Both are necessary to start the engine, so charge them both.

Thsi is likely a problem inside the speedometer guage internally with the driven gears. They use drive motors to drive the needles inside. If it is pretty continuous then the speedometer is in trouble and will require a speedometer specialist to rebuild the unit or replacement of the unit.

sounds like one or two things could be a connector on the hydraulic damper at fault or edu, would go for damper first, dealer would throw on GDS 3000, to check which one at fault. the seal at the connectors fail or get dirt into them, have a look at all 4 first before dealer option. or it could be a damper faulty. The early cars did tend to have this failure at around the 100,000 mile mark during testing,hope this helps

is this any good to you http://faculty.ccp.edu/faculty/dreed/campingart/jettatech/nocrankdiag/latestarter.jpg

On the hydro suspension system there are spheres which act as shock dampers. These are pumped up by the engine pump and run around 2400psi max. As the wheels move up and down the 'ram' you would call the shock absorber displaces fluid into and out of the sphere/s. If these spheres are more than 6 years old, they go hard, because the nitrogen gas in them has leaked away. ( Gaseous Physics. They all do it. Nitrogen has a smaller molecual than the rubber trying to contain it.) This nitrogen gas pushes a thick rubber diaphragm towards the hydraulic fluid acting as a spring. The small orifice the fluid has to pass through into and out of the sphere acts as a damper to the wheels movements up and down. A sensor on the axle/s keeps the pressure in the system at the correct ride hight. You need new spheres if they have never been replaced.

If just bouncy like riding in a wheel barrow, gas springs are the most likely fault. If the rear is jacked up high then also look at the height control valve linkage in case it has become dislodged, damaged, moved. If not check the height control valve. Rolls Royce Wales Bentley Wales

This the wrong place to ask that question.bet there is not 1 in 1 million on here that has one

This means the car needs a service. Take it to your dealer and the will look after you. Remember. You can not run a big car on a few pounds................

This is the electronic boot opener. If you have to use the key, then it's turned off! Go to the glove box You will see 3 switches, one relates to that boot button. Ensure this is turned on and you will not need to use the key and the button on the dash will work also.

Remove the rear covers from the head light unit. Put these cover in the bin. After 2 days the head lights will be ok? I had this problem with my Arnage and it's never happened again. I have had this one now 3 years

Purchase your brake fluid direct from Bentley. Don't risk anything else

the latch is in front of the engine to the right side of the car right above the headlight.
