The IETIS for the old car was a disk which I installed -can't remember where I got it from, but might have been eBay. See if you can do anything with this disk image https://1drv.ms/u/s!AlkxjpoGP6fehfgMG5-4O2kfKalWeQ

Go to Bavarian Motors in Hawthorne. Nick services my Bentley but charges me VW prices. He’s great and knows how to work on them all. Tell him Ed sent you.

Kind regards,

I’ve bought a 2005 cont gt and it’s got quite a few faults. Sorted some, boot spare wheel bay had its own swimming pool, someone had pushed the 2 rubber seals for drain holes to rear spoiler to put 3 pull ties there to hold wiring up ???? Reseated abs sealed them then I noticed damp carpet under pedals, researched it and there’s a drain hole below fan motors that blocks up with leaves, it was this, the blockage had caused another pool to form leaking into footwell. This has caused damage to ECUs as they were shorting and throwing error codes left right n centre, one ecu was changed, wiring was load tested (all good) but someone had previously changed one of the throttle bodies and this was throwing out massive varied volts which caused damage to ecu, new ecu fitted and then within mins the second ecu went down so garage have removed ecus and hopefully my replacement ones should have been cloned and at garage ready for fitting, just unlucky due to time of year, (Xmas n new year) the only mechanic qualified to work on my bentley is on Xmas holiday for 2 weeks so I’m spewing car has now been off road since start November but this has given me time to start fitting all my body kit. Need advice on front and rear bumper removal if you have any top tips pal. My email is duncan.brown12345@gmail.com my mobile is 07516380479
many thanks and have a top Xmas n new year

Should have seen my neighbours faces when I started taking an angle grinder to the bonnet of my conti gt to fit the vents!! Lol

I am an avid Bentley fan, and hope to own one in the near future. However, I want to know more about DIY maintenance on those wonderful cars, before I take the plunge.

Please let me know if I have made any errors, or if you have more to add. I hope this may stimulate Bentley owners to contribute.

A question of vacuum - I have just purchased a 2006 GT which has had the exhaust bypass flaps disconnected and is very noisy indeed. The flaps were also wedged open with body filler just to be double sure that they wouldn't close. I am keen to get the flaps moving again if I can, so I cleaned them up mechanically so that they both move OK. I then checked the vacuum units were holding vacuum, which they are, and I reconnected them. Quick as a flash, nothing happened! There doesn't appear to be enough vacuum in the system to close the flaps.

I disconnected the vacuum system under the rear of the car, at the non-return valve before it splits out to the 2 vacuum reservoirs and solenoids, and connected the front end pipe directly to one of the flap actuators, but still not enough vacuum to close a flap (although there is a slight vacuum in the pipe). So it appears that I have a leak somewhere, or an obstruction in the vacuum pipe.

Does anyone have a schematic they could share showing where the vacuum pipes run underneath the car, and in particular, where the exhaust flap vac pipe is connected to the front end of the system - I need to chase the pipework forwards to work out what the problem is, but it's not clear to me where the pipework is connected.
