Anybody going to the factory ? I would love to see some real life pictures of the Super 3 US version front lights. I know they updated the web site but it would be great to have more angles and real photos  I'm not sure when they will start manufacturing them but it should be in April. Anyway it is a long shot! thank you.

Anyway it is a long shot! thank you. I would also like to see some pictures of the US specification lighting setup, I expect that this is due to the Morgan 3 wheeler issue from 2016 where they lost an appeal with NHTSA regarding front headlight spacing and DOT marking https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-2016-04-12/2016-08360

The words "inconsequential noncompliance" are amusing....
This is quite funny !

Super 3: question on squealing drive belt noise.
After some driving with my news Super 3, the drive belt started squealing - as already descrbed by other forum members (BarkBark or Chris?). As soon as I slightly push the accellerator, the squealing starts, which is quite an annoying noise.
Question: can this only be fixed by the dealer by properly aligning the belt, or is a solution just to slightly grease the drive belt? Sorry, I am (obviously) no mechanic, but I do not know if this drive belt MUST be kept dry (not greased) to allow proper function, i.e. not slipping on the wheel. Any opinions on this?
The drive to the dealer, waiting and coming back would take me a full day, so if that can be fixed by myself that would be more convenient.

Hi
based on my experience with my own Super3 the squealing is caused by insufficient tension in the belt, I would keep the wheel alignment as set by the dealer/factory ie both adjusters measure the same amount out
The belt needs to have 8mm to 10mm up and down movement in the centre of run or a max of 45 degree twist by hand, so fairly tight
Reading about these belts lubrication is not recommended.
This adjustment can be done at home if you are happy with doing DIY car maintainence and have the particular tools needed

Dear Paul, many thanks for taking the time to reply, very much appreciated. I will have a look over the long weekend and see if it helps.

My Super 3 is currently at my dealership having a long list of warranty issues sorted. Unfortunately there’s still no fix for the buzzing fuel vapour system problem. Though they are replacing all the corroded front suspension assembly set up, new foot heater as mine has never felt hot, new rear brake drum, new exhaust hanger, rear wheel alignment and belt adjustment. I can’t wait to get the car back and to start enjoying it again.
They are also giving the car its first 3 month service. I was hoping someone on here could check their service book to see what needs done on the first service? I want to double and triple check with the dealership that everything has been done before I fly over next week to drive it back.
