Hi all,

I've literally just joined this forum as I'm currently seeking help for a poor bentley flying spur speed 2008 that has been left to reside on my driveway, I would really appreciate any help or advice.
basically the owner of the car died and was left to my female (not car oriented) cousin, it was her husband that died, the car sat on her driveway for many months untouched which led to all batteries dying, I eventually managed to get into the car and charge it enough to start the car.
she then took the car for its uk mot, it passed. Then off to the local bodyshop for some dents to be sorted out. Now the problems begin

To cut a long story short it seems that the scuttle panel under the wipers were full of leaves and water, the fuse box was apparently full of water and when the bodyshop lifted the front end the problems began,
the car wouldnt run, so now I have a half finished bentley that won't start on my driveway.
it has apparently had a new kessy unit fitted at the bodyshop and the radio in the car seems to acknowledge this, however there are no ignition lights which means there is no way of starting or trying to start the car. I have charged both batteries up and left them on trickle charge, is there anybody who can diagnose this problem? Apparently bentley sell a splice loom?

any help would be much appreciated as I would love to put it right for my cousin

cheers

 

Sorry, I am based near Saddleworth (North West) I am mechanically minded as I normally restore older cars,
if anybody is local to me and thinks they could help it would be much appreciated

Cheers
