Mrs. Claus’ Irresistible, Indescribable, Incredible and Imaginative Holiday Party

and Awards Ceremony Can you believe it has been nearly nine years since we dusted off our finery, polished our PMCs, decorated both our fine automobiles and ourselves and arrived at the home of Karen Perrault in Rolling Hills for one of the best attended events of the year; the annual RROC holiday bash? Can you even imagine how many pounds of succulent prime rib and delicious salmon have been devoured on a wintry day in December? By all accounts, the quantities have been huge. This year we will once again team our very popular holiday party with our annual awards celebration. So not only will you partake in some of our fond holiday traditions, such as the informal concours of holiday decorated Rolls-Royce and Bentley motor cars gracing the driveway and the exquisitely attired members of our club all wondering if this year they will be a winner and come away with a plush teddy, a lotto ticket worth $1000 or something in between. But at the same time you might be that lucky member who wins the Best Restored Bentley or Most Improved Rolls-Royce for 2014 or many other great honors.

You can still expect such time honored traditions as the ever popular “Twelve Days of Christmas” and of course the somewhat unpredictable gift exchange. Please do remember that RROC staff is not responsible if your coveted gift is stolen shortly after you rip off that dazzling wrapping paper. That’s all part of the game. So please remember to bring a mystery gift for the exchange: it should be wrapped, special and interesting, and please do not spend more than $30 per couple for this item. Please note; you do not have to spend anything, as this is the one time that regifting is perfectly acceptable. Just make sure it is Holiday Grand, funny, cute, adorable, practical, valuable, or maybe just highly exchangeable.

Dress up your PMCs, hang some garland, decorate with Santas, bows and bells, and make sure you wear your holiday finest, and come to the Peninsula to celebrate these wonderful holidays with your fellow RROC members. Also, don’t forget that in addition to the awards ceremony, the holiday concours, the joyful singing and the gift exchange, you will be treated to a fabulous and generous lunch of prime rib or salmon. The tender roast prime rib is accompanied by baked potatoes, vegetables and salad. The grilled herb salmon comes with Rice Pilaf, vegetables and salad. Of course there will be yummy dessert bars with either lunch choice. Please mark your remittance envelope with #1 for Prime Rib, and #2 for Salmon.

Now I know it is hard to believe, but in all the years that we have been celebrating the holidays in Rolling Hills, the price for this event is still under $50 per person. As a matter of fact, it is only $45 per person. However, the bad news is that at this price we will sell out, because we have limited seating at the North Pole. So if you would like to attend, please make your reservations early.

Date: Sunday, December 21, 2014

Time: 10:00 a.m.

Host: Karen Perrault

Where: 18 Outrider Road, Rolling Hills, CA 90274 At the home of Karen Perrault (310-519-0536)Price: $45 per person

Lunch Choice: Prime Rib (#1 on envelope) Salmon (#2 on envelope)

What to bring: Your fine holiday style, a festive Rolls-Royce or Bentley, and one exchange gift per couple ($30 Maximum)

Directions: From North or South, take the 405 Freeway to the 110 Freeway South. Exit the 110 Freeway at Anaheim. Both lanes may turn left at the bottom of the off-ramp. Turn left from the right lane, and make an immediate right turn onto Anaheim. At the second signal you will reach a five-point intersection. Do not make an immediate left, but turn the second left up the hill onto Palos Verdes Drive North. Drive past Western Avenue. Turn left onto Palos Verdes Drive East.

You will wind up the hill a ways and will pass the following streets: Bronco (right), Roan (left), Coach (left), Mustang (right). Immediately after Mustang you will come to a small sign, Eastfield Gate (on your right). Turn right and go to the right side of the guard shack. Give your name and destination, and they will check you off their list. Proceed through the stop sign at the end of the guardhouse, and turn left at the first boulevard stop, Outrider Road. Proceed to almost the end of the street. #18 is on the left. Please, only Rolls-Royce and Bentley motor cars in the driveway. All others may park on the street.

DECEMBER 2014

I recently read about a gentleman in PA who helped a fellow car club member rescue a car that had been in storage for over 30 years. This wasn’t just any barn find because this car had been stored in an old limestone mine. You would think that the car would be in horrible condition but it turns out that the mine shaft had air conditioning systems that kept the air dry and at an even temperature. The car was a wonderful 1937 Bentley 4 1/4 liter All Weather by Vanden Plas. Can you imagine the sight when this car was first rolled out into the sunlight after 30 years? I love stories like this and I am amazed that there are still cars out there yet to be discovered. So with that in mind, let’s give our lovely PMCs some extra love and attention. The holidays are coming up and it is great excuse to get your car in for an oil change and service; maybe a fresh coat of wax or getting those whitewalls white again because pride of ownership starts with us and these cars are a privilege to drive and own. It has been my honor to serve you as Chairman for the last two years. Our club’s success would not be possible if it wasn’t for all of the hard work and dedication provided by our board and committee members. They have been a joy to work with and made my job much easier. Thank you all so much.

I wish you and yours happy holidays!

Happy motoring. Pierre Lemieux

The Spirit of EcstasyCelebrating 50 Years

The Cover Story

This 1937 Rolls-Royce Phantom III Limousine (3CP92) with right hand drive came off test mid-1937. She was fitted with a Hooper body and was the eleventh of only twelve body styles of this design. She was originally ordered from England and delivered to a physician in Manhattan, New York. She was used in New York and later stored in a barn in New Hampshire for some twnety-five years, only to be discovered by her second owner who had her completely restored by Executive Motor Works of Boca Raton, Florida. Karen found this beautiful lady on eBay in 2003 and soon she was on her way to California to her third owner. This car is the epitome of the terms backup and failsafe, with 12 cylinders, 4 speed and a dual distributor engine that has 24 spark plugs and dual fuel pumps. This Phantom III is a 4 door with a luggage rack and trunk, all painted in black with maize. The interior is finished in rich brown leather and has two foldaway jump seats. The Perraults were very happy to add this Rolls-Royce to their collection.

Thanks from the EditorBy Dori Olsen

In March of this year, The Spirit of Ecstasy became a 12 page newsletter rather than the eight pages we had published previously. Gene Towle, our Marketing/Advertising Chairman, did a phenomenal job increasing advertising, which allowed us to publish the additional pages. Although I wouldn’t admit it at the time, increasing the size of the newsletter by 50% and continuing to publish it on a monthly basis was a little intimidating. While exuding confidence publicly, I was quietly wondering about filling the extra pages. Not to worry! Our members came through and I want to thank you profusely for the articles, photos, tidbits, special interest items, ads, ideas and support. I couldn’t do it without you!

This is truly the members’ newsletter.

Pierre Lemieux for his monthly column and his contributions of special interest articles.Karen Perrault for planning the monthly events, for always keeping me apprised of the details, for her articles and for her photos of the monthly events. Ronny Shaver for his monthly column “Ask Ronny” and updates on his monthly tech seminars.Brock Backlund for his many and thorough technical “how to” articles, complete with photos.Steve Power-Fardy for his articles and videos of the tech meets, his photos and special interest articles.Gene Towle for obtaining ads to support the cost of the newsletter. Without him, we couldn’t have gone to a 12 page newsletter. Susana Gateau-Cumin for providing new member information.

I also want to thank these wonderful members who took time out from their busy schedules and contributed articles, photos, ideas, etc. They are, in no particular order:

Diane Cerveny, Chris Contes, Dr. John Glassco, Nancy Ratinoff, Dr. David Morrison, Steve Butler, Ken Johnson, Sherry Stern, Terri Mercurio, Benoit Gateau-Cumin, Larry Ewaska, Jeff Olsen, Joan Hugron, Larry Ewaska, Bill Cronkhite, Kenneth Smith and Gary Moore,

And finally, thanks to all of you, our members, who take the time to read the newsletter. Have a beautiful holiday and a fabulous 2015!

Common Silver Cloud Problems and Causesby Ronny Shaver, Technical Chairman

The Silver Cloud models have a number of common problems that I run across on a regular basis. Following is a list of the problems and usual causes broken down into sections.

Brake problems

Problem: Hard brake pedal when applied but brakes do not grab: sometimes accompanied by a shudder type noise. Cause: Oil contaminated brake servo lining . The seal on the shaft from the transmission must be replaced along with the servo lining. Problem: Grabby brakes. The brakes should have a uniform smooth application with increasing grab as pedal is pushed harder and not grab violently with light pedal application. Causes: one empty reservoir (indicating a leak in that particular system and working off only one master cylinder), sticky wheel cylinders, old plugged brake hoses, leaking wheel cylinders, incorrectly adjusted mechanical system. Problem: Low brake pedal. Causes: Servo adjustment, brake shoe adjustment, brake linkage adjustment and sometimes incorrectly fitted brake lines at wheel cylinders, causing too much master cylinder travel. Also, the bleeder fitted to lower fitting of wheel cylinder. The bleeder must always be fitted at the highest point.

Suspension problems Problem: Poor ride. Causes: leaking shock absorbers worn sagging springs, worn and/or frozen suspension joints. Most cars I see have little or no fluid in shock absorbers due to leaking side seals. Be warned that new leaks may appear after topping off shock fluid levels. Problem: Wandering (shifting) rear end (most often experienced when changing lanes on highway and making turns).Cause: Worn rear spring bushings, Z-bar broken or missing.

Steering problems

Problem: Leaks. Common leaks are steering ram (under center of front bumper), steering box pitman and or input shaft seals, steering pump seals and hoses.Problem: Looseness. Common problems are worn idler arm bushing (common symptom is a loud popping noise when turning steering wheel back and forth when car is stationary), steering box adjustment and or steering rubber coupling worn out.

Engine problems

Problem: Leaks. Causes: Six cylinder: common leaks are side covers and rocker cover (usually just loose mounting nuts), external oil pipe o-rings (on right side of block near oil filter), oil level sending unit gaskets and cracked oil pan (on left side of oil pan where it drops down and gets deeper). Eight cylinder: valve cover gaskets, front engine cover sealing strip, valley cover gasket under intake manifold, oil level sending unit, loose oil pan bolts and block weep holes (8 small holes on sides of block between oil pan and cylinder heads. Can usually be externally sealed with small short screws and RTV sealer so long as no coolant is leaking from them).Problem: Noises.Causes: Six cylinder: most common noise is tappet noise caused by loose valve adjustments’, sometimes bearing knock that is most often heard at start-up and occasionally loud knocking caused by broken piston skirts, and very rarely timing gear knocking noise.

Eight cylinder: lifter noise (light tapping noise regardless of engine load), piston slap (deeper tapping noise that increases with load and is worse when engine is cold). These two noises are commonly confused and mis-diagnosed.Problem: Performance.Causes: Common causes are points and condenser, carburetor floats and/or adjustments, dirty carburetor dampers and damper fluid low. One more cause of poor performance can be a plugged fuel filter and/or a fuel pump with low output (dirty or worn out points on one or both sides of pump).

Transmission problems

Problem: Leaks. Causes: Common leaks are sump gasket, torus gasket (sometimes just loose fixing bolts at starter ring gear), front seal (requires transmission removal for replacement), side cover selector shaft or throttle valve shaft seal and or gasket, extension housing gasket and seal.Problem: Shifting. Causes: Common causes are band adjustment and throttle valve (main signal to tell transmission when to up and or down shift) linkage adjustments and or worn bushings, broken motor mounts and poor engine performance (cylinder misfire, low fuel supply, incorrect timing) causing incorrect throttle valve pressure at wrong load.

Cooling system problems

Problem: Leaks. Causes: Common leaks are water pump seals, hoses, radiators, radiator cap seals and faulty “steam valves”(pressure relief valves).Problem: Overheating. tCauses: Common causes are thermostats and plugged radiators. Sometimes head gasket leaks.Problem: Gauges reading too high.Causes: Can sometimes just be caused by a faulty sending unit.

Electrical Problems

Problem: Lights. Causes: Common lighting problems are burnt bulbs, dirty bulb sockets and loose or dirty wiring connections (most often found at junctions entering the fenders through the engine compartment side panels just rearward of the radiator). Turn signals have two flashers so if one side doesn’t work, a flasher is the most common fault. Brake light switch contacts are the most common cause for brake lights not working and can be replaced (part number DB525).Problem: Horns.Causes: Common horn problems are dirty relays, dirty horn vibrator contacts, bad wiring connections. Horns can be replaced with modern aftermarket units.Problem: Wipers.Causes: Common faults are bad grounds (common fault for wiper not to reverse and park properly), bad wiring connections and sometimes frozen wiper racks and wheel boxes.Problem: Window lifts. Causes: A common cause is dirty switches. If you can hear the motor running but the window doesn’t move, a broken chain and/or motor coupling can cause the problem. Chains often rust and seize if not used for many years. If your window makes a popping noise when it gets to the top, a loose chain is the cause. Loose chains can be caused by a broken spring tensioner and also regulator adjustment.

Thank you for the questions and keep them coming. Please send your questions to Ronny at [email protected].

Happy Motoring!Ronny

Replacing the Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor

on a 2006 Bentley CFSby Brock Backlund

If you want to do anything more complicated to your modern car than washing and waxing it, you need a scanner. On my 2006 Bentley Flying Spur, there are oodles of computers that will willingly deliver tons of information to my Ross-Tech VCDS scanner, giving me everything from engine rpm and coolant temperature to valve timing and misfire detection. And with a few button presses, it’ll interrogate the computers for fault codes, letting me know what’s wrong with the car.

The downside to this is you find out things are broken on your car when it seems to be running fine. If you’re like me, you feel a need, maybe even an obligation, to fix those things. And sometimes those things are not so easily fixed. Some time ago, I discovered the exhaust gas temperature sensor on bank 1 (the right bank, from the viewpoint of the driver) was bad. Sometimes it would read -40 degrees C, which I suspect is perhaps a bit low for an accurate reading. I reached into my stash of quid and bought a new sensor. It was when I had the car ripped apart that I realized I had no way of removing the old sensor; a special tool, one I could not get or make (odd angles and all), was needed to extract the probe from the exhaust manifold. I tried, but I failed. If only the sensor to go bad were the one on bank 2; at least that one is easy to get to.

Be careful what you wish for. Sure enough, about six months later, the sensor on bank 2 (left side, from the driver’s perspective) showed up as being bad. So another dip into the quid bank and Flying Spares sent me a new sensor. Let the fun begin.

The first thing to be done is to remove the engine covers. These are held in place by ball studs and are easily removed by prying the panels up.

Once those are gone, the filter assembly must be removed. A single 10 mm bolt and some ball studs hold it into place. However, there are other connections that must be removed so you don’t break things removing the assembly. Once the bolt is removed, the assembly must be raised a bit to remove the air flow meter electrical connection. Of course, the tab for the connector is facing away from you, so you can’t see what you’re doing, but pressing the tab down toward the connector body allows for relatively easy removal.

The assembly can be removed at this point. It’s a really good idea to stuff a rag into the induction pipe that goes to the turbocharger; foreign objects, like dropped tools, play havoc with the turbo. It’s best to disconnect the crankcase breather hose and the cold air duct; this will allow for better access to the mounting studs of the electronics body of the temperature sensor. Now you can almost see the mounting studs for the sensor electronics body. A 10 mm wrench is needed to remove the nuts and a flexhead ratchet box wrench is really useful here.

When the nuts are removed and carefully pulled away from the engine bay (we don’t want to drop anything, do we?), the lower tab of the electronics box is lifted off the mounting stud and the box is rotated counterclockwise so the upper tab can be lifted off its own mounting stud. At this point, the electronics box can be removed.

Remove the connector to the sensor electronics box and you’re ready to remove the probe from the exhaust manifold. This takes a 17 mm open end wrench. Surprisingly, there is actually enough room to do this.

When the old probe is removed, the new probe can be inserted. The probe is supposed to be torqued to 26 ft-lbs, but because of the limited clearance and odd angle, it was difficult to do this accurately; I did the best I could. The probe cable is run under the two clips on the engine and the sensor electronics box is put back onto the mounting studs. The connector to the sensor electronics box is reattached, the cold air duct is replaced, the crankcase breather hose is reattached, and the filter assembly is lowered into position so the connector to the air flow meter can be reattached. It’s a bit cumbersome to get the filter assembly properly connected to the induction pipe and cold air duct, but it’s essential; if there is extra air leaking into the induction pipe that is not measured by the air flow meter, the car will run quite poorly and all sorts of faults, like misfires, will show up in your next scan.

Once everything is back together, with the engine panels replaced to hide the evidence of whatever you did, run a scan of the engine to make sure everything is working correctly. Clear the faults and do a new scan; the exhaust gas temperature sensor fault should stay cleared when the engine is running. A check of the gas temperature can be made on the Drivetrain block, Engine II, group 112; you should see a temperature reading of about 360 degrees C. If you see -40 degrees, something is broken and you should have the dealer fix the problem, while you disavow knowledge of anything being done to the car.

My scan came up clear for the block 2 temperature sensor (block 1 is still intermittent, of course), so I am good to go. Now if I can only find the crowfoot wrench that dropped into the engine bay and never hit concrete.




The entrance to the Bentley factory

Bentley Pyms Lane Factory at Crewe, England

By Bill Cronkhite

(Long-time members Bill and Michelle Cronkhite were fortunate to visit the Bentley Pyms Lane factory at Crewe, England during their vacation to London and Paris and are kind enough to share with us their adventures and photos of the factory).

M i c h e l l e and I had pre arranged our tour of Bentley Motors in Crewe weeks before we were to arrive in London. On Monday, Sept. 29th we took a high speed commuter train from London to Crewe, which took about two and half hours, allowing us to enjoy the English countryside along the way. The cab ride was only 15 minutes to the famous address on Pyms Lane. We took a few photos of the front of the factory as soon as we hopped out of the cab. As we were opening the large glass doors and entering the main lobby area, my heart started to beat a little faster.

Bill and Michelle’s Excellent Adventure

The Bentley factory, which is located just outside of the English railway town of Crewe, looks much as it did with WW II-era brick buildings containing the most modern of equipment. It was originally built quickly as a “shadow factory” at the behest of the British government. The British government developed the concept of a shadow factory to create additional manufacturing capabilities for aircraft in preparation for increased need due to the upcoming World War II. At its peak in 1943, 10,000 workers were employed.

Nigel Stoddard, our tour guide, was a proper Eenglish gentleman . We introduced ourselves and were ushered into the Bentley Heritage display, the only area where we were allowed to take photos. The highlight of the display was the most expensive Bentley on the planet, the 1929 Birkin/Paget Blower Bentley, valued at 22 million dollars. No photos were allowed in any of the production areas for security reasons. New Bentleys today are still largely hand-built. There are auto workers and then there are craftsmen: Bentley/Volkswagen only employs the latter. The assembly line utilizes modern machinery to do the heavy lifting but all of the welding of body panels is done manually. The inspection and smoothing of the welded surfaces is done by hand and touch. The body shells are also spray painted by hand.

In the leather shop where the seats are constructed, sewing machines are used to sew the base stitching. The top stitching, which is what you see, is done by hand. In the wood shop, which is my personal favorite, the processes are still completed using the time honored method of hand and eye. For the discerning bespoke customer who wishes to commission a Bentley, there are two separate rooms with dozens of wood veneers and vat-dyed hides that are available for selection. The cable television station A&E did an episode on “Ultimate Factories” at Crewe a few years ago.

The three hour walking tour is free but reservations are required. After the tour concluded, we were back in the lobby and stopped by the gift shop to buy a coffee mug, Nigel asked if there was anything else that we required. I had asked him to call a cab for the ride back to the train station and in very proper English he said, “Oh no, that won’t do”. Nigel then pulled up in a new Mulsanne and we hopped in back, surrounded by the ultimate example of performance, speed and luxury.

This was an unbelievable experience for us and if you are ever in England, I highly recommend a visit to Crewe..
