This car was in jax for at least 3 years. I remember seeing it sitting and wondering if they'd ever sell it. I'm glad you got it. Can't wait to see what happens
@@WatchJRGo definitely seems longer than that since the first time I saw it. If I remember correctly I saw it first in 2019 when I was headed to my new job, and when it sat for just a few months I was asking myself what could possibly be wrong with it and why they would just let it sit.
@@WatchJRGo but I will say we moved offices last year around August so I haven't driven by there in a little over a year so it is possible that someone else purchased this from where I had seen it last year and it stayed in Jacksonville and they just did nothing with it.
JR, you know once you get it running, you'll just have to get Jake dressed up with a chauffeur's hat, and have him drive you about. Good luck with this project.
@@notaffiliatedwith7363 you can by a box with 200 little ketchup packets of Grey Poupon for about $30. That would be money well spent, because you know everyone is going to ask you for it.
This is great! I’m in a British project myself.. flooded Aston Martin DB9 Volante, “bent rods” took it apart, 1 broken rod. Replaced it, putting engine back in the car this weekend. Stoked for a Bentley. I have coined my Aston project “Treating a 200k supercar like a $500 shitbox” it’s great!
The privacy handset is so you can take a call over the cars system and have the conversation be private as it disables the car speakers and sends the call to the privacy handset. The major grenade on all Bentleys from 04 to late 07 is they route the vacuum lines over the trans which is prone to heat and splitting the rubber. Its an engine out procedure to convert them to steel lines that wont fail.
@@WatchJRGo The theory is that car would come with a driver and the owner could blab MK Ultra stuff without Geeves listening in. Now days its only useful to talk to your side chick while racking up another cell phone bill because the cops took your burner phone....or so Ive been told.
@@lear60man I seem to remember Car and Driver mentioning that feature back in the day. Not the burner phone but the amplified talking system so you didn't have to raise your voice to talk to the backseat occupants.
Issues was rectified in early 06. All cars built before April 06 will have this issue, after that they rerouted the pipes. It's not an age thing, it's amount of heat cycles on the pipes. I've seen cars with 100,000 miles without issues and cars with 15,000 miles on 2 new sets of vac pipes. There is an easy test to check by putting a smoke machine on the system from the canister, driver's side front wheel arch, behind the arch liner.
A little tip.....these have two batteries. The big one on the Dr side, and another one hidden in the passenger side. When the Dr battery goes dead(and it will in about a week of sitting) you can activate the pass side battery by turning the ignition key to the left for a few seconds. Also try just replacing the batteries in the fobs. I think they're just 2032s. There are a lot of bolt in maxifuses near the batteries I'd check those all first if you've got a no crank issue happening. Best of luck man. They suck so bad to work on but they sure do drive nice when everything works.
Nice find!!!! I Actually was in a 2023 Bentley flying spur last night. My buddy designs for Vw and this is the loaner car he gets for two months and I don’t know if I’m getting older but I fell in love with it. Can’t wait to see how you bring it back to life and the luxury you’re going to live in. Let your friends drive you around and you sit in the back that was the most comfortable.
First thing I’d check with key issues is the KESSY. Should be under the drivers carpet. Common for sunroof drain leaks or the wiper cowl drains getting clogged and overflowing into the driver footwell and taking that module out. I’ve bought a Phaeton and an A8 with key issues. Both times were wet KESSY modules. Buy a used one on eBay with your same part number, desolder the 8 pin immobilizer chip in yours, and solder it in the replacement module.
In the last video, he said he didn't want to get the tools to fix the timing and whatever else had been screwed up, so he was going to sell it. Did that change or are you being sarcastic?
I have to say, your enthusiam is so infectious (a testimony given all the You Tube non sence/keyboard warriors and trolls). After all these years, it is still an absolute delight to watch your videos. Best wishes from the UK.
The Bentley is one of the most elegant cars on the market. It exudes style and luxury. Its also a perfect example of too much custom tech in too small a space. It's a garage queen, lovely to sit in, but utterly unreliable and almost unmaintainable. The engine is a testament to German engineering excess, a nightmare of maintenance inaccessibility and parts unavailability. I laffed out loud when you got excited that the air suspension actually sort of worked eventually. Imagine being dependent on a Rubegoldbergian contraption of electrical, mechanical, pneumatic and computer systems just to keep your bumpers off the pavement. Great project to entertain the interwebbs with thou. Can't wait to see what happens next.
And just like that we all forgot about the Jaguar. Im happy to see you are going to set time again, but this Bently is going to be your greatest project so far. Thanks for everything.
No one forgot the Jaguar. He made his decision, so what can the viewer do. Working on the Jaguar is like a 1966 VW Beatle next to this Bentley. Both were/are challenges up JR's alley. He says at least he can junk the Bentley when it gets B.A.D. & recovery some if not most of the loss. The Jaguar was slightly more attainable to most dreamers, within a solar system of possibility. The Bentley, it's a rich person's old toy.
@@sleepyhollow783 Dude, all I was saying was that this Bently is an awesome project. I was not actually implying the jag has been forgotten. Thanks for trying to explain my post to me.
I haven't forgotten. I remember a time when JR used to actually repair cars instead of just polishing them up and flipping them for a profit. What's he going to do when he finds out how difficult the air suspension on this Bentley is going to be? Dump the Bentley and look for a nice Yugo that needs a paint correction I guess.
For the bumpers make sure you look aftermarket for the front which actually gets rid of the orange side marker. And it seems you have all the pieces. Honesty the car should run fine. If the vacuum lines are taken care of in the back of the engine and beside the transmission. Get them redone and you are pretty good. The w12 is actually very reliable.
I worked in R&D/Masses & Dimensions at Bentley when the BY611 Spur was developed. Not a fan of the W12 myself; kinda over-refined and sounds like two Triumph triples passive-aggressively arguing in mutters, but it does pack quite a punch. Weight distribution is very front-biased (although rather better in that respect than the BY614 Conti GT) and the steering is a little numb so I found the whole package rather uninspiring. Check the electronics compartment under the carpet in a front footwell (can’t remember which one on LHD); if any seal fails it can fill with water and cause many interesting symptoms. Good luck!
Those engines are mechanically pretty tough, it's just a nightmare to access anything and the electronics let it down. I'll bet you need a kessy module - the keyless start and entry unit. Very common failure point. The Bluetooth phone used RSAP which only works on some phones, Samsungs do it generally. The handset in the car then lets you use it like a normal phone for privacy. Beautiful car, good luck!
Can't wait to see the Bentley up & running just so your dad can drive it like he drove the jaguar, also Matt Armstrong did one of these & found that a lot of parts were far cheaper from the dealer than they was on eBay or breakers yards he also said that he regrets selling it
The black Jag and the Bentley, best cars you've ever had! Looking forward to this one! Keep it for the perfect daily driver! Beautiful! I love 4 door performance and luxury as well, try a Panamera S or GTS sometime...phenomenal, Love mine.
JR, if you’re ever in Northwest Arkansas again - since that’s where you got the Saturn Sky - stop in Gentry at the Little Debbie plant’s factory store. You’ll find things there that you normally wouldn’t find in stores. And they’re factory fresh… 😂
BMW W12 Engine but VW. Reminds so much of my 05 VW Tourage. The majority of parts inside that care share the same parts the VW Torage has. The reason the key is stuck is because of battery loss. The key might not release because the car will have electrical issues. Don't close the trunk. You won't be able to open it. There is a manual release in the key hole with a paper clip.
FYI I got rid of my VW torage because the key issue. To get the system working you need new modules, keys and the key mechanical system where the key goes into. Also the steering wheel lock. They are all paid together with the engine emobilizor permanently. You can't replace only one module you have to do the entire system.
You looked so happy A kid in a candy store With Christmas ornaments Your dad was impress until he heard the price lol I am sure you will get it going and sell it eventually for a profit Enjoy it you have great taste in cars And I know you all do it for us the viewers Thank you for your hard work Your buddy from Canada
Fellow salvage flying spur owner. Check the other battery there's a tiny one on the opposite side of the boot (trunk) that's responsible for starting. Even if the big one is totally dead it will start off the little one however if the little one is dead you will have issues.
John Ross I like many have watched your channel over a good few years. Where did you amass your knowledge on having the confidence and knowhow to work on all these different models of vehicle. I can imagine your Dad was a big help?
Cross stiched diamond seats means its an upgraded package like Mulliner, regular seats werent diamond. You paid basically the price of the Mulliner package for the whole car. Ive always wanted one of these. Im not saying you're peaking but this is incredible content.
Going to be a cool rebuild. I’m really digging the new downsized JR. Getting back to your roots. But, it’ll also be cool to see what you come up with for a new shop.
These are so cool. For a number of years it was the fastest sedan in the world. I remember when it was launched and Motor Trend did a pair of articles, one about driving a development mule through Africa and then another driving a production car across Europe at 315Km/h (or 195MPH)
I belive these have 2 batteries one for electronics and one for starting. If you turn the key to the left it'll switch the battery source and try to start from the other battery.
Another of my favorite channels “Salvage Rebuilds UK” had a Bentley with key/immobilizer/no start issues. Probably worth a watch. Took a while and a guy with very specialized knowledge however …
This is crazyyy, I saw the car on WCC and thought about tagging you in the post, as I wanted to see you work on it and bammm!!! My bday wishes are answered!!!
I hope you have a Ross-Tech VCDS I don't think the Autel will cut it on a Bentley, in fact I've yet to find a scanner for VW Group cars that works as well. If you don't have one, get one ASAP, best money I spent when I dealt with Audi's and other VW's.
In case you need to replace the front struts on the Bentley, Rebuild Master Tech was able to supply refurbished OEM air struts for my 2016 Equus at very low cost. Who knows? They may have what you need for your car.
I say keep on with the Jag, you are almost there , it has all the new timeing parts in there ,cant see a problem myself it may even drive as nice as the Bentley!
I was really excited when you said you brought this for me. I can hardly wait for you to drive up to give me my first ride. All my neighbors will be impressed and after they think about it since they're not riding they will be depressed. Thank you very much!
The key stuck in the ignition issue is also a vw issue bro I wiggle the shit out of mine sometimes to get it out, you have a failing ignition switch module that doesn’t turn properly
My friend in his Q50S raced a Bentley continental GT on lower Wacker in Chicago and he put like 3 car lengths on one like this and caught it all on dashcam.. actually seemed a bit newer
How does an engine seize??? My dad has a 97 BMW 750il..it sat for 19 years..I had to put in a new fuel pump but it started right up..altho I will say my dad changed the cars oil before it was put away...but how does the engine seize??? I'm really curious as to how that happens
One of your best cars to date WatchJRGo . . . Love the color scheme of the interior especially. I have a 2004 Arnage T, so welcome to the Bentley hooptie sedan club!
I’ve been fighting temptation to buy an Arnage T for years. My absolute favorite Bentley design by a long shot. Better judgment says “no” but, maybe one day I’ll break and trade up from my Jaguar Super V8.
Was it the Jag videos that you had the Jag clock spinning so fast when it was getting set? You need to edit that clip in anytime you skip filming and jump to the future. It would be so rad.
I think our fathers must have known each other. I was so proud when I got a used Jaguar XJ6 Vanden Plas for $1100.00 living in Las Vegas. When my dad arrived weeks later I said just look in it and see how clean it is an everything works. (everything worked in a older Jaguar 4 door with over 200,000k on the odometer) He opened the door, looked in politely, gave a odd smile and said, Ohh, Ok.: To this day I never saw that look again until today on your dads face. They couldn't be rude to their sons, but don't push it overboard either. "Ohhh ok."
The handset serves as an privacy handset if a call comes in on a connected mobile phone and a passenger wants to take the call off handsfree. The problem with the older bentleys is the Bluetooth isn't compatible with the current phones so to get it to work you will need to find a Bluetooth adapter kit.
WowJR beautiful Ride 💯. I wonder what the sticker price was? on that bad boy. I would hate to work on the engine. Hoovie & tavarish had that G.T . Hopefully you can fix the powertrain on that bad boy 🔥🔥🚘. Wow that's a beautiful car 🤘Salute 😎
It'll be some car when it's up and running but (there's always a but) it's going to have its challenges. Going to pull up a chair and watch with great interest. Good luck and I hope you win more battles than you lose.
You should be able to source many parts from VW (Phaeton) for much less. The broken rear trunklid is most likely a broken wire harness in the trunklid. You need a diagnosis tool like VCDS - you have many many control units in this one…
Hey JR watch Matt Armstrong, He restored one...Will give you great Ideas how to save money on fixing it. High fives from London UK. Glad you are Keeping the Jag!
Are you going to completely fix this up or just do the minimum required to get it running and then get rid of it? It would be nice to see it restored all the way, or at least all the way that you can go.
JR is always so psyched at even the most minor good news ["the ashtray works!!!"] but I can't help wondering if this bucket 'o bolts will ever actually drive. Good luck, though.
W12 - a VW motor that's not real easy to work on - to be sure. This seems like it may be another R8 adventure. I hope it works out well for you. Back in the day, the essential difference between a Rolls Royce and a Bentley was that the Rolls Royce came with a chauffeur. Bentleys are set up for the OWNER to drive them. I'm looking forward to WATCHING JR GO all over the country in his sweet whip in one epic road trip.
What ever happened with the Rolls-Royce with the LS swap? Did you ever fix it or did you just move it onto someone else? I seem to recall the car had a majorly broken rear suspension of driveshaft from when you tried to do burnouts at some event.

Went from buying a farm with a few problems to buy a Bentley with a ton of problems. Hoovie must be so proud.

First thing I’d check with key issues is the KESSY. Should be under the drivers carpet.

That's some next level repair good on you for soldering on a board. Happen to know where to get a module fixed? need one repaired for an S2000

@@h7pubg 100% agree
I think it was a space issue. Limited space and had to keep turning out content. Great medium ground. New project and all. Lol
I was really excited when you said you brought this for me. I can hardly wait for you to drive up to give me my first ride. All my neighbors will be impressed and after they think about it since they're not riding they will be depressed. Thank you very much!
Bring this one back to life. It is so cool.
The key stuck in the ignition issue is also a vw issue bro I wiggle the shit out of mine sometimes to get it out, you have a failing ignition switch module that doesn’t turn properly
Is the side glass starting to delaminate?
Yeah 😥
Those wheels are super clean especially with the green. Subscribed to see how it goes
For that money and that epic interior it's worth just having it as a static sitting room.
My friend in his Q50S raced a Bentley continental GT on lower Wacker in Chicago and he put like 3 car lengths on one like this and caught it all on dashcam.. actually seemed a bit newer
not even close to the same leagues of cars
Were they chased by approximately 200 Dodge Monaco police cars, driving through the mall to escape?
@@tehfalcon never claimed to be which in my opinion is why I think it's rather impressive.
There is an 06 flying spur for sale on marketplace in Mn with a rebuilt engine and trans for 12k$ right now, your video makes me want to buy it
How does an engine seize??? My dad has a 97 BMW 750il..it sat for 19 years..I had to put in a new fuel pump but it started right up..altho I will say my dad changed the cars oil before it was put away...but how does the engine seize??? I'm really curious as to how that happens
Internal engine failure can seize it.
They build these 12 miles from me in the UK . You see a lot of those on test drives around the countryside near the factory
JR has officially entered crazy town. I’ve yet to see a Bentley restoration/fix video go well.
One of your best cars to date WatchJRGo . . . Love the color scheme of the interior especially. I have a 2004 Arnage T, so welcome to the Bentley hooptie sedan club!
I’ve been fighting temptation to buy an Arnage T for years.
My absolute favorite Bentley design by a long shot.
Better judgment says “no” but, maybe one day I’ll break and trade up from my Jaguar Super V8.
Dude the colors are awesome!! Nice car bro
Plug VCDS into it and see what pops up .
Don't forget it has 2 batteries one is the main systems battery and the other is the starter battery
You are a very very brave man to be buying this. Looking forward to watching the arm wrestle between you and the big B.
I would love those seats in my Toyota Highlander!! It's not my type of car, but I appreciate it and look forward to seeing you fix it.
Sounds like another newer version of the Rolls, cool, watching now 👍
Was it the Jag videos that you had the Jag clock spinning so fast when it was getting set? You need to edit that clip in anytime you skip filming and jump to the future. It would be so rad.
I think our fathers must have known each other. I was so proud when I got a used Jaguar XJ6 Vanden Plas for $1100.00 living in Las Vegas. When my dad arrived weeks later I said just look in it and see how clean it is an everything works. (everything worked in a older Jaguar 4 door with over 200,000k on the odometer) He opened the door, looked in politely, gave a odd smile and said, Ohh, Ok.: To this day I never saw that look again until today on your dads face. They couldn't be rude to their sons, but don't push it overboard either. "Ohhh ok."
The handset serves as an privacy handset if a call comes in on a connected mobile phone and a passenger wants to take the call off handsfree. The problem with the older bentleys is the Bluetooth isn't compatible with the current phones so to get it to work you will need to find a Bluetooth adapter kit.
WowJR beautiful Ride 💯. I wonder what the sticker price was? on that bad boy. I would hate to work on the engine. Hoovie & tavarish had that G.T . Hopefully you can fix the powertrain on that bad boy 🔥🔥🚘. Wow that's a beautiful car 🤘Salute 😎
drone shots are amazing. I like the building to, build one just like it
If it ends up needing level sensors for the suspension do NOT go aftermarket. They all fail and I see them in the shop constantly
It'll be some car when it's up and running but (there's always a but) it's going to have its challenges. Going to pull up a chair and watch with great interest. Good luck and I hope you win more battles than you lose.
Super sick car man!! I’m in love with it also!! Stoked to see how it pans out. Congratulations and good luck 🍀
1000 dollars in shipping from florida to wichita is a steal. Something similar distance in europe would be closer to 5 grand
Would these be impossible to engine swap and retain some of the features?
Do you have the transportation guys number or info to get a car towed
You should be able to source many parts from VW (Phaeton) for much less. The broken rear trunklid is most likely a broken wire harness in the trunklid. You need a diagnosis tool like VCDS - you have many many control units in this one…
Huge gamble and beautiful worthy of being art. Thanks for the review of the car, luxury and expense. Thanks
Hey JR watch Matt Armstrong, He restored one...Will give you great Ideas how to save money on fixing it. High fives from London UK. Glad you are Keeping the Jag!
This will definitely be an interesting project! i’m so excited. there were 2 of around the same for sale by me in MN for low 20s that were so broken.
If they ran they're doing better than mine! 😂
@@WatchJRGo One was parked in a field and the other had 1 picture 😂
@@WatchJRGo the colour is called British racing green.
I'm sure Hoovie you can answer any Bentley questions you may have. He spent enough money on them
Wish you the best I remember seeing this car sitting for years outside of jax
Please don't let this be your transition moment to Hoovieland. Your everyday guy content is perfect.
Are you going to completely fix this up or just do the minimum required to get it running and then get rid of it? It would be nice to see it restored all the way, or at least all the way that you can go.
We'll see, after it runs it just needs bumpers 🍻
@@WatchJRGo yeah but the jag…..
How do you like the new Apple watch pro? Thinking about getting one wondering if it's worth the $700 price tag
JR is always so psyched at even the most minor good news ["the ashtray works!!!"] but I can't help wondering if this bucket 'o bolts will ever actually drive. Good luck, though.
Personally, I'd love to see you take your time with this one...show us all the details of brining it back. It's going to bring a lot of eyeballs.
I just saw a 2008 Bentley Continental 2 door rag top in Autotrader 62,000.0 miles $59,900.00 Brampton Ontario... charcoal grey minty.
Are those massage seats in the back? The VW Phaeton had them.
I am so excited about this project 🤘🏽🔥
W12 - a VW motor that's not real easy to work on - to be sure. This seems like it may be another R8 adventure. I hope it works out well for you.
Back in the day, the essential difference between a Rolls Royce and a Bentley was that the Rolls Royce came with a chauffeur. Bentleys are set up for the OWNER to drive them.
I'm looking forward to WATCHING JR GO all over the country in his sweet whip in one epic road trip.
What ever happened with the Rolls-Royce with the LS swap? Did you ever fix it or did you just move it onto someone else? I seem to recall the car had a majorly broken rear suspension of driveshaft from when you tried to do burnouts at some event.
iirc it's still waiting on rear end parts to fix it
Your dad is probably thinking that you need to get a place of your own !!! I don't want your wrecks piling up around here !!! Lol
Actually his dad is probably thankful that he sold the Aerial Atom before he accidentally ended himself in it.
WOW! I'm a hotshot driver. You got over royalty on the shipping. $1000 from Florida to Kansas, WOW!
I was just looking up Bentley Continental GTs yesterday and then you put out this video today, well I guess it was yesterday as well.
How cool did it feel to get a freaking Bentley delivered to your dad's shop? This is going to be fun to watch. Congrats dude
