For anyone looking I figured this one out.
The solder joint on the back of the tweeter in the passenger side a pillar cover was rubbing against the body of the car and grounding out.
A couple of pieces of carefully placed electrical tale have sorted the problem.

Last night my radio unexpectedly went silent. This morning all it is back to normal. We'll have a look at the pillar tweeters for a possible similar issue. Thank you for the heads up.
On a separate note seems like when one problem is fixed another pops up. Just replaced the right side turbo frequency valve most commonly referred to as N75. The Bentley goblins thanked me giving me this new project.🤔

Hooked up RT vcds, scanned head unit. Optical data bus communication error:00384. Fortunately the radio is at the moment functioning. Only a glitch? Not sure what to do next? Hopefully doesn't go silent again. Usually not the case with a Bentley.

Hello @1eapplebaum ,
I am not sure the year of your Bentley, but any 1st gen would only have one item that functions by way of fiber optics, and that is the NAV disc drive, there is only one pair of fiber optic lines in the vehicle, and this pair only runs between the Infotainment head unit and the NAV drive.

Hello Johnny,
Yes first generation, 2005. Well I don't use the nav system due to obsolescence. Perhaps disconnecting the nav sysyem if the radio problem reoccurs?
