Changing a Wheel
Wheels should be changed at a Morgan dealership where the vehicle can be raised
using specialist equipment.
In an emergency, a jack may be used to raise the vehicle sufficiently to clear a
trapped obstacle from underneath. See ‘LIFTING THE VEHICLE.’
Flat Tyre (Emergency Tyre Repair)
In the event of sustaining a flat tyre, contact your nearest Morgan dealer or a
vehicle recovery company. If your vehicle carries a puncture repair kit, follow the
instructions with the kit.
MAIN FUSE BOX
Replacing Fuses
The main fusebox is located behind the passenger footrest at the end of the
footwell. To access the main fuse box, locate the top edge of the carpet trim
and pull it free folding the carpet back into the footwell. Behind the carpet is
an aluminium plate secured by two fasteners. The fuse box is behind this plate.
Release the fasteners and lift the plate up to clear the locating tab at its base. Use
the fuse layout schematic below to identify a blown fuse, pull it out and replace
it with a spare fuse of the same rating.
WARNING
Never make modifications or additions to the electrical circuit
or components on your Morgan Plus Four. Carefully replace blown fuses.
See table on the rear of the lid for the main fusebox for correct fuse rating
for each circuit.
WARNING
Working with electricity is dangerous unless conducted
by an expert.
BATTERY
The Morgan Plus Four uses a “maintenance free” battery which is located under
the bonnet on the passenger side of the vehicle. If the battery is required to
be removed from the vehicle this should normally be performed by a Morgan
dealer. Whenever the battery requires removal/refitting, the terminals should be
cleaned and covered in petroleum jelly.
The battery will discharge gradually if the vehicle is not used. If the vehicle is left
standing for more than 2 weeks then it is advised that a battery conditioner is
used to maintain the battery correctly. If a battery is allowed to discharge fully
this will damage the battery leading to failure and this will not be covered on the
vehicle’s warranty.
