      @phil154 hi Phil, yes mate. Turned out that the pipe between the MAF sensor and the turbo intake pipe wasn't sealed properly. I actually made a good seal using a good quality rubber donut normally used between a cistern and pan on a toilet until I can work out why the gap is wrong. I suspect that the air box mounts are badly adjusted but for now she's perfect. The other air leak I found was the corrugated pipe into the intake manifold from the crank case breather system. Fairly easy fix, I bought a slightly larger diameter pond cable conduit from a DIY store and sleeved the broken bit with clear silicone between the two. Absolutely perfect bodge :) I'll replace the whole thing when I get garage space again.

By far the best car I've ever owned and since I sorted the misfires out she's just an absolute joy in every way. Key thing is to have that reserve budget in hand and breakdown cover so you can always get hone again, after that it's all just an adventure. The w12 engine is bomb proof, mostly because there really isn't enough road in the UK to thrash it. If you see one and would like me to have a look I'd be glad to. VCDS diagnostic from Ross-tech would be a very wise purchase too if you are really serious. Good luck mate :)

If you're serious about buying a Bentley I would recommend you get yourself set up with VCDS from Ross-tech. I've done a couple of videos on using it in basic terms and you'll find more on youtube if you look. The fact that the seller either doesn't know this, or knows and is being disingenuous about it is a red flag from me! Tread carefully my friend.

      @ftostation nice one! Everyone needs a mate like yours! My wrong filter came from Autodoc by the way. To be fair it's the first thing they got wrong so I can't grumble too much :)

    pro tip - pour the oil sideways, same with any liquid really, that way the air can get in while you're pouring and it will not only go faster but it will flow nice and steady.

    It IS informative, and a good watch. Thank you! But for me, rather like the Olympic high diving, I would rather pay another £300 and watch someone else do it! With a job like this, a lift makes a difficult job relatively easy. The rear undertray dropped on my car shortly after I bought it, and standing underneath at my local garage, we could see why, and it was re-affixed free of charge.

    @Bentley on a Budget Can you make a video or give some information how to change the oil in the gearbox ,what filter and oil did you use ? I own mine since 3 years {2008 GT} ,like you I'm a working guy ,not talented in fixing but I have a good Indy who is fair to me ,also let me buy the parts. Currently 72000 miles I drove her 24000 in these 3 years just did regular maintenance. Now I had to replace the vacuum lines I was hoping that it never happen to me but I was prepared. Having a 2008 the repair could be done taking the steering rack out ,cost was $ 2700

      @ulflei hi, the gearbox oil service was done by my mechanics but the procedure was very specific. If you buy a proper ZF kit with the gaskets, seals and magnets in it it tells you what you need to do. I'll see if anyone else has actually filmed the process and let you know. Nige

    Have you had a problem with the steering wheel? My 2007 has a tilt and telescope feature. The telescope feature works but the tilt feature doesn’t operate. I can hear the motor activate when I turn the knob but no movement. I’ve been to a qualified shop who fixed it once but said it would be a problem in the future. It’s a problem NOW,

    Appreciate the videos, currently battling with the steering lock motor and board at the moment. Car had to be recovered from Maidstone after it failed to start after getting fuel. Another good video might be on how to force the car into neutral with no power if you do need to be recovered as 3 AA blokes pulled the car to bits to find the release cable.😥
