Engine Coolant Expansion Tanks
Air Cleaner
The injection system fitted to this car detects the level of air drawn into the
engine, and uses this information to control the fuel level. It is most important
that the airflow is not restricted. The air cleaner should be changed every
10,000 miles, or more frequently in dusty conditions or regular town use.
A Morgan Service Dealer should change the air filter element as it is only
accessible from underneath the vehicle. When replacing, use the correct
specification of element.
Spark Plugs
The spark plugs should be checked every 10,000 miles for the correct gap. The
electrode and body should be cleaned and examined for damage. If the plug
shows any sign of damage or deposits it must be replaced. When fitting new spark
plugs be sure only the correct specification is used and the gap correctly set.
Cooling System
The coolant expansion tanks and coolant systems are situated under the bonnet.
Under the left hand bonnet is the engine coolant circuit and under the right
hand bonnet is the low temperature intercooler circuit. Both coolant systems
should be filled to half way up the tank with HT-12 coolant and should be
inspected only when the engine is cool. It is essential that the engine is supplied
with sufficient water/HT-12 mixture at all times. In an engine of this type, HT-12
must be present in the water at all times. HT-12 should be kept at a minimum
of 50
%
by volume.
WARNING Only remove the coolant filler cap when the engine is cool,
otherwise the escaping steam and boiling water may cause serious
scalding and injury.
WARNING Coolant fluids are dangerous; keep out of reach of children.
Swallowing coolant may damage health resulting in death or serious
damage to the body.
Whenever the car is serviced and periodically between these times, the coolant
must be checked. At the same time it is recommended that all the hose clips
and hoses be examined for tightness and damage. Any persistent loss of
coolant should be indicated to a Morgan service agent at the earliest opportunity.
NOTICE: When the expansion tank is filled above half, water would be
discharged through the clear overflow pipe on the neck of the expansion tank
when the engine is hot.
