Thank you so much for your great RR explanation video. It gives me another reason to purchase a great second hand Phantom of this era ❤. My very best regards from Austria!
Cheapest one is an all up together well serviced one. If you then use it weekly it shouldn't be too bad. I chose badly. But I wanted an early car and choice is limited.
@@hamishcruden7623 it’s helps. It has 2 massive batteries and I never used to charge it. But I’d get an odd fault come up. Since keeping it charged I haven’t had anything.
Have you tried it in a multi storey car park yet? I once watched two ladies trying to get into a space in a shopping centre car park. Me and the couple opposite both sat watching oark their Phantom. They did it , but the passenger gad to get out. Another good video Chris..
@@andysalter4473 I have, maybe I’ll see if I can get someone to film me. There a small own local to me. The ramps are tight. But I think it’ll be fine. The turning circle is really good on it. I’ll see what I can do for another video! Thanks for continuing to watch.
I am driving 🚘 20 plus year old Rolls_Royce and Bentley cars. That have never needed any thing done to their wheels. But then unlike today, the vehicles were made to last longer back then !...
@@alancrisp1582 it’s only the surround of the centre cap. I think the harsh wheel cleaner has affected it over time. It was owned by a funeral company so has been cleaned a lot, and probably not with the best products. Just needs a little TLC…. I hope!! Thanks for continuing to watch!
You were talking re. the " lift "switch and what that means when you got distracted by the missing chrome strip.Can you explain or show how that works. Thanks,🙃
Oh yes sorry. I'll show it in another video. It raises the car for rough or uneven surfaces. Much like a Range Rover. They are built for wealthy people the world over, and not everywhere has tarmac roads. It's handy sometimes... I guess also for the polo match too!! Sorry, I missed it. Thanks for the reminder. 👍
Thanks for your comment. Subscribe for more on the cost of ownership. But I have made this video, my first year's costs! th-cam.com/video/J05RHWiB7Ns/w-d-xo.html
The side repeater on mine was broken. It was one piece with the badge, however that’s no longer made so had to have both replaced and bodywork too to get them to match. Now I have separate badge and repeaters! Never ending! 😂 Thanks for watching!
@@ChrisEdworthy mine has the separate light and badge, but RR no longer stock these parts so I got new old stock from the parts people recommended on here. I take it they just prise out from the front?
You can imagine the cost of the wood panels in the Rolls Royce, when the largest wood panel in my Lexus (it is small compared to all the wood panels in this Rolls Royce) is in the territory of €1000 as a spare part!
Yes, I would think they would have to make new panels or if it was around the clock you may have to buy all the panels so they match. Big expense. But for 21 years old it's all in such good condition. Shows the quality.
@@eddyhenningsson3121 I’ve been in quite a few new Rolls and they still have the traditional way of laying it out. Less tech more luxury. I think it really enhances the feeling of it being something special. Even Spectre isn’t full of screens it’s a work of art. Thanks for watching, and commenting.
😱 Yes ,and so many modern electronics to go wrong !. By the time these new B.M.W designed and built cars are over 10 years old. There will be at least two ✌ or more warning ⚠ lights 🚥 showing.........
No not at all. More respectful looks, smiles and waves. The odd person jumps out and shouts that they love the car. I had a wraith, less love for that. But I think this looks like a Rolls as people have them in their head… is a special thing to see. Bentleys are everywhere, a Phantom is once in a while.
Not quite true. The first generation Ghost is the closest to that, but only shared about 20% of BMW parts and platform. That's not the case with the latest generation. There will be some parts sharing but it's such a different car, there's not too much crossover at all. Hence you can't easily repair one on the cheap. Thanks for watching.
I have been daily driving it, just shows they can be used and get dirty. I hope you liked the video. I'll be sure to clean it at the weekend. For a wonderfully clean Rolls take a look at this: th-cam.com/video/e0eAlY1LjG0/w-d-xo.html
That leather looks shiny - that’s years of body oil. Perhaps team up with a local detailer and do a detailing edition. The car will look awesome once properly cleaned.
That’s definitely on the list or a full recondition/connolising of the leather. It has some marks. But I was thinking a good clean first. Thanks for watching!
I have no idea but some of the skilled jobs must be hard to find the skill so can't see they would be paid minimum wage. They must be hard to replace. But who knows!! Thanks for watching... multiple videos! 👍
Other than a glitch the other evening it’s been fine. When the batteries were low it would throw up suspension faults or engine faults, but they cleared after turning the car off and back on. It seemed to be the first reading from some sensors weren’t read correctly if the car had been sat. The immediate restart allowed the car to have the information correctly. I now use a CTEK charger and it’s been fine for 3.5 years. Long may it continue!!
Thank you, good information
My pleasure, thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching, I’m glad you liked the video. I’ll be covering more on my Rolls over the coming months too.
Love you videos, would love a Rolls but the servicing scares me away from them! 😂

Brilliant video!
Thank you much appreciated!
Thank you for the tour of your beautiful Rolls-Royce. The craftmanship and attention to detail are exceptional.
@@dartanianrubanne3394 thanks for watching and your comment. Much appreciated!
Very cool trickle charging point...
@@hamishcruden7623 it’s helps. It has 2 massive batteries and I never used to charge it. But I’d get an odd fault come up. Since keeping it charged I haven’t had anything.
Thank you sir for providing me with the link . I have already subscribed to your channel
Much appreciated! I hope to bring you more content each week.
@@ChrisEdworthy my pleasure sir

Wheel works in Crawley are amazing for wheel refurbishment. May be worth asking them.
Thanks I’ll look them up. Much appreciated. Thanks for watching.

sound is all in the left channel again mate in the opening bit. later its all good
That’s really strange. Thanks I’ll check my audio. I thought I’d solved that problem!! Much appreciated!!

could you make a video about the rolls royce maintenance and costs please
Thanks for your comment. Subscribe for more on the cost of ownership. But I have made this video, my first year's costs!

While I can appreciate the craftsmanship I think pound for pound a £13000 Kia Picanto pound for pound is far more impressive
😂
Woodwork joins are called Bookmatching & Mascot is done by the Lost Wax method.
Wow, thanks. I'm going to Google the Lost Wax method now. See how that works. Thanks for the insight and for watching!
Here’s one for you. I’ve just replaced a side repeater light. £250 delivered without labour to fit 😮

When I look at reviews of the newest Rolls Royce, I didn't think it was so similar, tons of stuff on your car that are still in the newest ones. :-)

Do these get much unwanted attention on the road, like boy racers or white vans tailgating?
No not at all. More respectful looks, smiles and waves. The odd person jumps out and shouts that they love the car. I had a wraith, less love for that.

Under the surface all rolls Royce’s built since 2003 are BMW !

What a shame to have such a beatifull cart this durty.

You would be shocked at the low wages RR pay their staff .
After all its a Business run by the Germans

Chris please keep us viewers informed how many warning ⚠ lights 🚥 are now showing in your phantom now and in the future 🔮 !..
