Nearly pulled the trigger on a ‘16 plate version but realised I need to learn more about these beauties before doing so. Great content mate, really appreciated.
Nice one, only wish I had this video when I owned my 2005 model…. Advice for any potential buyers, go for a 2007 onwards they had sorted these drains by then 😉
@philboyce1582 sadly they didn't as far as I know Phil, I know they re-routed the vac lines and so on. Oddly enough I was working through the workshop manual tonight and in the section for drain channels they only mentioned boot and doors. Nadal about scuttles! Crazy :)
@@BentleyOnABudget-mp8jj yes the scuttle is the problem one, that’s the one they changed. Fortunately i only ever drove mine in good weather and it was always garaged…..had it for 6 years best car I ever had……switched to a 5.0 Jaguar xk x150 a lot cheaper to run and plenty you can do yourself and a great car also…..I will keep watching love the content 😉
@philboyce1582 thanks Phil, every day's a school day :) that must be why it's not in the workshop manual then eh? Thought it was odd. Thank you very much :)
THANKS PAUL , IVE JUST SPENT OVER £3,000 FOR A REPLACEMENT KESSY UNIT FOR THIS VERY PROBLEM , DRAIN HOLES BLOCKED , BECAUSE THE KESSY UNIT IS NOT PLUG AND PLAY YOU HAVE TO HAVE A BENTLEY GENUINE ONE WHICH IS £1,700 PLUS VAT , WHICH HAS TO BE PROGRAMED TO THE CHASSIS NUMBER OF THE CAR ! ! ABSOLUTE RIP OFF , I NOW KNOW WHAT TO KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR , REGARDS KEEP UP THE GOOD TIPS .
Hi Dave sorry to hear that, yes absolute fortune! If it makes you feel any better i was talking to a chap yesterday who just spent £1500 on a volve wing mirror! Glad you got sorted though, just go for a drive, always cheers me up. Nige :)
Thanks, my GTC is in Spain and I have a feeling that this is a very rare problem since on its last service I asked for them to check ( Bentley main dealer) and they did not seem to understand what I wanted.
Looks like I got my first dislike today - thanks for your candour! If you don't like what I'm doing then please comment below and let me know how, or if, I can do it better. I'd be very grateful for any constructive feedback because I want to get better at this stuff. Thank you :)
@samlees783 Hi Sam, you really need to scan for faults. There are too many possibilities here mate. Get set up with VCDS from Ross-Tech for around £200. It'll pay for itself in no time at all. I have a couple of videos on this channel about it and if you subscribe with alerts I'll be doing more soon.
@samlees783 Hi Sam, I've replied to this once but seems like it hasn't gone up. Check out my vcds videos. There could be multiple reasons for this and only a scan will tell you for sure :)

Thanks Paul I will get round to doing this before winter comes.
Thanks again Paul for taking time out to do these tutorials, they really are a big help! Keep up the good work and it’s a thumbs up from me 👍

How do you make the custom piece to attach to vaccum. What parts exactly sizes do i need to make it
@@Neo-k8n there's another video linked at the end of this one that shows exactly how :)
Can anyone help me, my Bentley flying spur, starts and then just cuts out, sometimes it just turns over and does not start. Any advise ?
