Cheapest Rolls Royce Silver Shadow in Europe - part 5 - Ignition timing, oil change & coolant flush
Переглядів 2,1 тис.6 місяців тому
Let's perform some basic service on this car before running the engine for any longer. Set the ignition timing, change the 8-year-old oil and flush the coolant. All the while, keeping the cost low. At the end of the video I show a full cost breakdown of my Rolls-Royce ownership so far.
Cheapest Rolls Royce Silver Shadow in Europe - part 4 - Engine fixed?
Переглядів 11 тис.9 місяців тому
In this episode I attempt to fix the engine choking/stalling issue by doing an ignition tune-up (new distributor rotor, cap, points, capacitor, ignition coil & wire) and replacing the fuel filters, including the ones in the carburettors. Let's see if that helps.
Cheapest Rolls Royce Silver Shadow in Europe - part 3 - Will it drive?
Переглядів 15 тис.9 місяців тому
Will it drive? The challenge is to get this classic Rolls-Royce that I bought on the cheap to a drivable state. Doesn't have to be perfect, just has to run and drive. The main issues to be tackled are the engine choking up/dying and the hydraulic height-control system leaking. Can I get it drivable with a small budget, without spending a fortune?
Cheapest Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow in Europe - part 2 - Will it start?
Переглядів 6 тис.9 місяців тому
Will it run? Watch me try to troubleshoot the starting/running problem on this 1974 Silver Shadow that I bought for next to nothing. This is my first dig into a car with carburetors and mechanical ignition (with points!). The fuel supply system (fuel pump, filters) is the main suspect for why the engine is not starting.

Переглядів 7 тис.9 місяців тому
I just bought the cheapest Rolls-Royce (any model) in the EU. It's a non-running and non-driving 1974 Silver Shadow I with a 6.75L V8 and a 3-speed automatic gearbox. Rolls Royce has always claimed to make the best car money can buy. Let's see how good it is 50 years later and what it would take to restore it to its former glory.

How to test a BMW diff speed sensor E28 E30 E31 E32 E34 E36
Переглядів 6 тис.Рік тому
This can be done with the diff on the car. Testing a BMW differential speed sensor with an ohmmeter is a very simple procedure. If your E23/E24/E28/E30/E31/E32/E34/E36 speedo (speedometer) is not working, one of the possible culprits is the speed sensor that's mounted on the differential cover (or the wiring for it). These 80s and 90s BMW models' instrument clusters get their speed signal from ...

How to remove the TMS module (which controls angel eyes and automatic headlight features) on a BMW F10 or F11 (F30 and others should be similar). This may be necessary if you've had humidity in the headlight and the TMS module has gotten damaged. The symptoms are that the turn signal doesn't work and you get various automatic headlight leveling warnings on the dash.

Just tuned into this channel. Love it. To get by, until all parts for hydraulic suspension repair are sourced- use air shocks to perform gross leveling and shock absorption? Get you by until parts arrive for lengthy time consuming repair?
That is verrryyy cheap for all those parts, i pay 8-10 times more for parts i boy in Holland and in the UK for my Corniche.
where did you get the oil filter kit from please
when you get that drop its too lean
the best video ever i almost removed the bumpEr
Hi Today, I used your excellent guide to replace the oil in my restoration project (almost done) on my 1968 Rolls Royce Fixed-Head Coupe. More importantly, you have not released any videos in a long time, today being 11.19.24. Are you OK?
hello sir i have an silvershadow 1977 wonder if you can tell me wich gearbox oil i can use?
Пеперудите балансирай , рабати малко не равномерно
Great video. Nice clean engine bay for the price you paid. Car looks nice.
I suspect the engine stopped because as the engine warms up the chokes stop then the fuel air mixture is wrong, carburettor problem
..Buy a Rover P5 😊 (jocking)
Very well done sir. An SS2 owner myself, also in gold I was impressed by your patience with the Carburettors,credit to you. Enjoyed your videos,keep up the good work buddy.
I will be glad if you contact me need help and advice
Verry clean work.i got one in the shop to a 77 first in trafik 88..i wonder where to order part?
You need a hose like Iain Tyrrell to listen to the hiss ;-)
Здравей, трябва ли да имам автоматични светлини, че да работи ?
The price of that oil filter!!! I don't agree with you on the off-road tyres: it would be absolutely fucking awesome on a Rolls Royce. I think there's an episode of Top Gear in which one of the hosts brings a Roller to Iceland or wherever with off-road tyres
why are there no videos on the adaptive led headlights were they not common on f10s or something? the module looks much different
Can't wait to watch your further videos especially about the windows as mine have stopped working apart now the drivers one
You definitely need to use RR363 brake fluid, which is a castor oil formulation that keeps the hydraulic pumps lubricated. The Shadow is still the must hydraulically complex car ever built, based on aircraft hydraulics technology. You'll need to learn to bleed the system. You can make your own hydraulic lines or order from Flying Spares. Also, look into rebuilding the accumulator spheres. Get your hydraulics sorted out before it becomes an expensive problem.
Good for you 👍 Jumping in both feet 😂 You Have this opportunity to own a Rolls-Royce Yes it is a little over your head but that's ok..You have taken on a Project that you will learn from This takes a special person..Driving to a lot of people is a way to get from A to B..The Driver that has a Rolls-Royce in their care Driving is a Craft..Not Beening in Rush But Just Beening in a Motor car That adds to life's enjoyment I have found a 1971 Rolls-Royce Same as your..Would love to buy it The cost is the easy part it's the up keep that's a great part to think of the care & maintenance 🤯 Will revist it on the lot and give it a another overview 😮 As your Driving thought the city Your following under Trolleybus lines as a Trolleybus OPERATOR myself iam enjoying the Trolleybus go through there paces..Again Driving is a craft in a Rolls-Royce 🚘 or Trolleybus 🚎 It takes time and care to move these Vehicles with Safety and care..It's a Craft 😌 All the Best .. GodBless
Have you stopped making videos ??
Hi there. It’s this possible coding with bimmercode ? I can’t really find how to VO code this.
thank you for the videos, I´ve just subscribed and enjoy a lot your experience... congratulations
Hi, i am running an M54B30 engine swap. Normally E46 cars have ABS sensors that connect to the ABS module and send speed info to the ECU. My E30 has no ABS so the ECU doesn't know how fast i'm going. Though there are ABS sensors on the E30. I am currently installing a digital screen in my E30 called "Canchecked". Its a digital display that reads out ECU info and displays it. The screen also has 4 analog inputs. My question is: is it possible to connect an ABS sensor to the analog input to be able to display the speed or not? Thanks
link to the door handle?
Hi there. Just found your videos on the Shad. Nicely done. I also bought a Silver Shadow and everything related to Rolls was new to me. Never overhauled a carb before, but it worked out pretty well. Easy. When well maintained, the Rolls is pretty reliable. Cheers, Chris
Great to see the process... its always trial and error... looking forward to more videos!
A new gearbox fluid may help too.
Exelente
Garage Fire 101 :-). That brings back some memories.
When will we see a new video.
I had one of these Shadow 1 in the eighties, nice to see you doing your own maintenance. look for Lucas parts for the electrics, coils, leads, ignition....also Ford Cortina Brake pads fit the Roller.
Are you sure that you want repair the issues on the shadow? You will have to do the brake overhaul and suspension if you keep it ...........$$$€€€€€££££$$$$$€€€€€€€€! And more 😀
You most likely have a vacuum leak. What was the torque setting for the wheel nuts? They should be no more than 45-50 ftlbs. Any more will deform the nuts. If the wheels were mounted by a tire shop, I can guarantee you they are set way above 50 lbs.
Айхан ми го нагласи на ямахата по звук … 😂
Браво!
Great video on how NOT to adjust SU carbs. A peek into the workshop maual will help you. The dampers must be in place, vac advance removed, etc. The carbs have to be balanced with dial gauges and the float level checked. Anyone watching this video willget you in trouble. Notice the rubber hose used on the stove pipe which is above the exhaust manifold.
easy as F… piece of cake 😂
What kind coolant it takes
As most of us told you Last time, carbs tuning is not that hard....super fine tuning is hard, but weldone! The car is now runing. Let's keep calm and carry on for the hydraulic system. Very Rolls Royce (complicated, but feaseable). Lionel
Love your tutorial, with all the part numbers and clear instruction. Wish somebody would do the same for acc retrofit.
You need to advance ignition timing and adjust air mixture o n carburetor after that you be okay
I ADD A CAN OF LUCUS ENGINE COMPLEAT TO MY GASS AT EVERY FILLUP, AND A CAN TO MY OIL EVERY SIX MONTHS WITH OIL CHANGE, IT'S A GREAT PRODUCT 👍
I repleace the module after the video but my long way light and normal light not working. Only the angel eye. Any idea ?
SU carbs are really simple to work on probably all that was required was cleaning the piston and suction chamber and ensuring the pistons returned with a "click" after the pistpns had be lifted and released
keep it up mate
Thanks, I'm chugging along!
Thanks for the excellent view of the distributor while you are working on it. The other creators usually give you a dark out of focus far away view. Now I can see exactly what is happening.
Extraordinary appreciation! I just bought a 1968 LHD USA Fixed-Head Coupe. It is running great, but no brakes as well as all the other "needs" you mentioned on yours! Your enthusiasm is important to me as I move ahead!
Thanks! Congrats for your purchase as well - and hopefully my videos can help you wrench on yours :) Btw there will be a video on the brakes and hydraulic system coming up in the future.
