Maintenance Checks
In this section will be found information necessary to maintain the car in good
mechanical condition in a temperate climate. Details of the intervals of service
may be found in the schedule at the back of this book. The time between
examinations is dependent on many things, particularly the type of use and the
road conditions. In dusty, extreme, or arduous conditions, the time between
services must be reduced. If a car is not in use for long periods the need for
regular attention is as great as for a vehicle in everyday use. The following
details, along with services from a Morgan distributor or dealer, will help to
prolong the life and enjoyment of the car.
