@0:05 There is no cheap Bentley, mate. They are cheap because they need repairs and parts are crazy expensive as they are for an ultra luxury car.

Bought 2003 3.0 sport x350 with great history. Picked up in London then Belfast, Dublin, Cherbourg, Belgium, Germany, Czech Republic, Slovakia and finally Kyiv Ukraine at about 4k km. it never missed a beat. Now, in Kyiv, 4 new Michelin tyres, engine, g/box, rear axel service & oil/filters, cabin filter and engine oil leak resolved with wheel alignment and air suspension checked over. Then headliner removed, stripped, recovered, replaced. All this work cost less than what I was quoted in UK to recover the headliner 😂 result plus the x350 sport silver with cranberry leather is a real head turner in Kyiv as they are very rare

thanks, useful video with practical tips

Thx for this m8 Just changed mine

My same mount is leaking oil. Ive noticed i get clunking when changing gears will this fix this

We had a black 620gsi same wheels, very comfortable car.

Great Vid. Thank you

Can you confirm torque settings please

Get the 620 turbo

Great vid, will try later. Im getting a vibrate/humming sound from that area when the AC is on speed 3or 4 so hoping when it was service last week this was put in incorrectly. (Cant hear anything from tge engine bay)

No need to remove the wipers or scuttle panel, just remove the T30 screw and 10mm bolt at each end and lift the scuttle to access the 3 x 13mm bolts either side.

Ive got same mount leaking on my cmax ecoboost, looks exactly the same, no of bolts and location etc torque should be the same?

I put 300k on my 97.

Beautiful car. Too bad Rovers are quite rare here in Singapore even in the 90s and early 2000s, before the company closed down. I think all of them in Singapore have been scrapped by now.

i have a 2006 2.2 d4d with 750k km. stock engine

I always used to just push the piston back, watching out for overflow from reservoir of course, until a work colleague had done the job on his wife's car, and ended up with no brakes! He had had the bad luck of 'flipping' the seal in the master cylinder, apparently you also run the risk of wrecking the ABS modulator too. No such thing as a easy job! Great video.

I've got this car, and it has an oil leak. At 7:08 in this video, there is a grey cable in the bottom left hand corner of the screen. That has detached from the engine, and I'm not quite sure what it's for and how to reattach it. Can you offer me any advice please

Great video, I've ordered a disc and pad set for my Focus ST and I'm looking forward to fitting them.

Get lost with your tork measurements , simply not necessarily .

great video

I had a new 205 Junior in 1986 (D reg) - the 954cc petrol version. It was hideously basic, 4-speed and it was dog slow (only about 45bhp I think) but it was economical and 100% reliable in the 3yrs and 55k miles I had it for and a bit more interesting than its Fiesta, Nova or Metro rivals. I did get a rear-wiper for it which came with a new stalk

03:23, "With the sun shining" (I love the concept of shining sun by British standards...) Now back to the video.

We're all the bolts the same length. Or are there different sizes

I just bought a 2005 Vanden Plas (Canada), with a perfect body and interior (except for the saggy headliner), with only 47,234 miles on the clock. I paid £7000.00 which I think was fair price, but it does need an air-con evaporator and heater core. The right front suspension (followed by the left front) sags when temps dip below 0˚C. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the car, but I do wonder if I made a smart decision buying it. 🤔

Had the same problem sunroof drain hoses under dash Rovers poor quality hose fit water runs down soaking carpet front and back strip out everything in the car that carpet when soaked weighs a ton. Lucky for me it was summer 3 days to dry. Love these cars had 5 but my god so many problems from brake pipe corrosion, chassis corrosion, seels corroded, water leaks, the list is endless.

Skipping the fast forward of you putting the hub back on the shock tells me its gonna be a nightmare 😂 nice straight forward video mate, thankyou. Let you know how i get on

Simple and effective tutorial. Easy to follow and all the right advice ito torque specs and having to lift up the wheel hubs before tightening. Thanks this helped a lot!

Done all these 17 years. So easy!

Good video

I love my x350 super v8,my daily car as there aint owt else to replace it.modern jags just dont do it no more for me.

Very good, but where is the rest of the servicing videos on this car ?

I love old classic Bentley

Is that a Rallye 😂Genuine Rallyes are worth a small fortune these days

There is a metal wire between the headlight and the indicator light as well. If you used that and removed the headlight completely (headlight adjuster might need some convincing to release), you would have had much more room to work on removing the indicator. The new gear knob you made might be more reliable than a replacement, since he replacements seem to be of a similar material as the original ones, which disintegrate in time because of heat/cold cycles, fuel residue stuck on your hands after filling up, and/or skin grease. However, the replacement gearknobs seem to be quite available here in the Netherlands and reasonably priced. Might not hurt to have one shipped over there if you are in a pinch. Thanks for giving this 205 the love it deserves and keeping it on the road!

Love this!! ❤

Very good and interesting vid. Keep it up! Cheers from Spain 😉

The elephant in the room ............ FUEL COSTS!!!!

This car is really under rated. One has to drive one to really appreciate it

Auto? Get in the fucking sea.

Just wish I had the balls to buy one!

you forgot the most important thing: JOIN THE CLUB... THEN start looking for a car (usually from one of the other members).

Nice vid - enjoyed watching. A Neighbour had its predecessor, a Carina E until a couple of years ago and I found that a predictably comfortable motor to drive - very easy to live with. I'm sure that Avensis would make a nice daily. 👍

To answer some FAQs... .COST: Including the purchase of the car, all parts (new and used, bought from Flying Spares) and labour, the Turbo R owed us around £15,000. .FUEL ECONOMY: We managed 15MPG (18.8L/100KM or 12.5MPG US) on a run, as little as 6MPG (47L/100KM or 5MPG US) in town... .DIY: Every job on these cars - except hydraulics-related - can be done from home by the keen DIYer, just make sure you've got the hefty sockets and spanners the Bentley requires. COSTS: These cars are temptingly cheap, but brace yourself for expensive parts, hefty thirst and tyres that are £250+ EACH! If you're happy to spin spanners yourself, though, you can save a fortune in specialist labour.

You'd think the metal from RR would be more corrosion resistant

Would it be rude to ask how much you paid for the car.

Great vid/great car :D. Pro-tip (if you're using Vegas or similar to edit), right click on the footage on the timeline>properties>disable resample. And export as 1080p / 29.970 NTSC with Progressive scan (no interlacing). Should get rid of the ghosting and bad upscaling. Peace

A small oil leak is a good thing as it prevents corrosion.

Rwd stickshift vehicle! And it's nice. Looks like a fun swell car.

Can you do the same thing on a first or second year Tesla Model S? Those thihgs are monstrously impressive and kind of interesting. And, at least in the United States, used ones are getting less expensive, tempting!

A fixed portable motorola hehehe
