Hi All

Yet another issue with my CX. The paint on the near side windscreen pillar is blistering badly at the base of the pillar in an area of about 2cm by 1cm. Looks like it won't be long until the paint actually flakes off. Has anyone else had this issue and if so was the dealer / factory accommodating? My car is always garaged and only has 3k miles on it. Couldn't even drive it for the first 9 months due to the brake recall issue, that was after the overseer problems, but before the dodgy wheel spinners, faulty wire rim that leaked air, leaking (replaced rad), squeaking clutch etc. Seems every time I go and use the car I find another problem.

Anyway, ranting aside, anyone else had this issue and if so how was it resolved (aside from re-painting of course smile )

Thanks in advance for any info
Neil

oh yeah, had the A pillars repainted too. (now blistering again) along with the clutch master cylinder. er...radiator, brakes, window seal, seals around wiper arms, daft pack fitted, sheared bonnet catch, horn fell off, one spot lamp replaced due to paint flake, other one needs doing, leaking door, leaking roof, door mirror fell apart (swapped with Librands) dimmer switch replaced, rust stain from front indicator, rust stain from internal door catch. next is .. brakes occasionally make a clunk (alloys) chassis now creaks like hell on bad surfaces, wheel centre caps are blistering, quite a few screws are rusting, think that's it! .... still love it tho', just the little niggles drive you mad. not sure what planet Morgan are on tho' with all their latest advertising campaigns & instagram posts. ... sort your cars out!! They obviously didn't expect someone to actually drive their cars (21k in 2 ¼ yrs) & drive it hard at times ..thought it was a sports car? ...it is :-)
A pillars done under warranty no questions, in fact everything above was just sorted by the dealer which made a huge difference.

Mine only is 30 months . The clincher get of jail card is:-
DAMAGE CAUSED BY USE AND/OR THE ENVIRONMENT
Your New Vehicle Limited Warranty does not cover surface rust and deterioration
of paint, trim, upholstery, and other appearance items that result from use and/or
exposure to the elements.



I understand but have no paper work that the new rad is good for 24 months.
Extract form the owners manual for an MY22 car on line is below:-

Warranty Information
When the vehicle needs warranty repairs it should be taken to an authorised
Morgan service dealer.
If there are questions or concerns with the vehicle, we suggest these steps
are followed:
1. Contact a Morgan Service Advisor at an authorised Morgan Service Dealer.
2. If the inquiry or concern remains unresolved, contact the Dealer Principal.
3. If the inquiry or concern cannot be resolved, please contact the Morgan
Customer Assistance Department at:
Morgan Motor Company Limited
Pickersleigh Road, Malvern,
Worcestershire, England WR14 2LL
Customer Assistance telephone: 0044 1684 573104
(This is a UK-based telephone number)
Warranties that apply to your Morgan:
KNOW WHEN YOUR WARRANTY BEGINS
The Warranty Start Date (for all warranties) is the day the first retail owner
takes delivery of the new vehicle, or the day it is first put into service (for
example, as a demonstrator), whichever occurs first.
CHECK THE VEHICLE
We check vehicles carefully at the factory to assure quality. Upon delivery,
check the vehicle over carefully and if there is any damage or issues, and if
there is any concern with the finish of the vehicle, please notify your supplying
Morgan Dealer immediately.
MAINTAIN THE VEHICLE PROPERLY
Proper maintenance protects against major repair expenses resulting from
neglect or inadequate maintenance. It is the owner’s responsibility to make
sure that all of the scheduled maintenance is performed within 1 month
or 1,000 miles of the due requirement and that the materials used meet
Morgan specifications. Failure to perform scheduled maintenance as specified
in the Scheduled Maintenance Guide will invalidate warranty coverage on
parts affected by the lack of maintenance. Make sure that confirmation of
maintenance work is kept.
WHO PAYS FOR WARRANTY REPAIRS?
The owner will not be charged for qualifying warranty repairs during the
warranty period for the New Vehicle Limited Warranty or Emissions Warranty.
The Morgan Motor Company
New Vehicle Limited Warranty
Your Morgan is covered by the Morgan Motor Company New Vehicle Limited
Warranty for a period of 30 months or 30,000 miles / 50,000 Km (whichever
comes first). The New Vehicle Limited Warranty is the only warranty applicable
to your vehicle. Morgan does not assume nor authorise anyone to assume for it
any other obligation or liability in connection with your vehicle or this warranty.

MORGAN is not responsible for any time that you lose, for any inconvenience
you might be caused, for the loss of your transportation, or for any other
incidental or consequential damages you may have. You may also have some
implied warranties.
For example, you may have:
• An implied warranty of merchantability (that the car is reasonably fit for
the general purpose for which it was sold) or...
• An implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose (that the car is
suitable for your special purposes).
These implied warranties are limited, to the extent allowed by law, to the time
period covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty, or to the applicable
time period provided by state law, whichever period is shorter.
WHAT IS COVERED UNDER THE NEW VEHICLE LIMITED WARRANTY?
Your warranty covers you for Year 1 free recovery service for United Kingdom
registered and operated cars supplied by a United Kingdom Morgan dealer (please
see separate handbook for terms and conditions). For cars supplied by Morgan
dealers in other countries, please confirm with your supplying Morgan dealer the
level of break down cover which they are able to arrange in your country.
During this coverage period, the authorised Morgan service point will repair,
replace, or adjust all parts on your vehicle that are defective in factory-supplied
materials or workmanship. Items and conditions that are not covered by the
New Vehicle Limited Warranty are described below. When making warranty
repairs on your vehicle, the authorised service point will use genuine Morgan
new or re-manufactured parts, or other parts that are authorised by Morgan.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE NEW VEHICLE
LIMITED WARRANTY?
DAMAGE CAUSED BY:
• Accidents, collision or objects striking the vehicle.
• Acts of theft, vandalism, war, riot, fire or explosion.
• Freezing.
• Misusing of the vehicle, such as speeding, driving over curbs, overloading.
• Altering or modifying the vehicle – including the engine, body, chassis, or
components – after the vehicle leaves Morgan’s control.
• Non-MORGAN parts installed after the vehicle leaves Morgan’s control.
(For example, but not limited to, cellular phones, alarm systems.)
• Tampering with the vehicle, its emissions systems, or with other parts that
affect these systems.
• Disconnecting or altering the odometer or allowing the odometer to be
inoperative for an extended period of time with the result that the actual
mileage cannot be determined.
• Using contaminated or improper fuel/fluids.
• Customer-applied chemicals or accidental spills.
• Driving through water deep enough to cause the ingress of water into the
engine or control systems.
• Driving on unreasonable road surfaces such as closed roads, circuits or
race tracks or driving in excess of legal speed limits for extended periods.
• Use in racing, timed competitive or track events, or after fitment of parts
sold as “off road” or “competition-only” parts.
DAMAGE CAUSED BY USE AND/OR THE ENVIRONMENT
Your New Vehicle Limited Warranty does not cover surface rust and deterioration
of paint, trim, upholstery, and other appearance items that result from use and/or
exposure to the elements.
Here are examples:
• Stone chips, scratches • Dents and other panel damage
(some examples are on paint)
• Cuts, burns, punctures or tears • Road salt, tree sap
• Bird droppings • Lightning, hail
• Windstorm • Earthquake
• Water or flood • Normal interior ageing
DAMAGE CAUSED BY IMPROPER MAINTENANCE
Your New Vehicle Limited Warranty does not cover damage caused by
failure to maintain the vehicle, improperly servicing or maintaining the vehicle,
or using the wrong part, fuel, oil, lubricants, or fluids.
MAINTENANCE / WEAR AND TEAR
Your New Vehicle Limited Warranty does not cover: (1) parts and labour
needed to maintain the vehicle; and (2) the replacement of parts due to normal
wear and tear. You, as the owner, are responsible for these items.
Here are examples:
• Oil changes • Oils, lubricants, other fluids
• Oil/air filters • Brake linings/pads
• Tyre rotation or balancing • Cleaning/polishing
• Clutch linings • Engine tune-up
• Bulbs • Belts
• Hoses • Wheel alignment
OTHER ITEMS AND CONDITIONS NOT COVERED
Your New Vehicle Limited Warranty also does not cover:
• Vehicle recovery / transport is not covered, unless you have confirmed
recovery cover with your supplying Morgan Dealer.
• Any vehicle to which the warranty does not apply as described in section 2.
• Minor wind noise or water ingress or normal vehicle noises or vibrations.
• Non-Morgan engine parts; for example, parts installed by modifiers, or
damage to original components caused by installation of such non-Morgan,
other than “certified” emissions parts.
• Vehicles that have ever been labelled or branded as “dismantled”, “fire”,
“flood”, “junk”, “rebuilt”, “reconstructed”, or “salvaged”; this will void the New
Vehicle Limited Warranty.
• Vehicles that have been determined to be a “total loss” by an insurance
company; this will void the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
• Tyres, Navigation System, batteries.
• Incidental and consequential damage, as explained above.
• Brand Partnership items
Warranties on Tyres, Navigation System, Batteries
The tyre, navigation system, and battery manufacturers provide you with separate
warranties. You will find these warranties with the owner literature supplied with
your new vehicle. Morgan provides no warranty coverage on these items.
However, if a tyre, navigation system or battery is damaged during the New
Vehicle Limited Warranty coverage period because of a vehicle defect in
factory-supplied materials or workmanship, Morgan will replace the tyre, sound
system component or battery.
General Maintenance Information
This guide describes the scheduled maintenance required for your vehicle.
Carefully following this schedule helps protect against major repair expenses
resulting from neglect or inadequate maintenance. It is your responsibility to
see that all scheduled maintenance is performed and that the materials used
meet engineering specifications. Failure to perform scheduled maintenance
specified in this guide will invalidate warranty coverage on parts affected by
the lack of maintenance. Be sure confirmation of the work performed is always
kept. Your authorised service point has factory-trained technicians who can
perform the required maintenance using genuine parts. To assure the proper
performance of your vehicle and its emission control systems, scheduled
maintenance must be completed at the designated intervals. Engine parts other
than Morgan new or re-manufactured parts that are used for maintenance
replacement or for the service of components must be equivalent to genuine
Morgan part in performance and durability. It is the owner’s responsibility to
assure the equivalency of such parts.
Which Schedule Should You Follow?
NORMAL SCHEDULE
The Normal Schedule applies to those who operate their vehicle under typical,
everyday driving conditions. The maintenance frequency represented in the
normal schedule typifies what most vehicle operators will require. Please refer
to the “Dealership Normal Service Schedule” on page 75 for this schedule.
SPECIAL OPERATING CONDITIONS
If the vehicle is operated in any of the more demanding “Special Operating
Conditions” listed below, some items will need to be maintained more frequently.
• Extensive idling and/or driving at low speeds for long distances
• Driving in dusty conditions
If the vehicle is only occasionally operated under these conditions, it is not
necessary to perform the additional maintenance. For specific
recommendations contact the Morgan Customer Assistance Centre.
Special Operating Conditions
EXTENSIVE IDLING AND / OR LOW-SPEED DRIVING FOR LONG
DISTANCES AND OPERATION IN DUSTY CONDITIONS
(such as unpaved or dusty roads):
Every 6,000 miles / 9,500 kilometres or 9 months:

As required:
