Hi , I’m considering buying a high specked 2014 Continental V8 s. It’s in exceptional condition and has done circa 50,000 miles.

I’m a Bentley first timer so please excuse me if I ask some daft questions .

Firstly how can I check clutch ware, I’ve had Maserati’s in the past and these could be checked electronically .

Secondly what would a replacement clutch cost.

Thirdly the car in question has ceramic brakes what’s the life on these, I know they should be ok but as with all these questions it depends on the way the car has been driven etc!

Any other advice would be great fully received.

Cheers

hi, did you buy the car? I had carbon brakes on my previous car and the disks lasted 14 years with 55000 miles. Replacement was expensive 12K.

kind regards
