Have you tried just unhooking the +/positive cable of the batteries (both driver and passenger side), waiting 5 minutes and then hooking them back up?

Congrats on your purchase!

All British cars seem to suffer from electrical gremlins, it's quite common with Range Rovers as you probably know. On my CGT test drive the driver's window did a 30 second up and down dance, but hasn't done it since.

I still bought it

Is this your first Continental GT Bentley?

Nice to own a car with some provenance like the Jules Holland one. I remember seeing Ringo's 1984 190E expected to sell for GBP5000-6000 back in 2004, and for that price I would have bid. Don't know what it eventually went for.

enjoy said it, but I had a freak out of my console and all I did was disconnect the battery (against the Bentley mech wishs) and it worked just fine since.

The one under the driver's steering wheel is a bit hard to find. Just carefully keep reaching under the center, at the very bottom and eventually you will feel/find it.
