Newbie Considering BENTLEY TURBO R MK IV 1996

[DSLiverpool]

The overall warranty is 10k miles which for my use will be 2 years ish, the 60 day fully comp gtee will cover time for an inspection and remedial work.

The dealer seems to have a good reputation in the industry and I have seen the pre delivery check criteria - it all seems comprehensive, I mean what dealer would send a car 250 miles if their was a chance it would be rejected ?

Car will be here on friday, will update once here.

I am still using mine everyday when I didn't intend to!

Just love it. Its almost as fast as my Lotus Esprit Turbo SE! Get about 14mpg on average but don't get tired driving it.

I must post piccies........

Well after a short while in my care my initial impresions are good, it drives like a younger car and as I remember them to drive in 1990`s, I cant fault the body or the interior however the spring loaded ignition switch console surprised me.

No lights come on under any type of driving and this morning it sat down evenly so thats good.

Small issues are possibly a blown fuse stopping the petrol flap releasing, excessive scratches to drivers door window and a lazy to lock rear door, there is some play in the drivers seat but Im 17 stone and if you play with the seat adjuster it masks it.

In reality its not much longer than my CLS but it seems it and Im sure it will shring with use.

All tools and bottles are present and manuals etc, car was new in belfast and has been mainly main dealer serviced.

Sounds good. The window scratching is normal and the lock problem is not unusual. Mine went and it was hundreds to fix.

[Scotty2]

I thought my fuel flap was faulty but I found out you have to have the ignition off before it works.

Try that.

Fuel flap - Ive tried it key at 11pm, 12pm and 1pm engine off - no joy sadly

Just a quick ask, does the little lighting switch and ignition panel light up - mine doesnt but Im not sure its a fault

[Bluebottle911]

If you are still having trouble opening the fuel flap, there is a cable pull in the boot - see handbook. Obviously you will want to have it fixed, but at least you will be able to fill it up in the meantime.

Thanks - yep I sussed that whilst blocking the local esso !!!

Any info on the light switch illumination ?

[stain]

Yes it should light up when you switch the headlights on.
