Hi Thierry,
If you decide to change your shock absorbers, I recommend to go to "AVO Rutherford" , unfortunately marketed by very few sellers. They are the only ones build especially for Morgan, and they are adjusted with a small wheel on the side of the shock absorber. You have 10 clicks to set the hardness, but nothing to remove, no tool, just pass the hand and turn the wheel to adjust, so you can do that on the road very easily.
Good luck.
BR.
Daniel.

These "Rutherford" AVO's are advertised in Miscellany - I got mine from Tim Ayres at New Elms. I do find they make quite a difference to the +4!!

It looks like Heart of England stock the AVO shocks. £145 plus VAT per pair.
Something I may well go over to at some stage.

I was told that Chas Windridge sales AVO Rutherford but calibrated for track use, but I am not sure and I didn't check. BR. Daniel.

This was possible on old 4 seaters wich had 7 leafs .I dont think 3 leafs are enough on a 4/4 sport.Sunday i made a small
tour with my wife around Huldenberg to check the koni .It was
the first time she cames in the car.On some roads it was so hard i had to drive at 20 km/h.She never felt that in my other 4/4.
Di you see the demo three wheeler at garage Albert ?

thierry,
saw the demo, it looks great
on your car, never trust a female judgement on a car!!!
(unless her name is Vicky Henderson)
let's meet when my 3whlr has it's numberplate on
a few nice pictures and then I'll join you in the 4/4 to check if it feels abnormal (I wonder how good it pulls...)

this morning i went to garage Albert to set the koni's on the softest position .Something wrong with the dampers he has to order new one.Thomas phoned to the factory to ask wy the 4/4 sport has a block between the leaf and the rear axle and not on the +4.This is to lower the suspension due to larger wheel.The problem of the hard suspension is well know and they suggest to add extra weight at the rear (sand bags) for 5000 km.
