Bentley Turbo R total power loss

[468]

Hi. I was driving down the road this evening when the car completely lost power. Unfortunately this included the power steering which was a little entertaining at 60 mph, but I managed to guide the car safely off the road. The warning were along the lines of "cruise mode", "check oil" and the battery/oil lights - presumably associated with the engine being stopped. There was also a gear check warning, but I can't remember exactly what. The car remains where she stopped awaiting attention. Any idea what may have caused this. It is a 1996 mark IV turbo r. Thanks.

Yes thanks. It was a relay - simple fix, but quite dramatic when it happened.

I'll get back to you. They are apparently prone to failing and it's a good idea to carry a spare.
