Cheers for the tip garak. We'll see what happens.
Hopefully going to spend a little time on Sunday morning doing a few jobs. One of them is putting eyes on the damned cruise control ECU - this is shown in different places on different drawings, but I think I now have a definitive location for it. I say 'think' - wouldn't be the first time I went looking for a component and found it in a different location to where it should be....
Oh, by the way - we had a small disaster the other day. Rear end wouldn't come up properly and brakes weren't really there. Guess the bleeding of the hydraulics after the rear strut change wasn't exactly exhaustive, eh? Seems to be sorted now, though there's probably still some air in the system somewhere (these cars have three million bleed points, it's like you're trying to bleed the central heating on a house the size of Buckingham Palace). Then the passenger seat electrics appeared to pack in, but a reset of the system sorted that - you tap 'MEM' five times, then the sequence 4 - 3 - 3 - 4 on the memory selection buttons. Not sure why it quit - I had the power off to the car the other day when I had the doors open a long time to re-fit the trim, but the drivers seat didn't pack in - but at least it was a free fix. Gary has had the new front tyres fitted as well, so at least we aren't trying to steer using ancient Goodyears with all the lateral grip of teflon-on-teflon. Tracking was sorted again at the same time (wasn't
that far out, but these tyres are too bloody expensive to have it anything other than perfect). She's driving really well apparently. Engine is perfect, ride is good, brakes stop you on a sixpence....she's a Bentley again.
As fun as it's been for the most part, I can't wait for Project Bentley to end and get to merely maintaining the car rather than fixing it
