Talk Morgan Forums Thread Like Summary - +4 GDI routine maintenance -- what should be done?

Where I live there isn't convenient access to any Morgan specialists or anything like that so I will be having annual service performed on my 2019 +4 by a local garage that has at least some experience with "exotic" cars. My question, if I may impose on the wisdom of the citizens of TM, is what should actually be done on an annual basis?

I assume annual oil and filter change of course, and I can look up other requirements for the Ford 2.0 l engine and the Mazda gearbox. But are there Morgan-specific periodic service items/checks that I should ask the mechanic to perform? (Note: I have learned how to grease the kingpins and already take care of that myself, but I am not at all a mechanical person so will be hiving off the service to someone who at least somewhat knows what they're doing ).

Any guidance gratefully received!

Adam.

From my experience, in particular:
1. Spark plug bodies are notorious for corroding due to moisture getting into the plug wells, so unscrew, clean and re-insert every year. A stuck plug in an alloy head is no fun.
2. Remove rear brake drums annually and check brake cylinders have not seized;, apply ceretec grease or similar under dust boots.
3. Lubricate rear spring leaves with motor cycle chain oil (one that is suitable for o-ring chains)
4. Spanner check every nut and screw, as screws in particular come loose
5. Check diagonal tie-rods from top of cross frame to chassis rail; I have had two break over the years and it doesn’t look obvious unless you give them a shake. (Do this every time you grease the king pins.)
6. Lubricate the pedal box and clevis pins annually

Thanks Jon that's really useful -- a bit embarrassed I didn't think of that myself! (Love the way ChatGTP so sycophantically states what a fantastically great question it was )

Adam ... never trust a robot! ... once they get their feet under the table they'll be as rude as we are!!! 😆

Decent list though! 🙂
