It's a fine line Adrian. MSCC has built up a good relationship with MMC over the past few years. And lets face it, MSCC can only release information it has been given by MMC, which has also been authorised for release.
Miscellany isn't there to speculate or throw accusations around. It's a club magazine run by enthusiasts, most of whom are unpaid, but give their time willingly. I have no doubt that the unfolding issues with the CX cars are discussed at the MSCC committee meetings. If you feel strongly that MSCC could do more, then contact the Secretary and maybe go to the next meeting and provide some personal feedback? I have no strong feelings and I have been very happy to respond to MSCC’s questionnaires on the matter and really appreciated their feedback. I just thought it was a glaring omission on such a serious and current issue and it left me with the impression it’s not something anyone wants to talk about +1

Well for nothing was exagerate maybe. I never had the chance to test one of my four morgan before . Our dealer is to small to have test cars . I dont know exactly what really happened with the two cars losing all braking . What i said is the braking was very poor since the beginning ,that all . And i expected that if they have to revise the master cylinder they would also check the feeling of the pedal. Since almost two years i drive always with a very long distance between me and the car in front of me . I case of emergency ( a child, a cat ) i am never sure i would be able to stop . And i dont drive fast. The braking of my first 4/4 (with drums at the rear) was better , and the arp4 was a lot better (with four disks).

I too had long brake pedal travel and whilst my car was back at the factory for a number of faults to be rectified they adjusted the linkage to remove the excessive travel.. whilst this is nothing to do with the recall there appears to be a solution to this issue.

I am glad to ear that. Normally my dealer should call me this week.
I hope he will do the same.

I've had my new Plus Four, delayed like everyone else, a week now. We went straight off for a weeks tour of Scotland to add miles and experience the car. All went well and I'm pleased with the car, my only criticism is the brakes, unfortunately the factory mods have not improved the long, soft pedal. Compared to my 1 series BMW the brake pedal feel and confidence are a real shortfall in the Mog. The car has the superb auto gearbox and returned close to 50mpg average over 1200 touring miles (accurately calculated from fill ups). When stopped in traffic the brake pedal needs quite a heavy push to remain stationary. My wife was delighted with comfortable seats and no leaks!
It may be the only CX in Mazda Racing Orange? I hope everyone gets their cars sorted soon. Indeed one has to press fairly hard on the brakes to prevent the car moving forward when stationary in drive. The gearbox does not work in the same as as a duel clutch system. When stationary, I always select neutral.

Hi fellow Morganeers. I'm new to the TM forum, but I have been following the various threads since I received my Plus Four in June last year.
I've nothing useful to add regarding the disappointments concerning the brake problem, but I see there are many comments about radiator leakages. I have had no problem so far in the cooling department, but the car has not done many miles. My car was built in Feb 21, so I am wondering if my car is going to require a radiator change? How do I know?
If anyone can give me some idea then I can follow it up when the time comes for the brake fix. My situation is a bit messed up as the car is in the Netherlands! Up to now Louwman exclusive in Utrecht have given me excellent service (even replacing the entire windscreen wiper assembly due to problems with them) so I'm sure they will do everything required - I would just like to know what to expect. I suspect it will still be many weeks before my car is let loose again!!

It’s my understanding that the radiator mods, (Swirl pot, etc) are only being done to vehicles that have previously suffered a radiator leak. As far as I know, and delighted to be corrected…if you don’t have a leak before the warranty expires, then you are on your own! So best to drive it as much as possible before then!
