behalf of what precious little there is left of British engineering.
Hoping for a proper radiator and brake fix for all 1274 of you CX guys and girls.

Eight rads does seem somewhat extreme (my sympathies Pigo)….I am only on my second and must confess a little confusion as to why, if mine has had the fix, that it has to go back to the factory for both the brakes and to fit yet another radiator. Does this mean the first fix is expected to go wrong again (obv. Pigo’s experience would indicate a possibility) - are there other regular failures in the supposed rad fix elsewhere in the CX world, I wonder, that means MMC are taking the opportunity whilst they are sorting the brakes… It’s a shame really especially as we are missing out on some cracking top down driving weather in the U.K. at present. Must confess I have avoided contacting my dealership entirely throughout this issue (bar replying to a couple of emails) as I could see no reason or benefit to picking up the phone and having a pop at someone who is simply selling a product provided by MMC. I don’t really want to add to their no doubt extreme frustrations and undo a good relationship that I have with them. C’est la vie HB

8th radiator!! My friend with a new Plus Four, is on his third or maybe fourth radiator and I thought that was bad enough. He loves the Plus Four but gets nostalgic about his (totally reliable) 2009 Anniversary 3.0ltr Roadster that he part exchanged. However he does have a lovely 1986 Porsche Targa to use on sunny days whilst the brakes are being fixed on the Morgan. Bud 4/4 - Stanley

My car has already 3 radiators , the third is leaking, but only few drops. The reservoir cap has been changed after the third radiator.
