If you have not had the car long, throw it back to the garage as not fit for purpose use the small claims court if necessary.

sadly its an option that i will have to take, seeing its a morgan main dealer, i am very disappointed in them,i paid the full price and expected a good relationship with them.my last morgan i bought in 1980 and stayed with the same dealer all the time i had it

Some 3rd party OBD readers will show the Immobiliser status, but not many. I checked my bluetooth dongle & iphone today, and it does not show it, but my Delphi CDP does show the immobiliser as ok.

Like Keith says, if you bought it 7 weeks ago, then sale of goods rules mean they have to sort it or refund you.

Do the DIY basics first, and check for spark & fuel pressure. There's a schrader valve on the GEMS fuel rail. Connect a tyre gauge & turn the engine over. If it's not even turning over, check battery & starter cables, otherwise it's prossibly immobilised.


You could also try contacting @JohnM70 on here. According to LZIR Map he is on the IOW with some diagnostics.

If it's bought from a trader.. a business sale, then the law is on your side for the first 3 months. Only if you buy as a private sale from a member of the public is it 'sold as seen'

thank you to everyone who has tried to help me,i have a decision to make with how i go forward, all this just hasn't happened i expected some glitches its an old car, hardly used for a few years and would have sorted the problems out at this end with out bothering the dealer as its a long expensive distance, but a reasonably straight forward problem has turned sour and repeated e mails and calls dont get returned.i still like the car but will have to put my foot down
