Erm what they actually like morspeed if you pop down every now and then to see how the engines going ?

[jkjaxor]

id like to add my bit to the story,
recently my dad bought some bits from morspeed, they were supposed to come just before my bday as a present, after many calls and hasselings we did get the parts, from what i have seen it seems like the guys there arnt to bothered in sending parts off or dont have everyting in stock that they say they have,

Considering the contentious subject matter can we please leave the topic for those who have actually had dealings, good or bad, with Morspeed to give an honest account of their experiences.

Sorry about the quallity of the picture, but you can pritty much see between bore one and two not only has the gasget gone but a chunk of the block around 3mm deep had blown out aswell.
This was a morspeed fast thou complete engine/gearbox that my friend got around 2 years ago it decided to go pop in this manor in the middle of a mini run. around 3months after he put it in.
Since it took him quite a lot of effort to get the engine from morspeed, he decided not to bother sending it back or even telling them about it. Instead he has abandoned his mini at the bottom of his garden for over a year now.

Has anyone ever seen this before on a thou? He never got a spec of the engine from morspeed so have no idea what C/R it was running or what cam. All he knows was that it was fully set up on rolling road and reached 65bhp.

Well i've got abit of genuine feedback for morspeed

and its positive!

I ordered a phase 3 cam kit through ant here on the forum, he put my order through and I received it a couple of weeks later.

I had good contact with him, got replys to my emails and queries about the cam and things and it all went smoothly.


I have to say, i would be happy to use morspeed again.

A local lad to me, tried to ring to order a MSPD PH3 camshaft. He tried for a week and gave up, in the end buying a Kent cam direct. It was delivered in days.

Unfortunately not all customers will know they need internet access, a TMF account and to PM Ant on here to order a camshaft......

Well i can't comment on that, as i've never needed/tried to ring morspeed. I'm just going off my experiance.

[CMcB]

dont worry it's just Jordie having another unnecessary dig. As mentioned before the TMF team/admin/mods should not be putting across biased opinions.

[Jordie]

Its not a dig and I am trying to put across that potential customers should not have to join TMF and PM the employee of the company to make an order!

trying to order a cam since i posted here

im sick of hearing that damn answer machine! anyone know the best time to ring to actually get through?

couldn't get through to morspeed in the end, bought a 649 off minispares instead. sorted, they dont answer the damn phone then they dont get my money, if i had to listen to 'your call cannot be taken at the moment....' on more time id kill someone!

PS. Although Im a moderator, I am still a person and have been a good member of this forum for over 5yrs now, so I will pass on the information I know as it is not biased. It is factual.

[CMcB]

it is a dig, it is you pushing your own views after someone has posted something positive. You are in a position of authority on this forum and should be monitoring this delicate situation and ensuring its objectivity, not pushing your own views or that of a third party. If your local lad friend had a poor experience he should post it himself.

Calm down lady's, maybe try a chill pill.

Just for those that were threatened with court action. I found out yesterday that Mander Cruickshank Solicitors are no longer representing Simon Morson. They also informed us that they have never sent any personal messages, and the only correspondance they have sent out on Simon Morson's behalf was to Carol (Oli's Mum), and a letter to myself as admin of The Mini Forum.


Now, I would like to ask a favour. Carol's court hearing should be coming up soon. From what I have heard neither Simon or his solicitors have been helpful or even compliant in the run up to court date. May I ask for everyone who has had negative dealings with Morspeed to email [email protected] with details of those dealings, keeping it entirely factual. Things like copies of receipts, bank statements (with sensitive data blanked out obviously), emails, letters, etc will all be very helpful. Please do all you can in order to help Carol through this very difficult time. I've spoke with her a couple of times very recently and I feel she's been quite drained by this whole experience.

Thanks should go to MED however who have kindly offered to complete the engine that Oli, Prawn and Carol should have got.

Sorry, but I've got to pick up on this. Because we're moderators we're not allowed to express our opinions?

Opinions - no

Personal factual experiences - yes
