Morgan Servicing

Morgan Home New Sales Parts Race Preparation Used Sales Links

Our workshops can carry out anything from a minor service to a major rebuild on any model of Morgan, it does not have to be a green +8!!
Yes! Three green +8’s all ready for collection; one car was entrusted to us for major check over and service before being shipped out to New Zealand for our customer's holiday.

Morgan Aero 8 servicing just part of our everyday work. We have the BMW diagnostic equipment to keep your Aero on the road.

Of course, it doesn't just have to be servicing you can ask Autorapide to do! Here we've installed a Librands roll bar into a +8. The installation of these bars is not simple, but installed properly they become an integral part of the body/chassis, forming a very strong rear end. Removing all the interior out of a mint condition Morgan is always a daunting task, despite having removed hundreds over the years, as Morgan’s quality of leather gets better and better!

	These pictures show the complex installation. Although these bars come black they were later colour coded to the interior cream, thus blending into the interior very nicely. We can colour code to any match of interior.

A 3.9 +8 about to be taken apart after suffering headgasket failure due to a fan switch not actuating the fan!
	The cylinder head after being machined on the face ready for installation. The head was not completely decoked as it is a very low mileage car and all the valves, guides etc were in A1 condition.
Here we see both cylinder heads reassembled. You will note that it has been converted to the ARP cylinder head stud kit, which when used in conjunction with the later Compothane head gaskets, improves sealing all round and reduces the risk of this happening again.
	Inlet manifold fitted with standard trumpets, 2008 may see the installation of a Librands exhaust system and carbon fibre trumpets. This car has already had the Optimax chip and fuel pressure regulator so the exhaust and trumpets will compliment that.
A job we constantly carry out to Morgans is brake conversions. Over the years we have developed systems for either road use, to give you more feel on non servo cars, or uprated systems for fast road or track use.

This system, which incorporates a 280mm ventilated/radial grooved disc and 4 pot alloy AP racing caliper is the ultimate braking for any Morgan. This was mated to the hub using our own design of mounting bell and caliper carrier. This actual set up is being used on a 280bhp road going +8 but can also be installed on any 4/4 or +4!

This set up shows an upgrade we did recently on a +4 which utilises new standard disc, overhauled/uprated caliper and fast road EBC brake pads. All this and new DOT 4 brake fluid; enough to transform any tired brakes!

This shows a recent brake conversion we did to a customers 4/4, incorporating new brake discs, four pot calipers from the later cars, green EBC brake pads and Aeroquip hoses all running on DOT5 brake fluid. An alternative, and slightly cheaper option than going to the full ventilated conversion, yet a massive improvement over the standard setup. A must for any fast road use or track day enthusiast.
	Pictured here is one of a number of engines rebuilt this year, this being a Fiat 2 litre Twin cam for a Morgan +4. Modifications included fast road cams, remapped distributor curve and downdraught IDF Webers. All in all a fast road engine with lots of grunt.
