My sales guy said he would see if he could get a pic of the car after it’s finished next week, so if he comes through I’ll post. I did order the build book with car so looking forward to seeing all the factory pics when it comes in 😀

Sales got sent me a pic from the paint shop showing all the painted parts of my S3. One step closer... Can't figure out how to get the pic small enough to actually load on here though.

You could try emailing the pic to yourself - it may give you the option to resize the file - select the smaller file size, send it and when you receive it post that one.

I transported the car over to England at my own expense last month, and I travelled over to England myself to collect it to save money on the homeward transport fees. Morgan refused to cover the transportation costs or offer anything in a way of compensation.
My Dad joined me this time, we got a flight to the airport and had to get an Uber to the dealership.
The car seemed to drive much better now they had sorted its alignment, and I was actually able to keep it in a straight line on the motorway for once. Also the foot well heater is now working for the first time! What a game changer!
We got to Liverpool docks without incident. The boat is an over night ferry and arrives into Belfast at 6.30am. Upon arrival into Belfast we started up the engine, and the bloody battery warning light buzzed on again!
I was gutted, clearly the battery is draining, and any plans for long road trips this summer in the S3 won't be happening. I just don't trust it anymore! Luckily I live only 20 minutes from the docks and the warning light went away after 10 seconds or so......


Though we never made it home. During the drive home the clutch went, and I couldn't get the car into gear whatsoever, and came to a stop in a lay-by! The only tow truck able to take a 3 wheeler didn't answer the phone. Though we luckily came to a stop only 2 miles from my mechanic, so I got him out of bed (7am) and he came to meet us. He jumped in and skilfully got it into 2nd gear, by rocking the car back and forth. He got it going while in gear by holding his finger on the starter button and off he went with me driving his van behind him.

After giving the dealership the latest bad news, they have agreed to cover transportation costs this time and it will be with them on Tuesday morning. They did say to me that it's likely to be the cable going to the master cylinder, like it's a common fault?

I'm absolutely gutted. I'll be honest, I was so annoyed last week, that I did enquire if refusing the car and just getting my money back was an option. Apparently I can't, because you must give them the opportunity to fix any problem. Although I think the problem with the battery/alternator covers this.

Hopefully the car comes back to me in good time, and will be reliable from now on. Though I won't hold my breath.

The car has only covered 800 miles.

Dear Chris,

Looks like I am having the same clutch issue as you did. Yesterday, I was driving around, fully enjoying the fantastic weather. Today, sat in the car and noticed that the clutch pedal was basically movable without any resistance, so very "loose" feel to it. Also, not able to put in any gears. I am really disappointed now as this is in the middle of a fantastic weather long weekend, and I am "grounded" mad2 . My dealer is away a good 100 km and I will have to wait till Tuesday, call them up, persuade them to pick up the undrivable Super 3 and have them fix the issue. On the bright side, they can also do the 3 month check and fix my extra lights that do not work since delivery somestick. I hope this all goes free of charge under warranty...

Plus ca change ......

Some years back I bought a brand new 3.7 Roadster.

The clutch failed to operate 24 hours later and the car had to be recovered to my local Morgan Dealer. They weren't the supplying dealer and I had a very good relationship with them so they were quite forthcoming. Turns out it was a clutch cylinder issue that was known to the factory ! A modified replacement cured it.

Aside from corroded screws and fittings all over the place (that would have cost pennies to improve at the build stage) the car was reliable after that.

I'm gutted for you mate. At least you weren't stranded far from home. If my clutch broke while I was in the middle of nowhere I don't know what I would have done.

I only got the car back yesterday. It was gone for 2 months!

I had 100 other issues so I'm sure yours won't be gone that long. Morgan will definitely pay for the transport. If the dealer says they won't then go straight to Morgan. I had to email the CEO for my refund! 😂

The transport guy said that when he was collecting the car, the mechanic had told him that there was a recall about the clutch and my car should have been recalled, but wasn't. This would explain why they knew about what it was straight away. I think it's something to do with the clutch valve?

When I read your experience with the super3, it reminds me why I sold my MTW to replace it with a V6 Roadster (4 wheels).... innocent
