Th is section should be used as a quick reference guide to any features considered essential for the safety of either the operator or the vehicle . The list is not exhaustive_ In the interests of health and hygiene, items normally used in service workshops such as anti-freeze. hydraulic system mineral oil, lubricants, engine oil , adhesives, cleaning agents, etc., should all be treated with extreme caution . As these items can be of a toxic nature they must not be swallowed and contact with the skin must be kept to an absolute minimum. Manufacturers' instructions should be followed carefully. Workshop safety Whenever any work is being carried out on the vehicle with the engine running, always ensure that the gear range selector lever is in the park position, the parking brake is applied, and fuse A6 is removed from fuse panel F2 on the main fuseboard. Towing the vehicle Before towing the vehicle note the following. Do not tow the vehicle to start the engine. Do not tow the vehicle if any mechanical damage to the transmission is suspected. Do not tow the vehicle with a low fluid level in the torque converter transmission. If it is necessary to tow the vehicle for even a short distance a solid tow bar must be used. A speed of 56 km/h (35 mile/h) and a maximum distance of 80 kilometres (50 miles) must not be exceeded . For towing distances in excess of 80 kilometres (50 miles) either disconnect the propeller shaft or transport the vehicle. Always tow the vehicle with the torque converter transmission in neutraL Metric components A number of the nuts, bolts, and setscrews used in the manufacture of these ca rs are dimensioned to the metric system. It is important therefore, that when new parts become necessary the correct replacements are obtained and fitted . Chapter B - Special processes Storage When the car is stored, always ensure that the battery master switch is turned to the OFF position. If any electrical connections or disconnections are required, always disconnect the battery. Re com missioning Always ensure that the battery is removed from the car before charging. 5/88 Printed in England © Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Limited 1988 Chapter C - Air conditioning Danger - Exhaust gases Due to the danger from inhaling exhaust gases the engine should not be operated for long periods in a confined space e.g . private garage. Sitting in the car with the air conditioning system operating does not eliminate this danger. First aid - Refrigerant burns If the skin is injured by refrigerant it should be bathed with clean cold water and medical attention sought immediately. Do not apply any localized heat, hot dressings, etc. An eye injured by refrigerant must be immediately washed with clean cold water. The eye must not be rubbed as this will aggravate the injury. A doctor should be consulted as soon as possible after administering emergency treatment. Chapter E - Engine Engine oils Prolonged and repeated contact with mineral oil will result in the removal of natural fats from the skin, leading to dryness, irritation, and dermatitis. In addition, used engine oil contains potentially harmful contaminants which may cause skin cancer. Adequate means of skin protection and washing facilities should be provided . Health protection precautions Avoid prolonged and repeated contact with oils, particularly used engine oils. Wear protectiva clothing , including impervious gloves where practicable. Do not put oily rags in pockets. Avoid contaminating clothes, particularly underpants, with oil. Overalls must be cleaned regularly. Discard unwashable clothing and oil impregnated footwear. First Aid treatment should be obtained immediately for open cuts and wounds. Use barrier creams, applying before each work period, to help the removal of oil from the skin. Wash with soap and water to ensure all oil is removed (skin cleansers and nail brushes will help). Preparations containing lanolin replace the natural skin oils which have been removed. Do not use petrol, kerosine, diesel fuel, gas oil, thinners, or solvents for washing skin. If skin disorders develop, obtain medical advice. Where practicable, degrease components prior to handling. Where there is a risk of eye contact, eye protection should be worn, for example, chemical goggles or face shields; in addition an eye wash facility should be provided. TSO 4700 A3-1 Environmental protection precautions It is illegal to pour used oil onto the ground, down sewers or drains, or into water courses. The burning of used engine oil in small space heaters or boilers is not recommended unless emission control equipment is fitted; in cases of doubt check with the Local Authority. Dispose of used oil through authorized waste disposal contractors to licensed waste disposal sites, or to the waste oil reclamation trade _If in doubt, contact the Local Authority for advice on disposal facilities. Chapter F - Propeller shaft Propeller shaft - To remove The crossmember centre section must not be allowed to hang on the parking brake cables. Chapter G - Hydrau,ics A WARNING Use only hydraulic system mineral oil (LHM) to replenish the braking and levelling systems. Do not use brake fluids (Castro I RR363, Universal, or any other type). The use of any type of brake fluid, even in very small amounts, wtll cause component failure necessitating extensive rectification to the braking and levelling systems of the car. Always ensure before fitting any seals, hoses, pipes. etc., that they are suitable tor a mineral oil system . For details of correct component identification reference should be made to Chapter G. Always ensure that two sealed containers of hydraulic system mineral oil (LHM) are fitted in the luggage compartment. Always ensure that no foreign matter enters the systems when work is being carried out . It is of the utmost importance that Service Personnel should fully appreciate that the hydraulic systems operate at high pressures . The systems are designed to operate safely under normal working conditions, but, when work is performed on the systems, certain precautions must be observed to ensure adequate safety to personnel and equipment. Cleanliness To ensure correct functioning of the hydraulic systems it is imperative that meticulous care is taken to ensure compiete cleanliness at all times. Operation of the brakes (engine not running) The service brakes (i.e_ foot brake) consists of two independent all power systems. The power for these systems in the form of hydraulic pressure is provided by two engine driven hydraulic pumps. When the engine stops, a limited reserve of pressure remains stored in the hydraulic accumulators. Due to brake operation, natural internal leakage. and height control system operation th is energy will be slowly depleted. Although a number of brake appl icati ans wi II be available immediately after the engine stops, it is recommended that the service brakes are not utilized when the engine is not running. Finally, always remember that if the car is being manoeuvred without the engine running, the footbrake will not stop the car if the pressure in the hydraulic systems is exhausted . Precautions before working on the car Before any work, except bleeding and specified tests, is carried out on the car hydraulics, the systems must be de pressurized (refer to Section A 7 or Chapter GJ. With the exception of bleed screws, components must never be disturbed when the systems are in a pressurized state. Hydraulic system mineral oil The hydraulic braking and height control systems of the car are filled with hydraulic system mineral oil which is green in colour. Always refer to Chapter D - Lubricants, for the correct type of approved hydraulic system mineral oil to use in the system . Warning Hydraulic system mineral oil is not miscible with conventional brake fluids (i.e. RR363 or Universal types). Under no circumstances should any fluid other than the genuine hydraulic system mineral oil be used. Contamination of the hydraulic systems with a conventional vegetable or synthetic type brake fluid will cause the seals and hoses to deteriorate which could result in eventual brake faults. To avoid contamination, all mineral oil containers and components should be stored in a clearly defined area away from that used for conventional brake fluid . Before topping-up the system, if contamination is at all suspect, check the contents of the mineral oil reservoirs using the contamination kit RH 284 1. available from Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Limited at Crewe. Component identification Al I components which are susceptible to dam age from brake fluid are colour coded Green and have a GMF prefix part number e.g . GMF 1062. Other components which are not susceptible to brake fluid damage (i.e. metal pipes and connectors) are not colour coded and do not have a GMF prefix part number. It must be stressed however that these parts must not become contaminated with brake fluid, as this fluid could circulate to other components in the hydraulic systems. Hydraulic accumulator and gas spring spheres The accumulator and gas spring spheres are charged on one side of their diaphragms with nitrogen gas prior to despatch from the factory. Each sphere is marked with a band of white paint or a yellow stick-on label when charged. The charge pressure in 'bars' ( 1 bar= 14.50 lbf/in 2 ) is stamped on the non-return valve cap at the lower end of the sphere. It is recommended that spheres are stored and issued from stock in date sequence. 5/88 A3-2 ~ ~ Storage and transportation To avoid contamination, it is of the utmost importance that brake fluid and hydraulic system mineral oil containers and components are kept completely separate. Conventional brake fluids have a detrimental effect on rubber seals and hoses used in a mineral oil system. Chapter H - Sub-frames and suspension Urethane foam filled components The suspension crossmember and fi na I drive cross member are filled with urethane foam. When using cutting or welding equipment on the crossmembers suitable precautions should be taken not to inhale the toxic gases given off when the tern peratu re exceeds 200°C (3g2"FJ. Shock dampers Each shock damper contains nitrogen gas under pressure. On no account should the damper be subjected to undue force of any description. Do not clamp the damper in a vice. If the spring support has seized onto the damper, renew the shock damper and spring support. To render a shock damper safe ford isposal, drill a small hole 25 mm ( 1.0 in) from the closed end of the outer tube. The escaping gas should not be allowed to come into contact with eyes or skin whilst under pressure. Immediately the hole has been drilled, stand clear and allow the nitrogen gas to disperse to atmosphere. Front road springs Use of the road spring retaining tool RH 8809 should be restricted to a maximum of 200 applications. Inspection of the long bolt threads must be made at frequent i nte rva ls. The person Iifting the com pressed assembly out of the car must keep their head and body clear of the tool. Caster and Camber angles The caster and camber angles must always be checked at the same time, as adjustment of one affects the other. Chapter K - Fuel system (Refer to TSD 4737) Fuel - To drain The fuel is highly flammable, and extreme care must be exercised whenever the system is opened (i.e. pipes or unions disconnected) or when the fuel is drained. The following basic rules should apply. 1. Disconnect the battery. 2. Place 'No Smoking' signs in the vicinity of the vehicle. 3. Ensure that adequate firefighting equipment is available in the vicinity of the vehicle. 4. De pressurize the fuel system. 5. Protective clothing in cl ud i ng safety goggles, gloves, and aprons should be worn at all times by the operator. 6. If fuel is to be removed from the tank, it should be siphoned into a suitable covered container. Do not run the engine to completely drain the system as damage to the fuel pump could occur. Damage to the catalytic converter (if fitted) in the exhaust system could also occur if the engine is allowed to run until the fuel system is completely empty. Health risk Fuel may contain up to 5% of Benzene as an anti-knock additive. Benzene is extremely injurious to health (being carcinogenic) and therefore all contact should be kept to an absolute minimum, particularly inhalation. Fuel has a sufficiently high vapour pressure to allow a hazardous bui Id-up of vapour in poorly ventilated areas_ The vapours are irritant to the eyes and lungs, if high concentrations are inhaled it may cause nausea, headache. and depression. Liquid fuel is an irritant to the eyes and skin and may cause dermatitis with prolonged or repeated contact. If there is contact with fuel the following emergency treatment is advised. Ingestion (swallowing) Do not induce vomiting. Give the patient milk to drink (if none is available water can be given). The main hazard after swallowing fuel is that some of the liquid may get into the lungs. Send the patient to hospital immediately. Eyes Wash with a good supply of clean water for at least 1 0 minutes. 'Jacking up' the car Care must be taken not to leave the car jacked up for long periods without support to the trailing arms, otherwise damage may result to the trailing arm mounting points. When using a hydraulic jack to raise the car ensure that a hardwood block is placed between the jack and the underneath of the car. The engine front pulley should not be used to support the engine. Inhalation (breathing in vapour) Move the patient into the fresh air. Keep the patient warm and at rest. If th ere is loss of consciousness give artificial respiration. Send the patient to hospital. Rear suspension Warning Before any work is carried out on the rear ;''· suspension frame tubes, etc., reference must ' be made to the appropriate section in the ' ') 1_'_ _ Workshop Manual_ Cleanliness It is extremely important to ensure maximum cleanliness whenever work is carried out on the system. The main points are. 1. To prevent the ingress of dirt, always clean the area around a connection before dismantling a Joint. Skin contact Immediately drench the affected parts of the skin with water. Remove contaminated clothing and then wash all contaminated skin with soap and water. 5/88 TSO 4700 Printed in England © Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Limited 1988 A3-3 2. Having disconnected a joint (either fuel or air) always blank off any open connections as soon as possible. 3 . Any components that require cleaning should be washed in clean fuel and dried, using compressed air. 4. It it is necessary to use a cloth when working on the system, ensure that it is lint-free. Fuel injection system During manufacture, the components of the fuel injection system are precisely adjusted in order to comply with the relevant emission control regulations. Therefore, a Iterations to any of the settings should not normally be necessary. Before carrying out any tests, ensure that the battery is in a fully charged condition . The control piston, if removed, should be handled with care as it is machined to very fine tolerances. Fuel pressure The fuel injection system contains fuel that may be under high pressure [approximately 5,2 bar (7 5 lbf/ in 2 )]. Therefore, to reduce the risk of possible injury and fire, always ensure that the system is depressurized. Turbocharging system The turbocharger assembly should never be dismantled. If the turbocharger is faulty, a service exchange unit should be fitted. Prior to the turbocharger being fitted to the engine, it should be primed with engine oil through the oil feed pipe. Never run the engine with the oil feed pipe to the turbocharger disconnected . Whenever any components are removed from the turbocharging system, they should be handled with care to avoid damaging the machined faces. An application of Neverseez or similar anti-seize lubricant should be applied to any exhaust bolts whenever they are removed to aid dismantling at a future date. The wastegate assembly when removed from the car should be tested with air pressure only and care should be taken to avoid blanking off the spring cover vent hole whilst doing so, as this can cause damage to the diaphragm. Do not run the engine with the air cleaner disconnected. The only possible exception being in the workshop, where care should be taken to avoid dirt and foreign matter entering the system. A knock sensor is fitted between cylinders two and three on both 'A' bank and 'B' bank. Therefore, when any work is being carried out in these areas, special care must be taken . Do not use an exhaust extraction system on the vehicle. Failure to observe this caution may result in a temporary leak from the turbocharger oil seal arrangement. compounds have a detrimental chemical action on aluminium alloys. Thermostat - To test Important If the water is heated too quickly, or if the circulation is poor, a false reading may result. The thermostat has its opening temperature stamped on the base of the unit, e.g. 88° C { 190° F) . When fu Ily open, the va Ive should have travel led a minimum of 9,50 mm (0 .375 in). Chapter M - Electrical system (Refer to TS D 4701 and TS D 4848) Before commencing work on a particular circuit the following precautions must always be observed. 1. Whenever possible the gear range selector lever should be placed in the park position, the gearchange isolating fuse (fuse A6) removed from fuseboard F2, and the ignition key removed from the switchbox. In addition, turn the battery master switch (if fitted) to the OFF position and d isconnect the battery. 2. When reactivating a seat memory ensure that contact with the seat or seat mechanism is avoided. Immediately the seat is reactivated it will automatically move to a pre-set adjustment position. 3. Never disconnect the battery when the engine is running. 4 . When working on the windscreen wiper system with the wiper mechanism cover removed , always disconnect the battery. 5. Always ensure correct polarity when making cable connections. 6. Never use a test lamp on circuits that contain electronic components . 7. When working on or in the vicinity of the air conditioning micro-processor, anti-static precautions, in particular, the wearing of an anti-static wristband connected to a good earth, must be observed. Battery It is imperative that the battery is disconnected before commencing work on the electrical system or components, or if any electric arc weld ing is to be used on the car. Battery - To charge The gases given off during charging are highly flammable. Always remove the battery from the car before charging. Chapter N - Steering system Damage can be caused to the steering column and power assisted steering rack boots if the steering is operated without the engine running, i.e. distortion to the column, broken column mounts, and cut rack boots. Chapter L - Cooling system Cooling system - To flush Under no circumstances use a strong alkaline com pound or detergent to clean the cooling system. Such Rack and pinion unit Do not strike this unit with a hammer as e)(treme damage could result. 5/ 88 A3-4 Belt tension A slipping belt will squeal and produce judder at the steering wheel nearing full lock. Belt dressing must not be applied to prevent slip. Steering pump - Priming and filling When filling an empty system with the engine running, it is essential that at no time the fluid level in the pump reservoir be allowed to drop sufficiently for air to be drawn into the system. If this occurs, irreparable damage will result. Chapter R - Wheels and Tyres Tyre -To fit Dunlop tyre bead lubricant TBL 1, TBL2, or Tip Top 593063 is recommended for use when fitting tyres. It is most important that soap or other similar agents are not used. reduce the carbon monoxide, hydrocarbon, and oxides of nitrogen content in the exhaust gases. The system does not eliminate the danger caused by inhaling exhaust gases in a confined area. Before commencing work on the exhaust emission control system, care should be taken to ensure that the relevant components are not hot. Unleaded fuel Use the correct grade of unleaded fuel only. The use of leaded fuel will result in a substantial reduction in the perfo rma nee of the catalyst. Under no ci rcu msta nces add fuel system cleaning agents for induction into the engine, as the materials may have a detrimental effect on the catalytic converter. Do not allow the vehicle to run out of fuel. If the vehicle does run out of fuel at high speed, possible damage to the catalyst could result. General precautions Tyre service Periodically the balance of each wheel should be checked and corrected if necessary. In the interest of increased tyre life, the wheels may be changed back and forth on any one side_ Do not change the wheels from one side of the car to the other. To ensure the designed hand Ii ng ch aracte ri sti cs of the car are achieved, it is important to maintain the differential in tyre pressures between the front and rear wheels. For full information refer to Chapter R. Under no circumstances should any tyres be fitted which have been branded 'Regraded Quality', 'Remould Quality' or 'Seconds', or those which have had the speed rating removed or altered. Care of tyres Clean any oil or grease from the tyres using a soap solution and water, then rinse off with clean water. Always remove any oil spillage from the tyres immediately as certain oils, in particular hydraulic system mineral oil, have a harmful effect on the tyre rubber if not cleaned off immediately. Chapter S - Body Before using adhesives. paints, primers, thinners, solvents, etc .. refer to Section S3 - Safety procedures. Urethane foam filled cavities The lower 'A' post and 'D' post (from waist downwards) are filled with urethane foam. When using cutting or welding equipment on these areas suitable precautions should be taken not to inhale the toxic gases given off when the temperature exceeds 200" C (392" F). Chapter T - Transmission Torque converter transmission - To remove When removing the transmission from the car always use the retaining clamp RH7952 (J-21 366). otherwise the converter may fal I as the transmission is withdrawn. TSD 4 737 Engine Management Systems Exhaust emission control system The exhaust emission control system is designed to 5/88 Printed in England © Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Limited 1988 Cleaning agents and solvents Throughout this Workshop Manual various cleaning agents and solvents are recommended. The following precautions should be observed in their storage and use. Reference should also be made to the Safety procedures section contained in Chapter S when carrying out work on the items covered in Chapter S. 1. Cleaning agents and solvents should only be used in well ventilated areas. 2. Ensure that cleaning agents and solvents are kept in clean containers. Also ensure that the lids fit securely and are replaced immediately after use. Do not store or carry solvents in open containers. 3. Clearly label all containers. 4. The issue of all solvents should be closely controlled. Containers should be kept in locked storerooms with a responsible person in possession of the key. 5. In the event of a major spi II age, the area should be evacuated and then thoroughly ventilated. 6. Do not dispose of any solvents into open drains. 7. Avoid skin contact as far as possible. If contact is likely, wear PVC gloves and an appropriate barrier cream, such as Rozalex No. 9. 8. Always protect the eyes with goggles if there is any danger of the solvents coming into contact with the eyes. 9. Use solvents sparingly, cleaning only small areas at a time. After use, cloths should be deposited into a closed metal container. 10. Care should be taken when working in an inspection pit to avoid being overcome with the vapours from some solvents i.e. Genklene. These vapours are heavier than air, and therefore collect at low levels. 1 1. Do not smoke in the vicinity of any sdvents. 1 2. Do not allow solvents near any naked flames, hot surfaces, or welding arcs. Genklene Genklene is the I.C.I. trade name for 1 :1 :1trichloroethane. It possesses anaesthetic properties and the inhalation of high concentrations of vapour will ca use drowsiness, head ache, and giddiness. TSO 4700 A3-5 IH,jl ~ Vapours exposed to high temperatures degrade and produce toxic gases {e.g. Phosgene). Important Anyone suffering from over exposure to Genklene vapour should be moved into the fresh air and medical attention sought immediately. Do not walk the patient. Methylated spirit/Petroleum ether The main hazard of methylated spirit or petroleum ether is fire, its low flash point making it easily ignited by heat or flame. Avoid prolonged or frequent contact with the skin as it removes the natural oils, which can lead to dermatitis. Paraffin Prolonged or frequent skin contact with paraffin can cause defatting of the skin, which can lead to dermatitis. Therefore, it should not be used for cleaning the hands. Protective clothing should be worn to prevent contact with the skin, either directly or through contaminated clothing. Paraffin is flammable, therefore, the creation of spray, mist, or vapours, not only increases the fire risk, but also introduces a health hazard. The inhalation of high concentrations, may cause dizziness, headache, and nausea. The vapour is also irritating to the eyes and mucous membranes. Fuel (Petrol) Fuel is a narcotic and inhalation of heavy concentrations of vapour should be avoided. Repeated or prolonged contact with the skin can cause skin disorders. It should not be used for cleaning the skin as it removes the natural oils. Fuel may contain up to 5% of Benzene as an antiknock additive. Benzene is extremely injurious to health (being ca re inogen ic) therefore, a11 contact s ho uId be kept to an absolute minimum, particularly inhalation. Suitable protection should always be used e.g. gloves, aprons, and goggles. Fuel has a sufficiently high vapour pressure to cause a hazardous build-up of vapour in poorly ventilated areas. The vapours are irritant to the eyes and lungs and if high concentrations are inhaled it may cause nausea, headache, and depression. White spirit The major hazard of white spirit is skin irritation, therefore, it should not be used for removing grease. grime, paint. etc., from the skin. Skin contact should be avoided and gloves. aprons, etc., should be worn. If there is any risk of splashes entering the eyes, goggles should be used. White spirit should only be used in well ventilated ereas and unnecessary breathing of the vapours should be avoided. white spirit. the patient should be removed from the hazard, into the fresh air, and medical attention obtained immediately. Handling and disposal of components containing asbestos These notes are provided for the guidance of Service Personnel handling components containing asbestos_ 1. There is no application on current Rolls-Royce or Bentley cars involving the use of free asbestos fibres. All components containing asbestos are produced with the asbestos bonded into a matrix. Asbestos is used in the following components. a. Heat shields. b. Parking brake pads. c. Engine gaskets. d_ Gearbox brake bands. In non-current cars asbestos is also used in service brake pads and Iini ngs and, where applicable, in the brake servo linings. 2. The form of asbestos used in these applications is chrysotile asbestos. 3. When disposing of parts identified as containing asbestos, the following procedure is advised. a. Hard waste, i.e. parts where the asbestos is bonded by a matrix, may be hand led and disposed of with out special precautions [ref. United Kingdom Control of Pollution (Special Waste) Act 19BO]. b. Dust containing asbestos, should be removed by vacuum cleaning. In the United Kingdom the vacuum cleaner must be approved to BSI 5415 Amendment 4, Section 2.2 1976 - Vacuum Cleaner Wet and/or Dry. The bags containing the dust should be disposed of by a method approved by your Local Authority. When cleaning or servicing vacuum cleaners it is necessary to wear an air fed, or approved disposable, mask. Use of a wet cloth for cleaning is advised, which should after use, be disposed of in a similar manner to the asbestos dust. c. It is not recommended to cut, abrade, or machine parts containing asbestos. In the event of it being necessary, dust formation is reduced by wetting of the work piece. hand tools, or low speed tools where possible. Use of local extraction and approved masks is recommended. The extracted material may need to be treated as asbestos dust. 4. Further information regarding the handling of asbestos can be obtained in the United Kingdom from local Health and Safety Offices. Treatment in the event of poisoning In the event of acute poisoning occurring as a result of exposure to methylated spirit, paraffin, petrol, or 5/88 A3-6 Section A4 Specification Audio equipment Cars other than those conforming to an Australian, Japanese, North Americf!n, or South Africfln specification prior to 19 89 model year 19 89 model year 1 Silver Spirit Mulsanne Mulsarrne S 2 Silver Spur Combined radio/ cassette unit Bosch 'Bremen', 'Toronto', or 'New Yark', depending upon the car's specification as 1 radio/ I Combined cassette unit. 3 Bentley 4 Bentley Eight 5 c,m;che Turbo R Comiche II Continents I I as 1 Bosch 'Bamberg' as 1 I - Combined radio/ cassette unit Bosch 'Vancouver as 1 Corn bi ned radio/ cassette unit Bosch · Brerne n' as 1 Combined radio/ cassette unit Pioneer KEH 8800/ZRR - - Combined radio/ cassette LI nit.

Air temperature (blend) flaps form the basis of the system as they are operated by electronic actuators controlled by signals from a micro- processor board. The micro-processor board is fed w ith air temperature information from certain parts of the car and, acting on this information drives the actuators so that the air temperature (blend) flaps are moved into the correct positions to achieve the required in-car air temperature. The upper and lower systems operate independently. The system is operated by four switch controls situated on the facia . The control marked AIR CONDITIONER has six positions and enables four automatic positions or a defrost position to be selected. The system can be switched off by turning the control to the OFF position. The override/recirculation switch marked SCREENFACIA and RECIRC can be used to divert the flow of air from the windscreen to the facia outlets and vice versa, or to obtain in-car air recirculation. The switch controls marked UPPER TEMPERATURE and LOWER TEMPERATURE control the air tern peratu re in the upper and lower systems. Automatic height control system .r\ Hydraulic levelling is achieved by using /J,;;;,,_, suspens ion struts in conjunction with gas , ~ , springs. Alterations to the vehicle weight are 1' supported by the gas springs and the levelling is effected by pumping extra oil (under pressure from the accumulators) into the gas spring and strut assemblies. Automatic speed control system The controls for the automatic speed control system are fitted to the end of the gear range selector lever. The actuator is mounted on the engine. Any cruising speed from 48 km/ h (30 mile/ hi up to speeds in excess of 161 km/h (100 mile/h) may be selected to give satisfactory operation of the system.

The success of this procedure depends upon correct initial preparation, regular inspection, and maintenance. When the car is stored always ensure thatthe battery master switch is turned anti-clockwise to the off position. On cars not fitted with a master switch, disconnect the battery leads. The storage building should be dry and well ventilated. If the building is heated, the temperature must remain constant. On Convertible cars, ensure that the hood is raised with the hood clips securely fastened. Throughout the storage period, the following recommended storage procedure should be carried out every two weeks. Recommended storage procedure 1. Inspect the coolant hoses. If any are found to be defective, report them to the Owner. 2. Check the engine coolant level and top-up if necessary . 3. Ensure that the fluid levels in the engine sump, torque converter transmission, steering pump, final drive unit, and the braking and levelling system reservoirs are to the maximum level marks; top-up if necessary. On Convertible cars, also ensure that the fluid level of the power operated hood reservoir is to the maximum level mark. It must be noted that the braking and levelling systems of the car are filled with hydraulic system mineral oil. When filling or topping-up the reservoirs it is important that the correct oil is used. 4. Check the tyre pressures including the spare and adjust if necessary (See Chapter R). 5. Ensure that all controls, instruments, warning panels, and lamps are operating correctly. 6. Run the car for a minimum of 16 kilometres (10 miles) to ensure complete lubrication of the internal components. 7. Allow the car to cool, then thoroughly wash the exterior bodywork as described in Chapter A. Any damaged paintwork discovered during this operation should be reported to the Owner. 8. On initial storage, apply a good quality cleaner/ polish followed by a good quality wax polish. Also thoroughly clean the carpets and upholstery ; treat all leather upholstery with Connolly's Hide Food. 9. Cover the car with a light cotton or muslin dust sheet. It should be noted that plastic or similar materials must not be used for this purpose as they 5/88 Printed in England © Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Limited 1988 can create condensation which, under certain climatic conditions, can damage the paintwork. 10. Ensure that the tyres a re covered if there is a possibil ity of sunlight penetrating into the storage area. Alternative storage procedures If it is not possible to carry out the recommended storage procedure every two weeks, the following procedures may be adopted though they will not provide the same degree of protection. Storage periods between one and three months Initially, carry out the recommended storage procedure. In addition increase the tyre pressures as follows. Other than Bentley Turbo R cars 2,8 bar (40 lbf/in2). Bentley Turbo R cars 3,5 bar (50 lbf/in 2 ). The pressure of the spare tyre does not need increasing. Storage periods between three and six months Initially, carry out the recommended storage procedure. The fo 11 owing additiona I measures shou Id also be undertaken . 1. Remove the sparking plugs and inject two tablespoons of a corrosion preventive oil into each cylinder. Suitable oils are BP Energol Protective Oil 20 and Castro[ Storage Oil 20. Using the ignition key, crank the eng i ne to distribute the oil over the cylinder walls. Fit the sparking plugs. 2. Clean all chromium plating and stainless steel, then lightly smear with petroleum jelly. 3. Remove, clean, and fully charge the battery. If necessary top-up with distilled water. 4. Jack up the car and place supports under the rear trailing arms and the outer ends of the front lower triangle levers. Do not deflate the tyres. Storage periods exceeding six months The following additional measures to those listed for storage periods between three and six months are recommended. 1. Drain the final drive unit and the engine sump, then fill them to the normal levels with one of the corrosion preventive oils previously quoted. Run the engine for one minute to distribute the oil. 2. Syphon the fuel tank. Do not run the engine to completely drain the system as damage to the fuel pump and catalytic converter (if fitted) could occur. Warning It is most important that prior to working on the fuel system reference is made to the information under the heading Safety procedures. 3, Position a note on the facia stating that the fuel TSD 47DO 82-1 tank is empty and that no attempt must be made to start the engine until the tank contains fuel. 4. Dust the carpets and rugs with anti-moth powder and store them in a dry piace. 5. If the storage building is dry, leave the car windows slightly open. If there is any tendency towards dampness, close the doors and windows and place an anti-moisture compound, such as silica-gel or calcium chloride, in an open metal container inside the car. 6. Every six months, remove, clean, and fu Ily ch a rg e the battery. If necessary top-up with distilled water. Recommissioning procedure Dependent on the procedure adopted the following points are all that should require attention before the car is roadworthy. 1. Lower the car onto its tyres. Check the tyre pressures and adjust if necessary (see Chapter A). 2. Fully charge and fit the battery. If necessary top-up with distilled water. 3. Drain any corrosion preventive oil from the engine sump and final drive unit. Fit a new engine oil filter element and then fill' the engine sump and final drive unit with the approved oils (see Chapter D). 4. Check the engine coolant level and top-up if necessary. 5. Remove the sparking plugs. If the car has not been run every two weeks during the storage period, prime the cylinders with engine oi I. Using the ignition key, crank the engine to distribute the oil and to prevent a hydraulic lock. 6. Clean the sparking plugs and if necessary set the gaps (see Chapter A). Fit the plugs. 7. Ensure that the fluid levels in the engine sump, torque converter transmission, steering pump, final drive unit, and the braking and levelling system reservoirs are to the maximum level marks. On Convertible cars, also ensure that the fluid level of the power operated hood reservoir is to the maximum level mark. It must be noted that the braking and levelling systems of the car are filled with hydraulic system mineral oil. When filling or topping-up the reservoirs it is important that the correct oil is used. 8. On cars other than Bentley Turbo A lubricate the distributor by removing the rotor and applying a drop of clean engine oil to the top of the spindle. 9. lubricate all grease points with approved grease (see Chapter D). 10. If the fuel has been syphoned, fill the tank and start the engine. Check that the engine oil pressure and ignition warning lamps extinguish. Also check for coolant, oil, or fuel leaks. 11. Check the operation of all controls, instruments, warning panels, lamps, and accessories. Note Should the brake pressure warning panels remain illuminated for more than a few minutes after starting the engine, refer to Chapter G. 12. Should the battery leads be disconnected for 4 weeks or longer during the storage period, the front seat adjustment memory function (if fitted) will be lost. If this has occurred, it will be necessary to reactivate the memory by tapping-in the memory code as follows. Warning When the seat memory is reactivated, the seat will move immediately and automatically to a set adjustment position. Take care therefore to avoid contact with the seat when carrying out the following procedure. 13. Ensure that the gear range selector lever is in the park position, then turn the ignition switch to either the ACC or RUN position. 14. Briefly depress one of the seat memory switches (MEM), situated on the centre console, five times. Then, immediately depress the numbered store/recall buttons on the same panel in the sequence 4, 3, 3, 4. 15. To store a selected seat position in the memory proceed as follows. DeprG-ss the switch marked MEM. This will activate the memory which wi II then remain receptive for a period of five seconds. During this period, press one of the four numbered personal allocation switches. The personal seat position data will then be stored in the memory until new data is programmed into the memory by repeating the procedure for a new seat position. 16. To recall the stored seat position press and hold down the personal allocation switch until the seat has reached its programmed position. Seat movement can be stopped at any time by releasing the switch. Seat adjustments that are made using the independent manually operated seat position switches will not affect the memory. Safety procedures In addition to the usual workshop safety procedures note the following. 1. Extreme care must be exercised whenever any work is carried out on the fuel system. Always ensure that the no smoking rule is strictly observed and that there is either a foam, dry powder, or CO2 (carbon dioxide) fire extinguisher readily to hand. 2. Fuel may contain up to 5% of Benzene as an anti-knock additive. Benzene is extremely injurious to health (being carcinogenic) and therefore all contact should be kept to an absolute minimum, particularly inhalation. 3. The fuel system may contain fuel under pressure. Therefore, prior to opening the system (i.e. dis· connecting pipes or unions), disconnect the battery and ensure that the system is depressurized (refer to TSD 4737 Engine Management Systems Manual). Protective clothing including safety goggles, gloves, and a pron sh o u Id be worn at all ti mes by the operator. 4. Fuel has a sufficiently high vapour pressure to cause a hazardous build-up of vapour in poorly ventilated areas. 5. The fuel is irritant to the eyes and skin and any affected parts should be washed immediately with clean water. The fuel vapours are irritant to the lungs 5/88 82-2 ~ ~ and if high concentrations are inhaled it may cause nausea, headaches, and depression. 6. The danger from inhaling exhaust gases cannot be over emphasized. When operating the engine in a confined space or workshop, always ensure that the area is well ventilated. Whenever possible the exhaust gases should be ducted out of the building. Sitting in the car with the car's eir conditioning system operating will not eliminate the denger. 5/88 Printed in England © RoJls-Royce Motor Cars Limited 1988 TSD4700 82-3 Section 83 Shipping precautions When transporting a car overseas always contact a reputable shipping agent to obtain the correct advice and service. The following points should also be brought to the notice of the shipping agent. 1. If it is necessary to syphon the fuel from the tank note the following. Do not run the engine to completely drain the system as d1:1mage to the fuel pump and catalytic converter (if fitted) could occur. Position a note on the facia stating that the fuel tank is empty and that no attempt must be made to start the engine until the tank contains fuel. 2. It is of the utmost importance that service personnel should fully appreciate that the hydraulic systems of the car operate at high pressures and that they are fully conversant with the precautions which mu st be ta ken to ensure correct operation of the systems. Special attention should therefore be given to the items on Special Precautions in Chapters A andG. 3. Ensure that the battery is disconnected and the terminals taped up. 4. Cover all outer chromed parts with masking tape. 5. When the car is shipped in a container, place a bag of silica-gel adjacent to each wheel trim and below each suspension spring. 6.

The exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide (CO), which is odourless and invisible, but very poisonous. Operating the air co nd iti on in g system increases the danger of these gases entering the car. General precautions Before commencing work on the electrical system it is recommended that either the battery master switch be turned to the OFF position or that the battery is disconnected. If the master switch has to be left in the ON position or if the battery is left connected, the gear range selector lever must be placed in the park position and the gearchange isolating fuse (fuse A6) removed from fuseboard F2 at the main fuse board. Then remove the ignition key. Never disconnect the battery or switch off the battery master switch when the engine is running . Always ensure correct polarity when making cable connections. It is recommended that when carrying out tests on the car wiring, a good quality multi-meter is used. Never use generator type meters. Do not use a test lamp on circuitry that contains electronic components, such as the air conditioning system. When working on or in the vicinity of the air conditioning micro-processor, anti-static precautions, in particular the wearing of an anti-static wristband connected to a good earth, must be observed. 6. Refrigerant containers must not be overfilled, increased pressure could cause an explosion. 7. To heat the drum when charging a system, immerse in warm water at a maximum temperature of51°C (124°F) . Never place the drum on a hat surface or attempt to heat the drum by means of a blawlamp, etc. 8. Do not discharge refrigerant in confined spaces or near to exposed flames. Contact with exposed flames can produce a toxic gas. Always keep refrigerant clear of engine air intakes. 9. Excessive heat applied to any part of the refrigeration system will create high pressures within the system. Therefore, welding, soldering, or brazing should not be carried out on the system , or to any adjacent part of the car. First aid - Refrigerant burns If the skin comes into contact with refrigerant, it should be bathed with clean cold water and medical attention sought immediately. Do not apply localized heat, hot dressings, etc. If an eye should become affected by refrigerant, it must be immediately washed with clean cold water. The eye must not be rubbed as this will aggravate the injury. After administering this emergency treatment a doctor shou Id be consulted as soon as possible. Special precautions The refrigerant used in the air conditioning system is dichlorodifluoromethane (Refrigerant 12). It is supplied to the service network in disposable containers or metal drums. When correctly handled the refrigerant is perfectly safe, however, incorrect handling could resutt in injury or accident. The following precautions must always be observed. 1. Do not smoke in the vicinity of refrigerant or a refrigeration system. 2. Always wear safety glasses when working on a refrigeration system . 3. Store refrigerant containers up rig ht and away from direct sunlight. 4. When transporting refrigerant, ensure that the containers are secured, remain upright and away from direct sunlight. 5. Ensure that caps are fitted to drums not in use. 1/87 Printed in England ® Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Limited 1987 TSO 4700 C2-1 Section C4 I~ Electrical test and fault diagnosis Contents Pages Rolls-Royce Silver Silver Spirit Spur Corniche Corniche II Bentley Eight Mulsanne Turbo R Continental C4-3 C4-3 C4-3 C4-3 Introduction C4-3 C4-3 Test procedures using test box RH 9884 C4-3 C4-3 C4-3 C4-3 C4-3 Fan control circuits Wiring diagram and component location C4-6 C4-6 C4-6 C4-6 C4-6 Temperature control circuits Wiring diagram and component location C4·8 C4·8 C4-8 C4-8 C4-8 Test procedures using a multi-meter C4-10 C4·10 C4-10 C4·10 C4-10 Air conditioning microprocessor board C4·13 C4-13 C4-13 C4-13 C4·13 7/89 Printed in England © Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Limited 1989 C4-13 C4-3 C4-13 C4-3 C4-13 TSO 4700 C4-1 Section C4 Electrical test and fault diagnosis Introduction If an electrica I fau It is suspected on the air conditioning system it will be necessary to determine whetherthe fault is in the wiring of the air conditioning system or on the micro-processor board.

If no fault has been found and the air conditioning system circuitry is still faulty, replace the microprocessor board. Air conditioning micro-processor board Handling precautions The micro-processor board and connectors are durable if handled correctly. However, they are vulnerable to stray voltages, wrong polarity and especially static electricity. Therefore anti-static precautions, in particular the wearing of an anti-static wristband connected to a good earth, must be observed at all times. The board is particularly vulnerable before the edge connectors are fined (i.e. before it is earthed). Handling should therefore be kept to a minimum. Boards must be stored in anti-static containers and kept dry and free from grease. Micro-processor board - To remove (see fig. C4-4) 1. Remove fuse A 1 at fuseboard F1. 2. To avoid damage when disconnecting or re-connecting a micro-processor boa rd 18-way plug, it will be necessary to hold the opposite end of the board.

Ensure that the holes in the ball ends are not blocked by dirt, etc. 6. When fitting the push rods reverse the removal procedure . Always ensure that the push rods are returned to their orignal positions and that they are correctly seated in both the hydraulic tappets and the rocker arms. Hydraulic tappets (see fig. E7-1, inset CJ A tappet which is found to be defective in service should be replaced by a complete assembly. Individual components must not be renewed. Where a tappet is noisy but otherwise appears to be serviceable and replacement tappets are not readily available, it is recommended that the tappet is di sma nt Ied and thoroughly washed in clean paraffin. Tappet noise A defective tappet makes a noise like a 'rifle crack'. It is usually caused by one or more tappets collapsing and can be heard with each revolution of the camshaft. This could be caused by dirt which has infiltrated into the tappet(s). in which case the tappetls) should be dismantled and cleaned. If cleaning the tappet does not cure the fault, the tappet should be renewed. To determine a defective tappet, manually depress each tappet in turn whilst the engine is running. The defective tappet can be identified by a change in noise when any 'sponge' in the tappet is taken up. If the noise is not caused by a collapsed tappet!s) one of the following causes should be suspected . 1. Air may have been drawn into the tappets if the engine has been standing for a period of time (i.e. overnight) and one of the tappets may not clear itself. It TSO 4700 E7-1 -- -- -- C A2316 Fig. E7-i Camshaft and 8 -----~:_VvcauJ,ve mechamsm . 12/87 E7-2 is possible that a tappet may not clear even after 30 minutes of hot running. 2 . Occasionally a tappet leaks down too quickly at high temperatures causing a knock. This is really a milder case of the 'rifle crack' failure and should be renewed_ 3. Occasionally a tappet will stick in the bore of the tappet block at high temperatures causing a knock. This wi II show itself by being consistently noisy when the engine is very hot but quiet at other times. Should this situation be encountered (and alt other tappet rectification measures failed to effect a cure). the suspect tappet block should be checked for incorrect crankcase bedding. Lightly smear the seating face with engineers blue and fit the block in the crankcase. If the check proves conclusively that the tappet block bedding is faulty, the crankcase can be scraped to improve the situation. Extreme care must be exercised when carrying out this operation and the minimum amount of metal removed from the crankcase. Tappet wear It should not be necessary to reject tappets due to an appearance of wear on the bottom face of the tappet. The only occasion when rejection may become necessary is if the cam peak on the camshaft is also badly worn . It may cause problems to replace a mildly worn tappet with a new one unless the camshaft is also changed. For this reason only the tappets which are actually causing a problem should be renewed. If it is found necessary to fit a new camshaft to an engine, a complete set of new tappets must also be fitted . Hydraulic tappets - To remove (see fig. E7 -1) 1. Carry out the usual workshop safety precautions . 2 . Remove either the fuel injection system equipment or turbocharging equipment as applicable (refer to Engine Management Systems Manual - TSD 4737) . 3. Dra in the eng ine coolant (see Chapter L). 4. Depressurize the hydraulic systems (see Chapter G). 5. Remove the induction manifold. 6. Progressively unscrew the setscrews securing the tappet chest cover to the crankcase. The setscrews must be removed progressively. If the brake pump operating cams happen to be at their peak, distortion could occur to the tappet chest cover. 7 . Remove the rocker covers. B. Progressively unscrew the setscrews securing the rocker pedestals to each cylinder head . Then. remove the rocker shaft assemblies. 9. Remove the push rods. 10. Withdraw the hydraulic tappets from the tappet blocks (item 7). Hydraulic tappets -To dismantle (see fig . E7-1) 1. Press down the spherical cap situated in the top of the tappet and remove the snap ring holding the cap in. After gradually releasing the pressure from the spherical cap, the tappet can be dismantled (see inset C). 2 . Remove the plunger and valve from the tappet 12/87 Printed in England © Roi Is- Royce Motor Cars Limited 198 7 barrel . Examine the tappet for any signs of wear on its base . Hydraulic tappets -To assemble and prime (see fig . E7-1) In order to obtain the high degree of accuracy necessary for efficient operat ion of the hydraulic tappets, it is essential that extreme precautions are taken when assemb Ii ng the components to ensure comp Iete cleanliness. It is therefore most important that particular attention is given to the following points before commencing the assembly procedure. Due to the highly critical surtaces and dimensions of the hydraulic tappets, great care and cleanliness are of the utmost importance when handling tappet components. If a cloth has to be used , ensure that it is lint free. Ensure that the assembly tank is perfectly clean before adding paraffin. Only clean fresh paraffin must be used . Wash all tappet components in clean paraffin, taking care that the components of each tappet are retained as an assembly and are not interchanged with parts of another tappet. 1. Fit the spring washer (item 12) and valve (item 11) in the retainer (item 13). 2. Using 'finger' pressure, carefully press the retainer assembly onto the spigot of the plunger (item 1 0) . 3. Fit the spring (item 14) onto the retainer assembly. 4. Fit the valve assembly (plunger, valve, spring washer. retainer. and spring), into the tappet barrel (item 15). 5 . Fit the cap (item 9) into the top of the plunger. 6. Us ing an old push rod press the cap downwards until it is possible to fit the retaining snap ring (item 8) into the groove located inside the top of the barrel. 7. Release the pressure. 8 . Submerge the tappet assembly in clean Essa TSO 104 7 rust inhibiting paraffin . 9 . Using a small probe push the valve off its seat. The probe should be carefully positioned through the small hole in the tappet cap and pushed down into the tappet until it contacts the valve. A slight increase in pressure wi II then be required to overcome the spring washer loading and open the valve. 10. Continue to hold the valve open and place a small screwdriver into the cap adjacent to the probe. 11 . Apply pressure to both the probe and screwdriver. Press the cap downwards in the tappet barrel, compressing the spring. Note the ai r bubbles that are expelled from the tappet barrel oil inlet hole. 1 2 . When the air bubbles cease, release the pressure from the cap and valve. 1 3. Repeat Operations 9 to 1 2 inclusive, until the air bubbles have ceased to appear throughout the cycle of operations. 14. Withdraw the probe from the small hole in the centre of the cap. 15 . Again apply pressure to the cap with a small screwdriver.

E12-1 and E12-2) Fit the engine by reversing the procedure given for removal, noting the following. 1. When lowering the engine into position, ensure that the flywheel assembly and rear of the engine do not become trapped against the rear crossmember of the sub-frame. 2. With the front engine mounting setscrews slack, adjust the position of the engine mounting stop plate so that there is a gap of between 1,52 mm and 2,28 mm (0.060 in and 0.090 in), between the bonded rubber strip on the stop plate and the crossmember bracket (see fig. E12-3). The stop plate has elongated holes to allow adjustment. On 1989 model year cars. the dista nee between the engine roll stop plate and buffer on each rear engine mount must be set to between 4,0 mm and 5,5 mm 10.158 in and 0.216 in). To carry out this operation, first slacken the top securing bolts on the mount to be adjusted. Using a soft metal drift, carefully tap the top plate of the mount until the correct setting is obtained (see fig. E12-4). Then, torque tighten the bolts. 3. On four door cars only, when fitting the small dampers adjacent to the rear engine mounts, the damper rods should point downwards. Fit the two tapered rubbers either side of the engine mounting plate bracket with the taper pointing downwards and the large cup washer on top. The two smaller cup washers and rubbers fit on each side of the sub-frame bracket. 4.

Any belts found to be unsatisfactory, should be renewed. If after adjustment, a matched pair of belts have a marked variation in tension, a new pair should be fitted. Always renew both belts in a matched pair, even if only one belt is faulty. Three belt tension loads are specified; a new belt load for replacement (new) belts, a retensioning load for belts which are satisfactory for further service, and a minimum acceptable load, below which the belt should be retensioned. The belt tension must be checked at a point midway between two pulleys (see fig. E13-1), using the Atlas Copco belt tensometer. RH 1221 1. Belt dressing must not be applied to prevent belt slip. Belt tension - To check 1. Ensure that the usual workshop safety precautions are carried out. 2. Ensure that the engine is cold (a warm engine will return a slightly higher belt tension reading). 3. Examine the back of the belt around the mid way point of the span. If any irregularities are found, caused by a join in the fibres. etc., then rotate the engine until the area of belt is acceptable. 4. Belt tension readings should always be taken on one belt only. Therefore, when measuring twin belts the belt blocker should be fitted prior to using the tensometer (see fig. E13-2). 5. Open the jaws of the clamping unit by applying pressure at the two points indicated by the arrows in figure E 13-2. 6. Position the clamping unit at a point midway between pulleys. Release the pressure from the unit. 7. Adjust the small Allen screw on the clamping unit until the unit will only just slide along the belt. 8. Squeeze the trigger on the hand held gauge. The reading displayed on the gauge when the red lamp illuminates, is the belt tension. Repeat this procedure until the readings are consistent. Note this final figure. 9. Remove the clamping unit from the belt. 10. Rotate the engine. 11. Repeat Operations 5 to 8 inclusive. The average of the two noted readings is the drive belt tension. Fig. E13-1 Engine drive belt adjustment and tension checking points Note If the two readings vary by more than 45 N ( 10 lbf), take a third reading a her again rotating the engine. Discard the exceptional value and average the two remaining readings. 12. If necessary, adjust the belt tension as described under the relevant heading. Note Do not adjust the drive belt tension unless it has fallen below the minimum acceptable load. 2/89 Printed in England ~ Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Limited 1989 Fig. E13-2 Clamping unit in position A Belt blocker TSO 4700 E13-1 Drive belts - To renew 1.

A single piece type is fitted to Bentley Turbo R cars, and a rubber jointed type is fitted to cars other than Bentley Turbo R. The single piece propeller shaft incorporates universal joints, fitted onto each end of the shaft. The complete assembly is dynamically balanced to 0, 14g mm (0.125 oz·in) at a speed of 3000 rev/min. If the propeller shaft assembly is dismantled and new universal joints fitted, the shaft should be rebalanced after assembly. If required, a fully balanced assembly can be obtained as a service exchange unit. The rubber jointed type propeller shaft has a rubber fie xi ble coupling fitted to each end of the shaft, together with a spigot flange. The spigot flange fits into a centralizing bush/lip seal. This seal is an interference fit in the shaft. This propeller shaft is balanced prior to assembly to 0, 14g mm (0.125 oz in) at a speed of 3000 rev/min, without the flexible rubber coupling arrangement fined. The transmission output flange and final drive pinion flange vary, dependent upon which type of propeller shaft is fined. Single piece propeller shaft Propeller shaft- To remove 1.

Do not use brake fluids (Castrol RR363, Universal, or any other type). The use of any type of brake fluid, even in very small amounts, will cause component failure necessitating extensive rectification to the braking and levelling systems of the car. Always ensure before fitting any seals, hoses, pipes, etc., that they are suitable for a mineral oil system. For details of correct component identification reference should be made to Section G3 of this Workshop Manual. Always ensure that two sealed containers of hydraulic system mineral oil (LHM) are fitted in the luggage compartment. Always ensure that no foreign matter enters the systems when work is being carried out. This Ch apter covers the components for the two independently power operated braking systems, the levelling system, and the mechanically operated parking brake. In order to protect against claims of liability for hydraulic system contamination, it is recommended that the hydraulic system mineral oil is tested for contamination prior to work being undertaken, preferably in the presence of the owner or his/her representative. The procedure for carrying out the test is described in Section G3. It is i m po rta nt that the test is carried out even when the hydraulic system mineral oil is to be renewed as this will not prevent the deterioration of components which have been in contact with contaminated mineral oil. Hydraulic systems 1. Cars fitted with en anti-lock braking system The braking systems consist of two independent circuits. System 1 operates the rear brakes and levelling. System 2 operates the front brakes only. The Bosch anti-lock brake control system. consists of a speed sensor fitted to each wheel, an electronic control unit (ECU). and a three channel hydraulic modulator. The speed signals from the sensors are continually processed by the ECU. When the brakes are applied, the wheel deceleration, acceleration, and slip are determined by the ECU. Signals from the ECU are fed to the 3-way solenoid valves in the modulator. The modulator then either increases pressure, holds pressure, or decreases pressure to the brake calipers. The rear wheels are controlled jointly, using the 'select low· rear control principle. Failure of the anti-lock braking system is indicsted by an amber warning lamp on the fecia, and does not affect normal braking performance. 2. Cans not fitted with an anti-lock braking system The braking systems consist of t'NO independent circuits. System 1 operates the front brake calipers on the front road wheels, the upper cylinders on the rear road wheel brake calipers, and the rear levelling. System 2 operates the rear brake calipers on the front road wheels and the lower cylinders on the rear road wheel brake calipers. All cars Disc brakes are fitted to all wheels. Pressure for the systems is supplied by two hydraulic accumulators, mounted on the 'A' bank side of the engine, except for the Bentley Turbo R where the accumulators are mounted on the 'B' bank side of the engine. The accumulators are charged by engine operated hydraulic pumps. The hydraulic pump situated in front of the engine air intake manifold supplies hydrau lie mineral oil to the front, vertically mounted accumulator {System 1 ). The hydraulic pump situated at the rear of the engine supplies hydraulic mineral oil to the rear, horizontally mounted accumulator (System 2). Each accumulator sphere is divided into two chambers by a diaphragm, a charge of nitrogen gas being applied and retained in one chamber by the diaphragm. As an accumulator commences to be charged with hydraulic system mineral oil from its hydraulic pump, only a small amount of hydraulic system mineral oil is required to be pumped into the other chamber to raise its pressure to th at oft he in iti a I charge of nitrogen. Hydraulic system mineral oil will continue to be pumped into this chamber against steadily increasing pressure as the diaphragm is lifted, compressing the gas above rt, until the pressure regulator in the accumulator valve housing operates and unloads the hydraulic pump by allowing the hydra u lie system mineral oi I to by-pass back to the reservoirs. The pressure of hydraulic system mineral oil stored in the sphere is maintained by the gas pressing against the diaphragm, the pressure reducing as hydraulic system mineral oil is used, until the regulator allows the pump to recharge the sphere. Spheres similar to those used on the accumulator but with lower nitrogen gas pressure are incorporated into the rear suspension struts, the gas under pressure acting as a spring. Hydraulic system mineral 6/87 TSD 4700 Printed in England Cl Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Limited 1987 G2-3 Fwil ~ oil fed from System 1 accumulator, flows into or out of the suspension strut spheres as varying loads are applied to the car. The quantity is control led by the levelling valve, with hydraulic system mineral oil exhausted from the suspension spheres being retu med to the reservoir. To ensure that the braking system has priority over the rear suspension, a pressure priority valve is incorporated into System 1 high pressure line. If the pressure in the system falls unduly the priority va Ive will close and isolate the suspension system. This a !lows the available pressure to be uti Iised for bra king purposes. Also incorporated into System 1 is a minimum pressure valve. The purpose of th is valve is to retain a predetermined pressure in the rear suspension strut spheres when the engine is switched off and the car u n Ioaded. This retention of pressure reduces the time and amount of pressurized hydraulic system mineral oi I required to fully charge the hydraulic systems upon the initial starting of the engine. A pressure switch is incorporated into both System 1 and System 2 high pressure lines. The function ofthese switches is to illuminate the warning panels situated on the facia when the hydrau lie system(s) pressure falls below acceptable working limits. A seepage return hose is fitted between the minimum pressure v a Ive and the level Ii ng va Ive. Th is seepage return hose a 11 ows the designed seepage within the Ieve 11 i ng va Ive to return to the reservoir. 2.

Do not use brake fluids (Castro! AA363, Universal, or any other type). The use of any type of brake fluid, even in very small amounts, will cause component failure necessitating extensive rectification to the braking and levelling systems of the car. Always ensure before fitting any seals, hoses, pipes, etc., that they are suitable for a mineral oil system. For details of correct component identification reference should be made to Section G3 of this Workshop Manual. Alwaysensure that two sealed containers of hydraulic system mineral oil (LHM)are fitted in the luggage compartment. Always ensure that no foreign matter enters the systems when work is being carried out. Before attempting any work on the hydraulic systems of the car, service personnel must note carefully the contents of this Section and be fully conversant with the precautions required to ensure adequate safety and correct system operation. Also, before fitting any seals, hoses, pipes, etc., always ensure that they are suitable for use with a mineral oil hydraulic system. The hydraulic systems operate at high pressure. Pipes and components must never be removed when the hydraulic systems are in a charged state. Before any work, except a specified test, is carried out on the hydraulic systems, they must be depressurized. All items of hydraulic system equipment should carry identification to show that it is to be used only with hydraulic system mineral oil (colour reference green}. To assist in the identification marking of mineral oil components and equipment, self adhesive labels bearing the logo shown in figure G3-1 are available from the Parts Distribution Centre at Crewe. lf any work is carried out on either reservoir, ensure th at the reservoir tops a re retam pe rp roofed. Refer to Section G7 for details. Hydraulic system mineral oil (LHMI Hydraulic system mineral oil is Green in colour. It is essential that only approved hydraulic system mineral oil is used (see Chapter D- Lubricants). Contamination 9/86 Printed in England © Rolls-Royce Motors limited 1986 Fig. G3-1 Hydraulic system mineral oil logo of mi nera I oi I hydra u Iic systems or com pane nts with any co nventiona I vegetable or synthetic type of brake fluid will cause seals and hoses to deteriorate which could result in eventual brake faults. To avoid contamination all mineral oil containers and components should be stored in a clearly defined area away from that used for coventional brake fluid. Hydraulic system mineral oil can cause damage to tyres. In the event of mineral oil coming into contact with a tyre, damage can be prevented if the mineral oil is removed immediately using a soap solution. Finally, wash the tyre with clean water. Components identification All components which are susceptible to damage from brake fluids are colour coded Green and have GMF prefix part numbers e.g. GMF 1062. Other components in the system which are not susceptible to brake fluid damage (i .e. metal pipes and connectors) are neither colour coded nor do they have a GMF prefix part number. It must be stressed however that these parts must not become contaminated with brake fluid as this could circulate to other components in the hydraulic systems. For details of individual component identification reference should be made to the relevant component Section within this Chapter. Cleanliness For the correct functioning of the hydraulic system, meticulous care should be taken to ensure complete cleanliness at al I times. Since both the braking system and levelling system have components with very fine TSO 4700 G3-3 ~ ~ manufacturing tolerances, the ingress of even very smal I particles of foreign matter could have very serious effects on the operation of the systems. Care must be taken to ensure that at all times, only clean hydraulic system mineral oil is used in the system and that any overhauled units or components are not exposed to contamination during assembly or fitting. Contact with conventional brake fluids must be avoided at all times as these fluids have a detrimental effect on the rubber seals and hoses used in hydraulic mineral oil systems. Hydraulic system mineral oil (LHMJ contamination test kit and procedure The hydraulic reservoirs are considered to be contamination proof. However. if contamination is suspected the following procedure should be adopted. Rolls-Royce Motors have developed a simple test kit and procedure which will allow Franchise Holders to quickly ch eek the mi nera I oi I (LH M) hydra u Iic system for contamination with conventional types of brake fluid i.e. Universal brake flu id, Castro! RR363. Two test procedures have been established. These simple methods of testing the hydraulic system min era I oil (LH M) for contamination have been developed to assist Franchise Holders in the following ci rcu msta nces. 1. To determine the presence of a conventional type of brake fluid i.e. RR363, in hydraulic system mineral oil (LHM) prior to ca rs passing into the workshops. This is to help protectthe Franchise Holder against claims of liability for contamination of the systems. 2. To determine the presence of contamination in cars that have been out in service, prior to the Franchise Holder accepting cars for part exchange or retailing. The following tests do not guarantee that the system has not been contaminated with brake fluid {i.e. RR363, Universe I, or any other type), it is only an indication that brake fluid does/does not appear within the system(s). If brake fluid has been introduced into the system (s) no matter how briefly, no amount of corrective action (draining, flushing out, etc.) except for a complete hydraulic system(s) overhaul (i.e. replacement of seals, hoses), will ensure that damage has not occurred or wi 11 not occur at some future date. Note Once the hydra u Iic system mineral oi I has been tested and proved to be free from contamination, the reservoirs should be tamperproofed and the warning panel fitted. Cleanliness throughout the sampling and testing procedures is of vita I i m po rta nee. Test kit Hydraulic system mineral oil ( LHM) test kit RH2841, can be obtained from the Parts Distribution Centre at Crewe. The kit consists of the fo Ilowing. 1 off Dropping bottle with dye solution. 1 off Test tube rack. 10 off Glass test tu bes with corks. 1 off Photograph depicting the colour for varying degrees of contamination. 1 off Sampling tube. 1 off Set of instructions. First procedure 1. Switch on the ignition and de pressurize the hydraulic systems by pumping the brake pedal until both low pressure warning panels illuminate. Continue to pump the pedal for at least a further 20 applications to ensure that al I the accumulator mineral oil is returned to the reservoir. 2. Clean the area around each hydraulic reservoir top and remove the warning panel. Remove the securing clips attaching the pipes from the reservoirs to the inner longeron. 3. Lift the pipes from the reservoir tops, noting their pas iti on s. Remove the setscrew from the ci rcu la r cover in the top of each reservoir and Iift out the covers. 4. Ensure th at the components in the test kit a re clean and dry. The sampling tubes should be thoroughly cleaned out with petroleum ether (120/160°C). Paraffin or petrol should not be used. 5. Using a small syringe, extract 50 ml of mineral oil from the top and bottom of each reservoir, through one of the sma 11 holes exposed. 6. Place the samples into individual clean dry containers. 7. Shake each sample taken to ensure it is well mixed. Pour 10 m I of each sa m pie into clean test tu bes (do not mix the samples together). 8. Using the dispenser, add two drops of the red dye solution contained in the kit into each 10 m I sample. Cork the test tubes and shake them thoroughly. 9. leave the samples to settle for at least 30 minutes and then examine each sample (refer to Examination of results, in this Section). Workshop procedure (to be carried out when contamination is suspected) 1. Depressurize both System 1 and System 2 accumulators by releasing the internal bleed screw (see Section G9). This procedure returns al I high pressure fluid to the reservoirs. 2. Clean the area around each hydraulic reservoir top and remove the warning panel. Remove the securing clips attaching the pipes from the reservoirs to the inner longeron. 3. Lift the pipes from the reservoir tops, noting their positions. Remove the setscrew from the c i rcu Iar cover in the top of each reservoir and lift out the covers. 4. Ensure that the components in the test kit a re clean and dry. The sampling tubes should be thoroughly cleaned out with petroleum ether (120/160°C). Paraffin or petrol should not be used. 9/86 G3-4 lffii'l ~ 5. Using a small syringe, extract 50 ml of mineral oil from the top and bottom of each reservoir, through one of the sm a 11 holes exposed. 6. Place the samples into individual clean dry containers. 7. The procedure described in Operation 1 has depressurized all components foiward of the minimum pressure va Ive. Thereto re, the gas springs, struts, etc. are still pressurized. To obtain a sample rearward of the minimum pressure valve carry out the following procedure. 8. Bleed off approximately 50 ml at the bleed point situated on the inner right-hand sill, forward of the rear road spring. 9. Ensure that each sample taken is tested. Test procedure for determining hydraulic system mineral oil (LHM) contamination Any cloudiness within a sample taken is an indication of mixed fluids. This is because hydraulic system mineral oil (LHM) and conventional types of brake fluid (Castro I RR363, Universal, etc.) do not mix to give a clear fluid. The following procedure explains the sequence for testing a sample. It should be noted that a test must be carried out on each sample taken. 1. Shake the sample to ensure that it is well mixed. 2. Ensure that the test tube is clean and dry. Then, extract 10 m I from the sample and pour it into the test tube. 3. Using the dispenser, add two drops of the red dye solution. 4. Cork the test tube and shake well. Examination of results On adding the red dye solution and the subsequent mixing, it is possible that the green colour of the mine ra I o i I wi 11 change to e reddish brown. This does not indicate contamination of the hydraulic system mineral oil. Co nta mi nation can only be confirmed by the formation of a cloudy red mass which will begin to sett Ie tow a rd s the bottom of the tu be if Ieft to stand for at least 30 minutes. If the sample in the test tube on addition of the dye turns red but remains clear, it indicates that the sa m pie is not contaminated. The volume of red mass which will eventually settle to the bottom of the test tube indicates the amount of contamination within the hydraulic system mineral oil. Complete separation of the two Iiqu ids may take a considerable amount of time, for example a very small percentage of contamination may take more than seven days to completely separate. If contamination is suspected, but difficult to diagnose, due to the small amount of contamination that may be present, or any doubts exists, conformation should be obtained by sending a sample to Rolls-Royce Motors (if in the United Kingdom) or to a chemical analysis laboratory. Very small percentages {less than 0.5%) of a 9/86 Printed in England © Rolls-Royce Motors Limited 1986 conventional type of brake fluid contaminating the hydra u Ii c system mine ra I o iI is sufficient to cause sea I and component failure. Depressurizing the system Method 1 Switch on the ignition and pump the brake pedal 50 to 60 times until resistance felt at the pedal reduces indicating th at the systems a re dep ressu rized. The facia warning panels should be illuminated (see Section G2). Switch off the ignition. To de pressurize the rear suspension struts, attach a bleed tube to the struts bleed screw. Open the bleed screw and allow the hydraulic system mineral oil to bleed into a clean container until the flow ceases. Method 2 Open the bleed screw on both accumulators and allow sufficient time for the mineral oil pressure to discharge back to the reservoir. These bleed screws are an integral part of the accumulator, the mineral oil being allowed to flow from the accumulator sphere back to the reservoir when the bleed screw is opened (see Section G9). Switch on the ignition and check that the facia warning panels are illuminated {see Section G2). Depressurize the rear suspension struts as described in Method 1. Accumulator and Gas spring spheres The accumulator and gas spring spheres are charged on one side of their diaphragms with nitrogen gas to a pressure of 60 bar to 64 bar (870 Ibf/i n2 to 928 Jbf/i n2 ) and 10,35 bar to 18,63 bar (150 lbf/in2 to 270 Jbf/in 2 ) respectively, prior to despatch from the factory. Each sphere is marked with a band of white paint or with a stick-on yellow label when charged. The charge pressure in bar is stamped on the non-return v a Ive cap at the end of the sphere. A date of manufacture is also marked on each sphere. It is recommended that spheres are stored and issued from stock in date sequence. Bleeding the hydraulic systems Remove fuse A6 from fuse panel F2 on the main fuseboard, to isolate the electric gearchange whilst the systems are bled. Only use hydraulic system mineral oil bleed equipment when bleeding the hydraulic systems. Never connect equipment that has been used for conventional brake fluids to the system. The bleed screws for the accumulators are an i nteg ra I pa rt of the accu mu Iator va Ive housing and a bleed hose connection is not required. Reference shou Id be made to Section G 5 for details of the complete bleeding procedure. When bleeding the hydraulic system, any hydra u Iic system mine ra I o i I that has been sp i It onto the tyres must be removed. The use of a soap solution and a final rinse with clean water is recommended for this purpose. TSO 4700 G3-5 ~ ~ Under no circumstances should hydraulic system mineral oil be allowed to remain on the tyres for prolonged periods as this will cause tyre damage. General information Removing components Prior to disconnecting any pipes or removing hydraulic components from the car, the area around the pipes and components should be thoroughly cleaned. Particular attention should be given to the localized areas around the pipe unions and their corresponding ports. Whenever units, pipes, or components are disconnected from the hydraulic systems all open ports and pipe ends must be blanked off immediately, to avoid contamination of the system. It is stressed that the clean condition of any blanks used is equally as important as the clean condition of the components they seal. Blanks which have been used on cars with conventional brake fluid systems should not be used, unless they have been thoroughly cleaned and all traces of brake fluid removed. Note Masking tape or cork bungs do not constitute blanks. Quantities of blanks may be obtained, on request from the Parts Distribution Centre at Crewe. In addition, special pressure blanks are available, capable of withstanding full hydraulic system pressure. These blanks should be used during testing and fault diagnosis procedures where it may be necessary to blank off a pipe or component and then charge the systems. When fitted these blanks must be torque tightened to the figures quoted for the pipe unions which they replace. Cleaning components The recommended cleaner is petroleum ether ( 120/160°C). 2 ~ .,,, / 5 ,:> C / / I' I / I 3 T806 Fig. G3-2 Hydraulic system mineral oil component identification 1 Brake seal kit container 3 Sealing ring (green paint mark) 4 Brake hose {green stripe} 2 Flexible brake hose (green collar and stripe) 5 Pipe seal (green outer surface) 9/86 G3-6 Components which have been removed sh ou Id be thoroughly cleaned before replacement. Rubber pipes, sealing rings, and other components sh ou Id be washed in petroleum ether ( 120/160°C) and then dried with dry com pressed al r. Meta I pipes req u Iring the rem ova I of undersea I and road dirt from their outer surfaces, may be cleaned with trichlorethylene or paraffin. In such cases, a final cleaning procedure and flushing of the pipe internal bore using petroleum ether (120/160°C) sh o u Id be carried out. Bl ow dry with c Iea n compressed air. Cloths, even the lint free types, should never be used to clean hydraulic components. Servicing equipment All servicing equipment should be clearly marked to indicate the type of hydraulic sytstem for which it is suitable. Under no circumstances should equipment used for conventional brake fluids be used on a mineral oil hydraulic system or component. Only pressure gauges, test, and bleed equipment bearing hydraulic system mineral oil identifications should be connected to a mineral oil system. Storage and transportation The ca re ta ken to pre vent contamination of components during storage or transportation is extremely important. All mineral oil components should be stored in a separate and clearly defined area from that used for conventional brake fluid components. Replacement parts, pipes, and units must be clearly identified and securely sealed with the correct blanks. Blanks should not be removed until immediately prior to fitting; the replacement parts must also be protected from dust and damage. Sea Ii n g rings and rubber pipes in storage shou Id be protecte·d from dust, light, and heat in order to reduce deterioration of the rubber. Where mineral oil components are transported or returned to the manufacturer they should be clearly marked as being for use on mineral oi I hydraulic systems. Hydraulic systems - Filling or topping-up When the hydraulic reservoirs require topping-up or the systems a re completely drained, always fi 11/top-u p with fresh clean hydraulic system mineral oil of the specified type. Refer to Chapter D for the correct specification. After fi Iting the systems, bleed as described in Section G5. Servicing rubber components In the interest of safety, the rubber components used in the hydraulic systems have been allotted specific 'life' mileages at the completion of which or at the nearest service prior to completion it is recommended that the components are renewed. Reference should be made to the Service Schedule Manual publication number TSD 4702 for th is information. 0 n ly rubber components bearing mine ra I oi I identification marks should be fitted to a mineral oil hydraulic system. Under no circumstances must a rubber component for a co nve nti on a I brake flu id system be substituted for the correct component. Fitting replacement units Replacement hydraulic units are tested and blanked off before being despatched from the factory. It is advisable, when fitting a replacement unit, that when the unit has been placed in position and the blanks removed, the mineral oil in the unit is allowed to drain before the pipes are connected. When drained, the pipes shou Id be connected and the appropriate bleeding operations carried out. Note The mineral oil should not be blown out, allowing it to drain is sufficient. 9/86 Printed in England © Rolls-Royce Motors Limited 1986 TSD 4700 G3-7 Section G4 ~ ~ Hydraulic system pipework Bundy tubing is used to carry mineral oil around the hydraulic systems, except where flexible hoses are used to accommodate movement between two units. Flexible hoses are also used on several connections to the reservoirs, plus the levelling valve seepage return hose. The bundy tubing pipework is almost entirely 4,76 mm (0.186 in) diameter, the exceptions being 6,35 mm (0.250 in) diameter and 9,52 mm (0.375 in) diameter. To enable pipe identification, neoprene sleeves are fitted to each end of the meta I pip es, except for the feeds from the reservoirs to the hydraulic pumps and the engine hydraulic pipes (pump to accumulator). A cha rt quoting the pipe colours and functions is given on page G4-2. This chart shou Id be consulted to determine the function of each pipe i.e. high pressure, Iow pressure, and system. Generally, pipework connections are effected by flared pipe ends and unions, either male or female as necessary. Conical seats are machined in the components or junctions to seat the flares and provide effective joints. On the accumulators a different type of connection is used requiring the fitting of a small rubber sleeve (see fig. G4-1). Sealing is achieved by deformation of the rubber when the sleeve nut is tightened. To fit this type of connection the procedure given at the end of this Section should be carried out. In certain flexible pipe joints, face seals (aluminium) and copper washers are employed. A new copper washer and face seal must be fitted whenever the pipe is removed. If hydra u Ii c pipes are disturbed the following points should be noted. The area around the pipe union and pipe end should be thoroughly cleaned before the union is unscrewed. Pipe ends should always be blanked off immediately after removal. The blanks should not be removed until immediately prior to fitting. Whenever pipes are removed, the flares should be inspected for serviceability. Pipes showing signs of damage, cracking, or collapse must be renewed. Before fitting pipes and unions they should be cleaned thoroughly using petroleum ether (120/ 160°C), then blown through with clean dry compressed air. Particular attention should be made to the union and the exterior of the pipe immediately behind the flares. Whenever any work is carried out which disturbs the anti-lock braking system components, the complete system must be checked with the ABS test box before the car is driven (see Section G6). 9/86 Printed in England © Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Limited 1986 Special care must be exercised when removing or fitting any reservoir pipe connections. The pipes are a push-in fit into the reservoir manifold therefore, ensure the swag ed end of the pi pas engage with the nitrite seal. Also, the levelling valve red and yellow coded pipes forming the double coiled pipe assembly, must be connected the correct way round. Th is is; red in the u niori nearest to the front of the car and yellow nearest to the levelling valve operating pivot. These red and yellow coded pipes are secured together using heatsh rink ti es to form the double coi I assembly. When fitting pipes, do not overtighten unions as this could cause damage to pipe flares. If when a pipe is removed the coloured sleeves are in poor condition, they should be renewed. This is best achieved by expanding a new correctly coloured rubber sleeve sufficiently to clear the union, using a small three pronged expanding hand tool (i.e. Penguin pliers). Identification sleeves are not fitted to the flexible hoses but the sleeves on the connecting pipes at either end may be used to identify the flexible pipe and its function. The fie xi bl e and meta I pipes can be readily i de ntifi ed by means of the colour coding and component location layouts {see Section G2). Also refer to the function chart shown on page G4-2. Note The two high pressure pipes from the hyd rau Iic pumps to the hydra u I ic accu mu Iato rs and the feeds from the reservoirs to the hydraulic pumps are not marked and do not connect to any other marked pipes. Since these pipes are the only ones without means of identification confusion should not arise. Extreme caution sh ou Id be ta ken when fitting or renewing flexible pipes to ensure th at the correct type of pipe is fitted, in the correct location, and in accordance with the colour coding. In the interest of safety, the flexible pipes fitted to the hydraulic systems have been al lotted specific 'life' mileages at the completion of which or at the nearest service prior to completion, it is recommended that the flexible pipes are renewed. For recommended 'life' mileages reference should be made to the Service Schedule Manual, publication number TSO 4 702. When renewing flexible pipes and hoses, only those conforming with hydraulic system mineral oil requirements and bearing mineral oil identification marks should be fitted (see fig. G3-2). Under no circumstances must any other type of flexible pipe or hose be fitted. TSD 4700 G4-1 When removing rigid or flexible pipes, the positions of all clipping points and pipe routing should be noted to ensure that, when fitted, no chafing or vibration of the pipes can occur. Always ensure that the flexible hoses and rigid pipes are routed to clear other components and that clearance is maintained during the full range of steering and suspension movement. In the event of replacement pipes being required, it is recommended that they are produced using 'Armco' 25 microns zinc plated, fully chromate passivated and/or green polymer coated bundy tubing. Care should be taken to avoid sharp bends when producing replacement pipes as this could cause the plating/ coating to fracture. A hydraulic pipe manufacturing kit AH 12043 is available (see Section G23). Note The pipe connection tappings on the front road wheel brake calipers, accumulators, modulator (if fitted), and levelling valve, have a metric thread form. Therefore, care should be taken when producing replacement pipes to ensure that the correct type and standard of pipe nut is fitted. All pipes must be thoroughly cleaned using petroleum ether (120/160"C) and dried using clean compressed air. The ends should then be blanked until immediately prior to fitting. Torque tighten all pipe unions and fittings, referring to either Section G22 or Chapter P. After fining of replacement pipes they should be leak checked and then coated with undersea I if they are in an exposed area. Rubber sleeve pipe connection - To fit (see fig. G4-1) A. Slide the rubber sleeve onto the pipe until it abuts the collar. B. Insert the small end of the pipe into the close fitting bore at the bottom of the threaded connection port. C. Cerefully centralize the pipe in the bore and screw in the sleeve nut until it abuts the pipe collar. D. Torque tighten the nut to the figures quoted in Section G22. Note The rubber sleeve must be renewed each time the pipe is disconnected. It is important that the torque figures quoted in Section G22 are not exceeded as damage to the pipe end could result. This will cause pipe restriction and difficulty in withdrawing the pipe end from the connection bore.

Failure to observe this warning will result in contamination of the hydraulic systems, necessitating extensive and expensive rectification. Introduction In order to obtain optimum performance of the hydraulic systems, it is essential that they are free of air at a 11 times. The two hydraulic systems are recirculatory and therefore, if air is allowed to enter them at any point it will reduce the efficiency. Bleed screws are provided on the side of the accumulators, on the brake calipers, on the suspension struts, and on the deceleration conscious pressure limiting valve. On 1989 model year cars, bleed screws are also incorporated at the pressure switches. The accumulator bleed screws are an integral part of the valve housing and do not require the connection of a bleed pipe during the bleeding operation. The bleed screw for the suspension struts is situated on the righthand sill forward of the rear road spring. The accumulators are situated on the front righthand (' A' bank) side of the engine except for the Bentley Turbo R, where the accumulators are mounted on the left-hand ('B' bank) side of the engine (see fig. G5-2). The accumulator for the number one system is vertically mounted and the number two system accumulator horizontally mounted. The two hydra u lie system mi nera I oi I reservoirs a re situated on the left-hand side of the engine compartment. Anti-lock braking systems The inboard hydraulic reservoir supplies hydraulic system mi nera I oi I for the number one system. From the reservoir, mineral oil is supplied to the front brake pump, which in turn supplies hydraulic system mineral oil under pressure to the vertically mounted accumulator, upper distribution valve, end the rear brakes and levelling. The outboard reservoir supplies hydraulic system mineral oil for the number two system. From the reservoir, mineral oil is supplied to the rear brake pump which in turn supplies hydraulic system mineral oil under pressure to the horizontally mounted accumulator, the lower distribution valve, and front brakes. 6/88 Printed in England © Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Limited 1988 Non anti-lock braking systems The inboard hydraulic reservoir supplies hydraulic system mineral oi I for the number one system. From the reservoir, mineral oil is supplied to the front brake pump, which in turn supplies hydraulic system mineral oil under pressure to the vertically mounted accumulator, the upper distribution valve, the front brake calipers on the front wheels, the upper cylinders of the rear brake calipers, and the rear suspension struts. The outboard reservoir supplies hydraulic system mineral oil for the number two system. From the reservoir, mineral oil is supplied to the rear brake pump which in turn supplies hydraulic system mineral oil under pressure to the horizontally mounted accumulator, the lower distribution valve, the rear brake calipers on the front wheels and the lower cylinders of the rear brake calipers. When a rectification has been carried out between the brake pumps and the distribution va Ives, or Ieve II i ng valve, it wil I be necessary to bleed at al I the bleed points in that particular circuit. However, if a rectification has been carried out between the distribution valves and the brake calipers, it should only be necessary to bleed at the bleed points between the distribution valve and the calipers in the faulty circuit. Whenever in doubt it is advisable to bleed the complete system. The power brake circuits should be bled at low pressure, ensuring that the systems are depressurized and the mineral oil levels in the reservoirs are kept up to the black line on the sight glass, at all stages of the bleeding operation. To obtain low pressure bleeding of the system(s), depress the brake pedal and open the relevant bleed screw before starting the engine and running it at 1000 rev/min. This ensures the accumulator remains at low pressure. Throughout the bleeding operation, the brake pressure warning panels should be illuminated (see Section G2). Only when bleeding the suspension struts should the systems be fully pressurized and the warning panel lamps extinguished. When bleeding the suspension struts, the interior of the car should be weighted to compress the suspension sufficiently for the levelling valve to actuate, thus allowing pressurized mineral oil to flow to the suspension struts and bleed screw. The engine should be allowed to run for four minutes prior to bleeding, to ensure the systems are fully charged. Bleed the suspension struts until all the bubbles have been expelled then allow fifteen seconds to elapse before fully tightening the bleed screw. Bleeding the systems The following information is a comprehensive bleeding operation which shou Id be carried out to ensure removal TSO 4700 G5-1 of air from the complete hydraulic systems. However, as previously stated, each system can be bled separately at all points downstream of any replacements or pipe disconnections (refer to Sectional bleed requirements). However, if any doubt exists, it is advisable to bleed the complete system concerned. Whilst bleeding is being carried out, it is essential that the mineral oil level in the two reservoirs is kept to the black line on the level indicator sight glass, using clean hydra u Iic system mineral oil. Reference should be made to Chapter D for approved types. All bleed screws should be torque tightened in accordance with the figures quoted in Section G22. When bleeding the hydraulic systems ensure that only equipment suitable for hydraulic system mineral oil is used. See Warning on page G5-1. Anti-lock braking systems (see figs. G5-1 and G5-2) Attach a length of bleed tube to each bleed screw prior to the bleed screw being opened. Immerse the free end of the tube in approximately 25 mm (1 in) of hydraulic system mineral oil contained in a clean bottle. Bleed tube attachment is not necessary when bleeding the accumulators, as bleeding is effected internally through the accumulator valve housing, the mineral oil being allowed to flow back to its respective reservoir when the bleed screw is released approximately one revolution (see Section G9). With the gear selector in the park position and the parking brake applied the following sequence of operations should be carried out, after first noting the following. System 1 bleed points are A, C, F, H, G, I, and J (plus L for 1989 model year cars). System 2 bleed points are B, D, and E (plus K for 1989 model year cars). When bleeding the suspension struts extra care shou Id be taken when slackening the bleed screw as the system will be operating at full pressure. Any hydraulic system mineral oil that has been spilt onto the tyres must be removed. The use of a soap solution and a final rinse with clean water is recommended for this purpose.

The speed signals from the sensors are continually processed by the ECU. When the brakes are applied, the wheel deceleration and slip is determined by the ECU. Signals from the ECU are fed to the 3-way solenoid valves in the modulator. The modulator then either ho lds pressure, decreases pressure, or allows pressure to increase to the brake calipers. The rear wheels are controlled jointly, using the 'select low' control principle. Failure of the antl-lock braking system is indicated by a warning lamp on the facia, and does not affect no rm a I braking performance. A ch eek for transient malfunctions of the system can be carried out by switching off the ignition and then restarting the engine. Continued illumination will need to be checked as described later in this Section. Whenever any work is carried out which disturbs the anti-lock braking system components, the complete system must be checked with the ABS test box before the car is driven (see Anti-lock braking system - To test). Wheel sensors If any of the wheel speed sensors are found to be defective and need to be replaced, refer to either Chapter H (front hub} or Chapter J (rear hub) for the removal procedure. Electronic control unit (ECU) The electronic control unit situated in the luggage compartment, is mounted on the left-hand side rear wheel arch. Access to the ECU is gained by removing the left-hand side trim panel. Hydraulic modulator The hydraulic modulator is located in the engine compartment forward of the left-hand side suspension spri ng cover (see fig. G6-1 ). The modulator consists of three solenoid valves {one for each front wheel, and one for the rear axle). These valves are actuated by the electronic control unit (ECU). Whenever any work is carried out on the modulator, it is important to note the p ipe connec~ions and return them to the same positions (see fig . G6-2 and Section G2). The modulator is a non-serviceable assembly, therefore if a fault is found, t he complete assembly should be removed and a new one fitted. 6187 Printed in England © Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Limited 1 987 Fig. G6·1 Hydraulic modulator 1 Electrical plug 2 3 Flexible mount Modulator relay - 1 9 8 7 mcx:lel year cars. From 1988 model year the mcx:lulator relay is repositioned in the luggage compartment Precautions lf any work is carried out on a car equipped with an anti-lock braking system, the following points should be observed. 1. Before any welding is carried out on the car, the electrical connection to the ECU shou ld be disconnected. 2. If force drying is to be used after spraying the car, remove the ECU. 3. Always ensure the battery connections are secure. 4. In the event of accident damage or failure of any part in the system, the only serviceable items are. a. ECU b. Relays (ABS and modulator) c. Hydraulic modulator d. Wheel speed sensors. Hydraulic modulator - To remove 1 . Depressu rize the hydra u lie systems as described in Section G3. 2. Disconnect the battery. 3. Ensure the modulator and surrounding area is thoroughly clean . 4 . Disconnectthe hydraulic pipes from the modulator and blank the open ports and pipes. 5. Slide the electrical plug upwards from the modulator. Disconnect the main loom connections TSD 4700 G6-3 from the plug, noting the cable colours and positions. 6. Slacken the nuts securing the modulator to the mounting bracket. Litt the modulator clear of the bracket, taking care to avoid damaging the hydraulic pipes. Hydraulic modulator- To fit To fit the hydraulic modulator, reverse the procedure given for removal noting the following. 1. If a new modulator is to be fitted, the rubber mounts must be transposed from the modulator removed. 2. Alt nuts and setscrews must be torque tightened to the figures quoted in Section G22 and Chapter P. 3. Bleed the system (see Section G5). Anti-lock braking system- To test The anti-lock braking system electronic control unit (ECU) has a self-check programme which is activated whenever the car is operating. Any fau It detected wil I cause the system to switch itself off, indicated by illumination of the ANTI LOCK warning panel on the facia. Before the system is checked with the test box (see fig. G6-3}, switch off the ignition and then restart the engine. If the warning panel is still illuminated, proceed as follow!:, referring also to the Electrical Manual TSD 4701. Section 9. 1. Ensure the ignition ii. switched off and then disconnect the electrical harness plug from the electronic control unit in the luggage compartment. 2. Connect the 35-way connector lead from the test box ( Bosch ABS2 LED KDAS 0003), to the harness plug removed. All tests are carried out with the ignition switch ON. The ignition must be switched off before removing or replacing the multi-pin plug to thP. ECU. The car must not be driven with the test box connected. Note The electronic control unit is not checked. The test box checks the following system components. a. Hydraulic modulator b. Valve relay c. Wheel speed sensors d. Warning lamp e. Cable harness f. Connectors g. Earth connections h. Brake lamp switch signal i. Alternator signal. Description of test box symbols The test box obtains supply voltage from the car's battery. This supply voltage is monitored during the entire testing sequence and in all programme switch settings. One light emitting diode (LED) is constantly illuminated {1) to indicate that the voltage is sufficient.

(approximately 1 to 2 mm {0.040 to 0.080 in)). Never allow the mineral oil level to fall below the minimum level (e.g. top of the green indicator tube below the bottom of the indicator sight glass). 5. Check for leaks, especially around all pipes. connections, etc.• which have been disturbed. 6. The hydraulic systems must then be bled completely as described in Section G5. 1187 TSO 4700 Printed in England G7-3 if> Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Limited 1987 Section GB Hydraulic pumps Introduction The mineral oil hydraulic pumps can be distinguished from those using conventional brake fluid, in that each pump has a green disc fitted beneath the top adapter {see figs. G8-1 and GS-2). Internally the mineral oil pump has a larger diameter plunger than the pumps using RA 363 brake fluid. Also, the seals are made of material that meets mineral oil requirements. The brake pump push rod has a collapsible section of increased diameter. The top edge of the push rod is chamfered for indentification purposes (see fig. GB-1 ). Never fit a brake pump push rod from a conventional (RR 363) brake fluid system as a replacement. When overhauling a mineral oil brake pump always ensure that sealing rings bearing mineral oil identification marks are fitted (see Section G3). Hydraulic pump housing sealing rings - To renew {see fig . GB-2) If hydraulic system mineral oil leakage occurs from a brake pump housing, it is possible to renew the two sealing rings with the pump in position. 7. Depressurize the hydraulic systems as described in Section G3. 2. Ensure that the pump and surrounding area is thoroughly cleaned. 3.

One method of achieving th is is to screw slave adapters or pipe nuts down the threads before thoroughly cleaning the components in petroleum ether ( 120/160°C), and drying with dry compressed air, not with any type of cloth. It is important that the seating of the valves is correct and that the finely machined barrel and plunger are not scored or damaged. Under normal circumstances after a thorough cleaning and the introduction of a new set of sealing rings, the only parts that might need renewal are the small coil springs. Hydraulic pump - To assemble (see fig. G8-2) Ensure that all sealing rings used, are for use with hydraulic system mineral oil. 1. lubricate all parts including the sealing rings with an approved hydraulic system mineral oil (see Chapter D), prior to fitting in their respective positions. 2. Fit the small 'O' ring into position in the centre bore of the pump body. 3. Insert the plunger barrel into the pump body, pressing it through the sealing ring until it abuts the shoulder. 4. Insert and locate the spacer ring; fit the valve spring (crowned face towards the inlet valve), and the inlet valve into position adjacent to the barrel head. Ensure that the seating face of the valve is free from damage marks, otherwise the efficiency of the pump will be reduced. 5. Assemble the non-return valve, by reversing the procedure given for dismantling. Ensure that the valve is fully seated and the circlip is correctly located in its groove. The end stop should be drawn upwards to abut the circlip. 6. Fit the non-return valve assembly, larger diameter leading, into the pump body adjacent to the spacer ring. 7.

Blank oft the adapter. 9. Fit the coil spring into the lower end of the pump body. 10. Fit the spring to the barrel plunger and carefully insert the plunger into the bore of the barrel. 11. Depress the plunger against spring pressure sufficiently to enable the circlip to be fitted into its location. • 12. Fit the two 'O' rings to the outside of the pump body, after lubricating with suitable mineral oil (see Chapter D}. 13. Fit the pump outer housing with care. Press the housing firmly into position, then fit the circfip. Note The front pump outer housing inlet port faces downwards, the rear pump inlet port faces upwards. 9/86 G8-2 Hydraulic pump- To fit To fit the pumps to the tappet cover, reverse the procedure given for removal noting the following. 1. Using the special box spanner RH 8428, torque tighten the pumps to the figures given in Section G22. Note The top adapter must not be used as a spannering point. 2. Bleed the hydraulic systems as described in Section G5. Check a 11 disturbed pipe connections for leaks. Hydraulic pumps- To test (on the car) 1. Depressurize the system as described in Section G3. 2. Disconnect the accumulator to reservoir return pipe from the appropriate reservoir. Attach a tube onto the end of the pipe and secure the other end of the tube in a clean measuring vessel. 3. Open the bleed screw on the accumulator. 4. Ensure that the appropriate reservoir is fu II and then start the engine. 5. Hyd rau Iic system mi nera I oi I shou Id flow from the tube in a series of spurts, coinciding with each revolution of the camshaft. The rate of flow should be approximately 300 ml per minute, at an engine speed of 1000 rev/min. 6. If hydraulic system mineral oil does not flow, or the pumped quantity is below requirements, the pump shou Id be removed and overhauled. 9/86 Printed in England © Rolls--Royce Motors Limited 1986 TSD 4700 GB-3 Section G9 Hydraulic accumulators Introduction The hydraulic accumulators are mounted at the front of the crankcase, on the 'A' bank side of the engine. The only exception being the Bentley Turbo R, where the accumulators are mounted at the rear of the crankcase, on the 'B' bank side of the engine. The front accumulator (vertically mounted) supplies the No. 1 Hydraulic system; the rear accumulator (horizontally mounted) supplies the No. 2 Hydraulic system. Both accumulators have an internal bleed screw incorporated into the valve housing. Bleeding or depressurizing an accumulator is achieved by slackening the bleed screw (see figs. G9-1 and G9-2), approximately on~ full turn. This allows the hydraulic system mineral oil to return internally through the valve housing to its respective reservoir. In the event of an accumulator failure, a sphere, accumulator valve assembly, and 'O' rings can be obtained as individual items. Alternatively, a complete accumulator can be obtained. Prior to despatch from the manufacturer, all spheres are charged to a pressure of between 60 bar and 64 bar (870 lbf/in 2 and 928 lbf/in 2 ). The charge pressure (in bar) is stamped on the screw head located at the top of the sphere. Whenever a sphere is found to be below a working pressure of 31 bar (450 lbf/in 2 ) a replacement sphere must be fitted. Never attempt to recharge a sphere. Hydraulic accumulator sphere - To renew whilst in position (see figs. GS-1 and G9-2) On cars other than the Bentley Turbo R, to remove the sphere from No. 2 system the sphere from No. 1 system will have to be removed first. On Bentley Turbo R cars to remove the No. 2 system sphere, the complete accumulator of No. 1 system will have to be removed, refer to Hydraulic accumulator - To remove. 1. Depressurize the hydraulic system(s) as described in Section G3. 2. Carefully hold the valve body of the accumulator. Then, using a suitable chain wrench located around the circumference of the sphere, unscrew and remove the sphere from the valve housing. Disca rd the sealing ring (see fig. G9-3). 3. Locate a new sealing ring lubricated with clean hydraulic system mineral oil into the valve body. 4. Fit the new sphere to the valve body and torque tighten to the figures quoted in Section G22. 5. After fitting the sphere, top-up the reservoir(s} with a recommended hydraulic system mineral oil (see Chapter D). With the engine running, check for leaks. 6. Test the accumulator(s) as described in Hydraulic accumulator- To test. 9/86 Printed in England © Rolls-Royce Motors Limited 1986 10 9 8 7 6 A1541 Fig. G9-1 Hydraulic accumulators (excluding Bentley Turbo RI 1 Low pressure return to reservoir 2 Accumulator (No. 2 system) 3 High pressure inlet from pump 4 Accumulator (No. 1 system) 5 Low pressure return to reservoir 6 Bleed screw 7 High pressure outlet to upper distribution valve and suspension struts 8 High pressure in let from pump 9 High pressure outlet to lower distribution valve 10 Bleed screw 7. Bleed the hydraulic system(s) as described in Section G5. Hydraulic accumulator-To remove It should be noted that the high pressure pipe connections on the accumulators are of the rubber sleeve type (see Section G4). All pipes and ports should have blanks fitted when disconnected. 1. Depressurize the hydraulic system as described in Section G3. 2. Disconnect the high pressure outlet pipe (red or orange) from the accumulator and connector block; remove the pipe. 3. Disconnect the high pressure inlet pipe from the accumulator. Note On all cars except the Bentley Turbo R when removing a front accumulator it will be TSD 4700 G9-1 necessary to detach the outlet pipe from its mounting bracket. This allows the inlet pipe to be withdrawn from the accumulator port. 4. Fit a hose clamp to the hose of the accumulator return pipe. This prevents the flow of hydraulic system mineral oil from the reservoir. 5. Unscrew the worm drive clip on the accumulator return pipe connection and withdraw the hose from the accumulator. 6. Remove the setscrew from the mounting bracket at the end of the accumulator. 7. Support the accumulator, then remove the two remaining securing bolts. Lower the accumulator from the engine.

Remove the accumulator as described under Hydraulic accumulator - To remove. 2. Carefully hold the valve housing in a vice. Using a suitable strap spanner located around the circumference of the sphere, unscrew and remove the sphere from the valve housing. Discard the sealing ring (see fig. G9-3). 3. Remove the setscrew securing the connection valve retaining plate (see item 3). Remove the plate and valve ball. 4. Remove the bleed screw and ball (see item 1). Remove and discard the 'O' ring from the bleed screw. 5. Position the valve housing onto a press and depress the spring retaining plug (see item 2) sufficiently to allow the snap ring to be removed. 6. Release the pressure on the retaining plug and remove the plug, adjusting washers (if fitted), spring, and spring retainer. Remove and discard the 'O' ring from the retaining plug. 7. Remove the connection valve (see item 3). The valve can only be removed from the sphere end of the housing. 8. Position the housing onto a press with the cut-out spring housing (see item 4) located under the spindle. Apply sufficient pressure to retain the housing when the retaining screws are removed. 9. Remove the screws and carefully ease off the pressure. 10. Remove the spring housing, adjusting shims (if fitted), spring, spring seating, and the cut-out valve. The cut-out valve contains a stop ring and therefore can only be removed in the direction of the cut-out chamber. Remove and discard the sealing ring from the cut-out chamber. 11. Thoroughly clean al I components with petroleum ether (120/l 60°C). Dry with dry compressed air. Do not use any type of cloth. Accumulator valve housing assembly - To assemble (refer to fig. G9-4) During assembly, ensure that all components are handled with care. Also, meticulous care must be taken during assembly to ensure that complete cleanliness is maintained. 1. Fit a new 'O' ring to the bleed screw (see item 1 ). 9/86 G9-2 Inspect the ball and if not damaged, place the ball onto its seating. If the ball is damaged, replace with a new one. Screw in the bleed screw; do not overtighten. 2. Lubricate the connection valve (see item 3) with clean hydraulic system mineral oil and then fit the valve into the body ensuring that it slides into position. 3. Fit a new 'O' ring to the spring retaining plug (see item 2). Fit the spring retainer, spring, adjusting washers (if previously fitted), and the spring retaining plug. Position the retaining plug under a press and depress the plug sufficiently to enable the snap ring to be fitted. Remove the valve housing from the press. 4. Inspect the connection valve ball (see item 3) and if not damaged place the ball onto its seating. If the ball is damaged, replace with a new one. Fit the connection valve retaining plate (see item 3) and secure with the setscrew. 5. Inspect the cut-out valve (see item 4) to ensure that the stop ring is fitted. Lubricate the cut-out valve with clean hydraulic system mineral oil and then fit the valve into position. 6. Fit a new sealing ring (see item 4) into the cut-out chamber. Position the valve housing onto a press and then fit the spring seating, spring. adjusting shims ( if previously fitted) and spring housing. Apply sufficient pressure onto the spring housing to enable the two retaining screws to be fitted. Aher tightening the screws remove the valve housing from the press. 7. Lubricate a new sealing ring (see item 5) with clean hydraulic system mineral oil and then fit the ring into position. 8. Fit the sphere to the valve body and torque tighten to the figures quoted in Section G22. 9. Fit the accumulator(s) as described under Hydraulic accumulator - To fit. Hydraulic accumulator - To test 1. Depressu rize the hydrau lie system as described in Section G3. 2. Fit the pressure gauge RH9727 into the service points of the relevant system by means of a suitable high pressure pipe. The service points are shown in Section G5. 3. Start the engine. The gauge needle should immediately rise to approximately 62 bar (900 lbf/in2 ) on a new sphere, indicating the nitrogen gas pressure in the accumulator sphere. The pressure should then slowly rise to between 165 bar and 180 bar (2393 lbf/in• and 2610 lbf/in'). At this pressure the accumulator cut-out valve should actuate and the pump cease to charge the accumulator. 4. After the cut-out pressure has been reached, note the pressure to which the gauge settles. This settling takes up to one minute and the pressure should not be more than 10 bar (150 lbf/in 2 ) below the cut-out pressure. The pressure should then remain steady unless the brake pedal is applied or the levelling system actuated. 5. Fit a bleed tu be onto the bleed screw of the gauge Al54~ Fig. G9-3 Hydraulic accumulator with sphere removed connecting pipe. Open the bleed screw and allow the pressure gauge reading to fall. When the pressure has fallen to between 140 bar and 155 bar (2030 lbf/in2 and 2248 Ibf/in 2 ) the accumulator control valve shou Id allow the hydraulic pump to recharge the accumulator. 6. If, on first starting the engine, the pressure gauge needle fluctuates violently, rapidly climbs to 172 bar (2500 /bf/in 2 ) and then immediately falls to zero on application of the brake pedal, complete loss of nitrogen gas pressure from the accumulator sphere is indicated. 7. In the event of the nitrogen gas pressure of the accumulator being less than 31 bar (450 lbf/in•) (refer to Operations 3 and 6) the accumulator sphere must be renewed. 8. If the cut-in and cut-out pressures of the accumulator are outside the limits quoted in Operations 3 and 5 the accu mu lator valve assembly must be renewed. 9. If the pressure continues to fal I after the accumulator has reached the cut-out pressure of between 165 bar and 180 bar (2393 lbf/in2 and 2610 lbf/in 2 ) and then settles, an internal leak is indicated. 10. If observations of the gauge show that the pump is still pumping (needle fluctuating with the pump pulses) without giving a rise in pressure, then there is a leak equal to the pump flow at that pressure. Pump 'cut-out' indicated by the change in the audible note of the pump, can be heard if the end of the engine dipstick is placed on top of the pump and used as a hearing aid. To verify an accumulator internal leak, depressurize the system and remove the gauge from the service point. Secure the service point to withstand hydraulic pressure. The following action separates the accumulator from the rest of the system and allows the 9/86 TSD 4700 Printed in England © Rolls-Royce Motors Limited 1 986 G9-3 ;.1544 Fig. G9·4 Accumulator valve housing assembly 1 Bleed screw, 'O' ring, and seating ball 2 Valve housing, retaining plug, and associated components 3 Connection valve and associated components 4 Cut-out housing and associated components 5 'O' ring -Accumulator valve housing to sphere 9/86 G9-4 accumulator and hydraulic pump to be checked thoroughly. Disconnect the 'accumulator to frame' high pressure steel braided hydraulic hose from the junction block located at the engine end. Blank off the steel braided hydraulic hose. Fit the pressure gauge RH9727 into the junction block. Start the engine and observe the pressure. If the symptoms persist (check that the accumulator bleed screw is sealing correctly), the accumulator valve assembly has an internal leak and the valve assembly should be renewed. If however, the gauge now behaves correctly and the pump can be heard to cut-out, the leakage is occurring downstream and a component isolating procedure should be undertaken. The component isolating procedure necessary to locate the fault, consists of depressurizing the systems, then removing or blanking off the pressure feed to the various components in turn and repeating the test procedure. The pressure feeds to the components can be readily identified from the colour coding chart (see Section G4). Note Always ensure that the mineral oil in the reservoirs is just below the black line on the indicator sight glass at all times during the test procedure. When a unit has been blanked off, before removing the blank, the systems must be depressurized either by continuous system operation with the engine switched off, or by bleeding the appropriate accumulator until it is depressurized. After tests have been carried out involving blanking off of components, all blanks should be removed and the components reconnected. The systems shou Id then be bled in accordance with the information given in Section GS. 9/86 TS04700 Printed in England G9-5 © Rolls-Royce Motors Limited 1 986 Section G10 Deceleration conscious pressure limiting valve Introduction The deceleration conscious pressure limiting valve is non-adjustable and must not be serviced other than for the renewal of valve seals. If a valve is found to be faulty and renewal of the valve seals does not rectify the problem, it will be necessary to fit as a replacement, a complete deceleration conscious pressure limiting valve. On cars fitted with an anti-lock braking system, the deceleration conscious pressure limiting valve is mounted on the left-hand side of the car, rearward of the central crossmember. On cars not fitted with an anti-lock braking system, the valve assembly is mounted at the rear of the brake actuation assembly. To enable the valve to be identified as a hydraulic system mineral oil component, the body of the valve is coloured green and a green identification tab is fitted to the valve bleed screw. Under no circumstances should a complete valve assembly or seals for use with conventional brake fluid (i.e. RR363) systems be fitted, as a replacement. During dismantling and assembly, cleanliness of components is of the utmost importance. Deceleration conscious pressure limiting valve - To remove 1. Place the car on a ramp. 2.

In order to identify valves suitable for use with hydraulic system mineral oil the valve body and end plug are painted green. Under no circumstances should a distribution valve designed for use with a conventional brake fluid system be fitted as a replacement. The distribution valves are situated one above the other within the brake actuation linkage assembly. They operate when the footbrake is applied through a linkage and balance lever arrangement (see fig. G12·1). Both valves are identical in operation but have differing mounting points and pipe arrangements. Corresponding valves on right-hand and left-hand drive cars are identical. Complete distribution valve assemblies are available as service exchange units. Only the rubber end cover, return spring, and end plug sealing washer are available as separate items. The remaining working parts are subject to very fine limits and are therefore selectively assembled by the manufacturer. Note The design of the valve is such that to provide adequate lubrication for the 0,0025 mm (0.0001 in) clearance between the operating valve and its bore, a small hydraulic system mineral oil 'leak-off' is permitted. This leakage is visible and takes the form of a small droplet of mineral oil hanging from the valve base. This is normal. To determine if a valve is leaking excessively, thus requiring renewal, check that the 'leak-off' does not impair the braking efficiency of the car or cause a noticeable reduction in the level of hydraulic system mineral oil in the reservoir. If these conditions are satisfied the valve shou Id be regarded as serviceable. Brake distribution valve - To test (on the car) 1. Place the car on a ramp. 2. Remove fuse A6 from fuse panel F2 on the main fuseboard. 3. Depressurize the hydraulic systems as described in Section G3. 4. Remove the u ndershield from around the brake actuation linkage. 5. Connect pressure gauge RH9727 GMF (ensuring that a length of high pressure pipe is attached) into the high pressure outlet port of the distribution valve (blue or mauve pipe). Alternatively, connect the gauge to any convenient ju netion between the valve and the brake calipers it supplies; for example the brake caliper bleed screw points. Note Pressure gauge RH9727 GMF is capable of 9/86 Printed in England © Rolls-Royce Motors Limited 1986 reading from zero to 207 bar (zero to 3000 Ibf/in 2 ). 6. Start the engine and depress the brake pedal. The brake line pressure shown on the gauge should be proportional to the load applied to the pedal, provided that the accumulators are fully charged. For a 200 N (45 lbf) load on the pedal, the line pressure should be approximately 69 bar (1000 lbf/in 2 ). It should also be possible to achieve a line pressure of 138 bar (2000 Jbf/in2 ) for a pedal pressure of approximately 333N (75 lbf). When the load on the brake pedal is continuously varied, the brake line pressure should also vary accordingly, without any marked lag or jerkiness. If the above effort/pressures are not obtainable or actuation shows marked lag or jerkiness on the gauge, the distribution valve may be considered faulty and must be renewed. 7. If a system internal leakage investigation, as described in Section G9, under Hydraulic accumulators - To test, shows a distribution valve to be the cause of a loss in accumulator pressure the actual leakage can be checked as follows. 8. Disconnect the low pressure return line from the distribution valve port (black or white pipe). Blank the end of the pipe to prevent drainage of the reservoir. 9. Insert a union and a length of pipe into the distribution valve low pressure return port and place the open end of the pipe into a clean container. 10. Start the engine but do not depress the foot brake pedal. 11. Top-up the reservoir continuously to keep the hydraulic system mineral oil level up to the black line on the indicator sight glass. For the valve to be acceptable the hydraulic system mineral oil leakage should not exceed 25 ml (0.875 fl oz} per half hour with the valve in the 'off' position (i.e. brake pedal not applied) or 50 ml (1. 75 fl oz) per minute with the brake pedal depressed and held steady under a load of 200 N (45 lbf). This load is equivalent to a brake line pressure of 69 bar (1000 lbf/in 2 ). If the valve leakage exceeds these figures it must be renewed. Brake distribution valves- To remove 1. Place the car on a ramp and depressu rize the hydraulic systems as described in Section G3. 2. Remove the undershield from around the brake actuation linkage. 3. Remove the pipes from each valve. Blank off the pipe ends and valve ports. 4. Unlock and remove the securing bolts from each valve, draw the rubber boot seal off the valve. Taking care not to bend the valve actuation push rod, move each valve forward and downward, out of the actuation linkage assembly. TSD4700 G11-1 TS16 Fig. G11-1 Brake distribution valve Brake distribution valve- To dismantle (see fig. G11-1) 1. Remove the end plug and sealing washer; collect the return spring. 2. Carefully remove the valve stem. Extreme care should be taken to ensure that the valve stem and its operating bore do not become scratched or damaged. 3. Carefully wash all parts in petroleum ether (120/160°C). Ory with dry compressed air, not with any type of cloth. Brake distribution valve - To inspect 1. Carefully examine the fine limit bore of the valve insert and the outside diameter·of the valve stem. Each surface should be smooth and free from scratches. 2. Lubricate the bore of the valve insert and the valve stem with clean hydraulic system mineral oil. Carefully fit the valve stem into the valve insert bore and check for any axial wear. There should only be sufficient clearance to allow the valve stem to slide freely in the bore; the stem and bore having a clearance of 0,0025 mm (0.0001 in). 3. Wash the parts in petroleum ether ( 120/160°C). Dry with dry compressed air, not with any type of cloth. 3. Fit a new sealing washer to the end plug. Fit and torque tighten the plug to between 82 Nm and 88 Nm (8,3 kgf m and 9,0 kgf m; 60 lbf ft and 65 lbf ft). 4. Ensure that the inward and return movement of the valve stem is smooth and does not bind or stick at any point along its travel. Brake distribution valve - To fit Fit the distribution valves by reversing the procedure given for removal noting the following. 1. If a replacement valve is being fitted, remove one of the blanking plugs and allow any hydraulic system mineral oil to drain from the valve. Fit the plug. 2.

Remove and dismantle the brake linkage as described previously. 2. Carefully press the bushes requiring renewal out of their locations and fit new bushes. The bush bores are machined to final size, therefore no reaming or boring is necessary. 3. Any pivot pins that are worn or damaged must be renewed. Brake actuation linkage - To assemble Assemble the Ii n kag e by reversing the di sma ntl in g procedure, noting the fol lowing. 1. Clean a II components prior to assembly. Lightly lubricate the linkage pivots, the protruding parts of the distribution valve stems, and the push rod location bores with Molytone 'C' grease of any approved a lte rn ati ve. 2. All bolts and nuts must be torque tightened to the figures quoted in Chapter P before split pins are fitted and tab-washers secured. 3. The linkage should operate freely when located between the assembly side mounting plates. All levers must be absolutely free to move with negligible friction on their pivots. Distance tubes must be similarly free in the Oil ite bushes. Note All bolts should be fitted in the directions TSD 4700 G12-5 shown in figure G 12-1 in order that certain individual items may be removed without removing the complete assembly from the car. Brake actuation linkage - To adjust Adjustment of the actuation Ii nkage should be carried out in the following sequence. a. Distribution valve push rod clearance. b. Rubber 'feel' cone setting. c. Main 'feel' spring setting. d. Brake pedal height setting. Note Adjustment 'a', 'b', and 'c' can be carried out with the actuation linkage assembly removed from the car.

Note It will be necessary to draw back the two rubber dust covers on the distribution valves in order to check the push rod to distribution valve stem clearance. Rubber 'feel' cone - To set (see fig. G 12-3) 1. Fit the two return springs to the linkage assembly. At this point the two abutment cups and the rubber 'feel' cone shou Id be loose and free to slide on the shaft. 2. Tighten the adjusting nut u nti I the clearance between the abutment cups and the rubber cone has been removed, without a pre-load being applied to the rubber cone. 3. Securely tighten the lock-nut onto the adjusting nut, then depress and release the brake peda I several times to ensure that the cone is seated correctly. Recheck the cone setting. Ensure that a security split pin is fitted to the end of the shaft. Main 'feel' spring- To set (see fig. G12-3) 1. Ensure that the actuation assembly remains in the 'off' position. 2. Fit one end of the 'feel' spring into the adjusting screw located in the centre of the spring anchor rod. 3. Rotate the spring and screw half a turn at a time in the direction required u nti I the spring can be fitted into the 'fee I' rod hook. With no cl ea ran ce between the spring and hook, ensure that there is no spring pre-load. Note It is necessary to stretch the spring over the hook to obtain the correct position where cleara nee is determined. 4. Remove the spring from the hook and rotate the spring and screw 1V2 turns clockwise, when viewed from the brake pedal end of the assembly (i.e. effectively tensioning the spring). Fit the spring onto the hook. Note It is essential to follow both of the previous setting instructions accurately as deviations will completely alter the subjective feel and acceptability of brake control. Clea ranee between the rubber 'fee I' cone and its abutments will cause a spongy, long travel pedal feel at low decelerations. Any pre-load on th is rubber wil I cause jerky initial braking under these conditions. Inadequate pre-load on the rear tension spring will produce unwanted free travel at the pedal followed by jerky initial braking. Too much pre-load will give jerky initial braking followed by a period of 'spongy' pedal travel. Brake pedal height setting (see figs. G12-4 and G12-5) This setting can only be carried out with the actuation Ii nkage assembly fitted to the car. 1. Locate the setting gauge into the brake pedal stem hole in the end ofthe pedal lever (see fig. G12-4). Raise the pedal lever until the gauge touches the underside of the toeboa rd sea I housing. 9186 G12-6 2.

TSD 4700 G14-1 Section G15 Levelling valve Introduction The levelling valve is mounted on a bracket attached to the left-hand side of the rear sub-frame front crossmember. Actuation of the levelling valve is controlled by a torsion rod. This rod is attached to the levelling valve ball pin lever at one end and to the rear anti-roll bar at the other (see fig. G 15-1 ). The levelling valve regulates the flow of hydraulic system minera I oil, either to or from the rear suspension struts, dependent on the variation in load applied to the rear suspension. Any sustained change in the ride height of the car operates the valve. Under conditions where extra load is applied (ride height low). pressurized hydraulic system mineral oil is allowed to pass from the accumulator, through the levelling valve to the rear suspension struts. When the load is reduced (ride height high), the levelling valve allows hydraulic system mineral oil to return from the rear suspension struts to the reservoir. When work is being carried out on the levelling system, it should be noted that the levelling valve has a predetermined delay before it responds to movement of the ball pin operating lever. This delay period for 1 mm (0.040 in) movement of the valve is between 6.5 seconds and 12 seconds. The levelling valve incorporates a seepage return hose. One end of the hose connects to the side of the levelling valve, the other end to the minimum pressure valve. This hose arrangement allows designed seepage within the levelling valve to return back to the reservoir. The levelling valve is a non-serviceable unit. In the event of valve malfunction the complete valve assembly must be renewed. The outer diameter of the levelling valve is painted green for mineral oil identification purposes. Levelling valve-To remove 1. Place the car on a ramp. Engage park position and chock the front wheels. Remove fuse A6 from fuse panel F2 on the main fuseboard. 2.

H4-1) are of the sealed unit type and no servicing is required. In the event of a damper becoming faulty, it should be discarded and a new damper fitted. Dampers of varying damping characteristics are fitted dependent on the car model. It is important therefore to ensure that dampers of the correct type are fitted when replacement is required. If only one damper requires renewal the new damper must be of the same type and rating as the damper remaining on the car. In the event of a matching damper becoming obsolete and therefore unobtainable both dampers should be renewed. Important Each damper contains nitrogen gas under pressure. Under no circumstances should it be subjected to undue force. Do not clamp the damper in a vice. If the road spring support collar has seized to a faulty damper, the collar should be discarded with the damper. Do not attempt to hammer the collar from the damper. When using the spring retention tools RH8809 and RH7909 on cars fitted with pressed steel spring plates {see fig. H4-1 ), it will be necessary to use the adapter plate RH 12053.

To allow the suspension to settle after assembly and prior to this check being carried out, the car should be driven back and forth several times. The ride height of the car i5 determined by three factors. The poundage of the road spring!">, the quantity of adjusting rings fitted to the springs, and the hydraulic mineral oil and gas pressure in the rear suspension strut and gas spring assemblies. When checking the ride height it is also necessary to determine the closing pressure of the minimum pressure valve, i.e. the amount of hydraulic pressure retained in the rear struts. For full details of the closing pressure setting reference should be made to Chapter G. Ride height - To check 1. The ride height should be checked with a full tank of fuel. If however the tank is partially empty, weight equivalent to the amount of missing fuel should be positioned adjacent to the fuel tank. For each 4,5 litres {1 Imp gal, 1.2 US gal) of missing fuel add 3,4 kg (7 .5 lb) of weight. The fuel tank capacity is 108 litres (23.75 Imp gal, 28.5 US gal). 2. Ensure that the spare wheel, jack, tools. and accessories are fitted in their correct positions. 3. Check the tyre pressures and correct if necessary. This operation must be carried out as incorrect tyre pressures will result 1n incorrect ride height measurements. 4. Drive the car onto a suitable level ramp and &ecurely chock the front road wheels. Do not set the ride height with the car on a surface which is not level as the variation in weight distribution can affect the cars height. 5. Move the gear range selector lever to tha neutral position. Remove the gearchange fuse from the fuseboard (fuse A6 on fuse panel F2). and release the parking brake. 6. Depressurize the hydraulic &ystem by releasing the accumulator bleed screws as described in Chapter G. Close the bleed screws. 7. Attach a bleed tube and container to the rear strut bleed screw and release the pressure from the struts. 8. Fit pressure gauge RH 9727 GMF into the strut bleed point. 9. Start the engine and allow the: hydraulic systems to fully pressurize (approximately four minutes). 10. Bleed the suspension struts and pressure gauge. Allow the car time to level (approximately one minute). 11. Slacken the bolt which clamps the torsion rod to the rear stabilizer bar. 12.

Hold the lever in this position until a pressure of approximately 34.5 bar (500 lbf/in 2 ) is indicated on the pressure gauge. TSD 4700 H 11-1 13. Pivot the lever away from the valve. The pressure will start to descend slowly. 14. Note the pressure on the gauge when it stops falling. This is the minimum pressure valve setting and should be between 24, 1 bar and 26,2 bar (350 lbf/in2 and 380 lbf/in 2 ). If the pressure is outside these limits. the minimum pressure valve should be adjusted as described in Chapter G Se::tion G 1 7. 15. When the car has fully towered, pull down on the rear of the car then release it, this will ensure that the car has fully settled. 16. With the minimum pressure valve retaining the correct strut pressures. measure the height at points A and Bas shown in figure H 11-1. Both measurements should be taken from the level surface on which the car stands. Dimension A to the foremost bottom bolt securing the sub-frame mounting bracket to the body sill. Dimension B to the centre of the rear bolt attaching the parkinQ brake linkage to the trailing arm. 17. Subtract dimension 8 from dimension A. The resultant figure must be within the following tolerances. Applicable to cars other than Corniche II and Continental built to a Canadian, USA. and 1989 model year Middle East specification. +5,0 mm and -5,0 mm (+0.20 in and -0.20 in).

Do not apply excessive pressure. Hold the lever in this position until a pressure of approximately 34,5 bar (500 lbf/in~) is indicated on the pressure gauge. 21. Pivot the lever away from the valve. The pressure will start to descend. When the pressure gauge reads between 0,34 bar and 0,69 bar (5 lbf/in 2 and 10 lbf/in 2 ) higher than the minimum pressure valve setting, allow the levelling valve to return to its 'dead area'. With the levelling valve in this position, push the torsion bar as far as possible into the spherical bearing. Withdraw the torsion bar between 0,50 mm and 0,75 mm (0.020 in and 0.030 in). then torque tighten the torsion bar clamp nuts to between 5,2 Nm and 6.2 Nm (0,53 kgf m and 0,63 kgf m; 3.8 lbf ft. and 4.6 lbf ft). Ensure that the area of contact between the clamp and the stabilizer bar is free of grease. oil. etc. 22. Depressurize the hydraulic systems and suspension struts. 23. Remove the pressure gauge and fit the bleed screw. 24. Bleed the hydraulic systems as described in Chapter G Section G5 ·u· Trailing arm camber - To set 1. Mount the rear crossmember and trailing arms on a $Urface table as shown in figures H1 1-2 and H11-3. 2. Set the trailing arms in the normal ride position 12/87 Printed in England €J Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Limited 1987 C 208 mm (8.20 in) from road wheel centre using small screw jacks situated beneath the trailing arms (see fig. H 11-2). 3. Tighten the centre bolt of the inner bush and the bolts of the frame tube mounting bracket on each trailing arm. 4. Tighten the centre bolt of each outer bush sufficiently to remove end play. but still allow trailing arm adjustment in the mounting bracket. Ensure that the location plate is suitably positioned to allow the two selftapping screws to be fitted. 5. Using suitable camber setting equipment. or a precision square across the faces of the upper and lower hub location tubes, check the camber of the trailing arms. The setting for each arm must be between minus 0° 15' and plus O'' 15'. The setting variation between the trailing arms must not exceed 0° 15'. Adjust thE: trailing arm as necessary to obtain the correct &etting. 6. Tighten the outer bush centre bolt. Note Adjustment of the camber will also affect the toe-in setting. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust both settings until a satisfactory position is obtained. 7. Check the toe-in setting of each trailing arm. Toe-in - To check (see fig. H11-4J 1. With the crossmember and trailing arm assembly mounted on a surface table as shown in figures H 11-2 TSD 4700 H11-3 and H 11 -4 proceed as follows. 2. Mark a centre line between the centre of the rear crossmember and the final drive crossmember. 3. Place a straight edge across the hub mounting tubes to give the equivalent of the road wheel rim diameter (see fig. H 11-4). With the aid of a precision square positioned 20S mm (8.20 in) from the centre line of the hub (see fig. H11 -4 ), measure the distance from the base of the square to the centre line marked on the table. 4. Repeat the measurement from the same distance on the other side of the hub centre line. 5. Compare the measurements taken on each side of the hub centre line. The toe-in for one wheel to the centre line on the surface table should be between 1,35 mm and 1,8 mm (0.053 in and 0.071 in). If the toe-in is incorrect, adjust the outer mounting point of the trailing arm then tighten the centre bolt. Note Adjustment of the toe- in will also affect the camber setting. Therefore it is necessary to adjust both settings until a satisfactory position is obtained. 6. Repeat the procedure for the other trailing arm. The maximum permissable toe-in differential between each side of the car is 0,38 mm (0.015 in). 7. On completion, torque tighten the centre bolts to between 82 Nm and 88 Nm (8,3 kgf m and 9,0 kgf m, 60 lbf ft and 65 lbf ft) . Repeat the camber and toe-in checks to ensure movement has not occurred during tightening. 8. Secure the location plates on the outer mounting brackets with self-tapping screws. It will be necessary to drill two 4 mm (0.156 in) diameter holes in each crossmember bracket to accept the screws. 12/87 H11-4 Section H12 General dimensions The illustrations in this section are provided to assist in assessing accident damage to the sub-frames and suspension components.

Also, various passages and pipes convey the coolant around the system (see fig. L2-1 ). A mixture containing equal amounts of approved coolant/anti-freeze and water should be used in the system at all times. The coolant mixture in the system should always be maintained at the correct level and this must be checked at the intervals specified in the Service Schedule Manual, TSO 4702. The coolant level can be checked at the trans lucent expansion bottle. The correct level should be between the MAX and MIN marks on the bottle. If a full check is to be carried out refer to page L3-3. The cooling system is pressurized and the correct pressure is maintained by the expansion bottle pressure cap. Removal of the pressure cap while the engine and radiator are still hot requires extreme care. The coolant pump is situated at the front of the engine and is driven from the crank.shaft by twin matched 'Vee' belts. Coolant from the bottom of the radiator is pumped via transfer pipes and crankcase passages directly onto the outside of the 'wet' type eng ine cylinder liners and then into the cylinder heads. From the cylinder heads the coolant travels along transfer pipes and then flows past the thermostat to the top of the radiator. When the engine is cold the thermostat is closed. Therefore, the coolant by-passes the radiator matrix and is recirculated through the engine to reduce the warm-up period. Once normal operating temperature is attained, the thermostat opens and the coolant is directed to the radiator. The temperatu re of the coolant is registered on the gauge situated on the facia. Whenever the ignition is on, a transmitter situated in the thermostat housing signals the coolant temperature to the gauge. Al 744 Fig. 12-1 Diagrammatic view of the cooling system 5/88 Printed in England © Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Limited 1988 Dotted line -1989 model year cars TSD 4 700 L2-1 Section L3 Coolant The cooling system should contain a 50% mixture of an approved coolant/anti-freeze and water. This mixture not only provides frost protection down to a temperature of -37°C {-35°F), but it also prevents corrosion of the cooling passages. Refer to the Service Schedule Manual, TSD 4702, to obtain the specified service intervals for renewing the coolant, fitting a new thermostat, and reverse flushing the system. Except in an emergency, water must not be used to either fill or top-up the cooling system. If a situation Fig. L3-1 does arise where water is used, the coolant mixture must be corrected as soon as possible, otherwise corrosion damage will occur to the engine coolant passages. Coolant/anti-freeze The trade name of the coolant/anti-freeze is ICI 007/ 400F (obtainable under a Rolls-Royce and Bentley label) and should be used all year round. Do not mix ICI 007/400F or top-up with any other brand of coolant/ anti-freeze.

Afterwards run the engine until normal operating temperature is attained and the anti-freeze has become thoroughly mixed with the coolant. Stop the engine and again check the concentration in the expansion bottle. An acceptable level of anti-freeze concentration is between 45% and 55%. Therefore, as a hydrometer may be inaccurate where readings above 40% are expected, it is recommended that a refractometer (see fig. L3-1) is used in the following manner. 1. Lift the plastic cover on the refractometer (tester) to expose both the measuring window and bottom of the plastic cover. 2. Thoroughly clean both exposed surfaces with clean water and then wipe them dry with a clean soft cloth. 3. Carry out the usual workshop safety precautions. 4. Raise the bonnet and remove the expansion bottle cap. 5. Release the tip of the clear plastic tu be from the tester and insert it into the coolant in the expansion bottle. 6. Press and then release the bulb on the end of the p Iastic tu be. This wi II draw a sm a II quantity of coolant into the tube. 7. Withdraw the test equipment and bend the end of the plastic tu be around the tester so that the tip of the tube can be inserted into the cover plate opening. 8. Press the bulb on the end of the plastic tube and eject a few drops of coolant onto the measuring surface . 9. Point the tester towards the light and look into the eye piece. Do not open the plastic cover when taking a reading. Evaporation of water from the fluid sample being tested can affect the reading. 10. The anti-freeze protection reading is at the point where the dividing line between light and dark {edge of shadow) crosses the scale. The anti-freeze reading is on the right-hand scale. Note The tester temperature scale is reversed from a standard thermometer. Below zero readings are on the upper half of the scale . 11. If the temperature reading is higher (further down on the scale) than -31°C (-24°F) it will be necessary to refer to figure L3-2 and add the appropriate amount of anti-freeze to the system. Example A tester reading of -29°C (-2 0°F) is eq u a I to an antifreeze concentration of 43% and is outside the service limits. Follow the line upwards until the angled line is reached, then trace the horizontal line to the scale on the rig ht-hand size of the graph to find that 2 litres (3.5 Imp pt, 4.2 US pt) of coolant should be removed from a full system and replaced with undiluted anti-freeze. Once the addition al concentrated anti-freeze has mixed with the existing coolant the percentage concentration will be 50%. 5188 Printed in England © Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Limited 1988 12. After adding undiluted anti-freeze, al low the engine to operate normally for a few days before carrying out further checks to determine the percentage of anti-freeze concentration. This will allow time for the anti-freeze to be thoroughly mixed with the existing coolant. The anti-freeze concentration should be checked in both the expansion bottle and the radiator as approximately 0,28 litres (0.5 Imp pt 0.6 US pt) is transferred to and from the expansion bottle each time the engine is warmed-up and then left to cool. Failure to allow the new anti-freeze to circulate properly will result in a false reading. Note If a refractometer is not available and a hydrometer has to be used a scale reading of between 1,06 and 1,07 shou Id be obtained, with the coolant at room temperature, for the mixture to be correct. Coolant level - To check and top-up Warning The cooling system becomes pressurized during engine running. Therefore, extreme care should be taken when removing the pressure cap from an engine th at is warm or at normal running temperature.

Cooling system booster fans Twin booster fans are located between the radiator grille and the refrigeration condenser. They are switched from either engine coolant temperature , or from refrigerant pressure. The booster fans are electrically operated assemblies. For additional information refer to Elect rical Manuals, TSO 4701 (prior to 1989 model year) or TSO 4848 (1989 model year).

L5-1 ). It is connected to the induction manifold by transfer pipes. All cars are fitted with the same thermostat housing. However, various thermostat outlet elbows can be fitted, dependent upon the specification of the vehicle. A number of electrical switches are fitted into the thermostat housing dependent upon the specification of the vehicle. For service details of these switches refer to Electrical Manuals, TSD 4701 (prior to 1989 model year} or TSD 4848 (1989 model year). Thermostat The engine cooling system incorporates a wax elementthermostat (see fig. L5·2) . When the eng i ne is started from cold the thermostat is in the closed position. This reduces the engine warm-up time by recirculating the coolant leaving the engine back to the coolant pump, thus by-passing the radiator. As the coolant approaches its normal working temperature the thermostat opens and allows the engine cool a ntto flow through the radiator. When the thermostat is in the fully open position it closes the by-pass circuit. On top of the thermostat is the bridge piece and into this is secured the fixed piston rod. The valve assembly containing the wax capsule seat, is on the underside of the top flange. It is biased in th is position by a spring and retained by a 'U' piece. A second outer 'U' piece (by-pass valve) loaded by a light poundage spring, is fitted to the bottom of the thermostat to operate the by-pass circuit. The top flange incorporates a vent hole containing a jiggle pi n. This vent allows air to escape when the cooling system is being filled. When the system is operating the jiggle pin rises to close the vent. Also situated around the top flange are fusible plugs. These plugs melt at approximately 124°C (255°F) and provide vent holes for the coolant, in the event of the thermostat not opening, to control the coolant t emperature. The thermostat operates when the coolant temperature approaches between 85°C and 89"C (185°F and 192"F). At this point the wax in the capsule changes its state and expands rapidly. The expansion compresses the rubber sleeve forcing it off the end of the tapered piston rod. As the sleeve is an integral part of the main valve assembly, this movement is transmitted to the valve moving it downwards off its seat. A small quantity of warm coolant is then allowed to pass between the va lve and its seatto the radiator matrix, where it is cooled. Further rises in engine coolant temperature cause a progressive opening of the main valve until a temperature of between 99°C and 102°C (210°F} and 5/88 Printed in England @ Rolls-Royce Motor Cars L1m 1ted 1988 Fig. LS-1 Thermostat housing assembly 215°F) is attained. At these temperatures the main valve is fully open (maximum travel 14.27 mm (0.562 in)]. When the main valve assembly has opened 10 mm (0.375 in), the by-pass valve on the base of the thermostat assembly w ill have moved under spring pressure sufficiently to close the coolant by-pass circuit and all coolant is then directed to the radiator matrix. A decrease in engine temperature will cause the wax in the capsule to contract and, due to spring pressure, close the main valve and also open the by-pass circuit. The thermostat main valve assembly, being sensitive to the temperature of the surrounding coolant, controls the flow of coolant to the radiator matrix to suit the requirements of the engine. At the service interva Is quoted in the Service Schedule Manual, TSD4702, a new thermostat should be fitted. Do not attempt to adjust the thermostat. Thermostat - To remove 1. Carry out the usual workshop safety precautions. 2. Drain approximately half the radiator coolant into a clean container (see Section L3). 3.

The pump draws coolant from the bottom t ank of the radiator assembly and pumps it via the coolant galleries in the crankcase t o ci rculate dire ctly onto the outside of the cyl i nders liners. The coolant then circulates through galleries in the top the crankcase, via the cylinder heads and transfer pipes to t he thermostat housing. Dependent upon the temperature in the thermost at housing, the coo lant either by-passes the radi ator (because the thermostat is closed) and recirculat es through the eng ine, or passes through the thermostat to be cooled i n the radiator assembly. The coolant pump is fitted to the engine as an individual component. When either overhaul or maintenance work becomes necessary it is not of 1 4 2 essential to remove the complete assembl y , the pump body can remain fitted to the eng i ne and all mov i ng parts withdrawn as a sub-a ssembly (see fig. l6-1).

Toe-in can be set by the movement of an intermediate adjuster linking the track rod inner and outer components. An anti-joggle valve is fitted into the hydraulic pressure line (located in the spoo l valve housing), to minimise any feedback to the steering wheel caused by road irregularities. The steering rack is f itted with internal lock stops. Important Damage can be caused to the steering column and rack boots if the steering is 1 8 Fig. N2-1 1 2 3 4 Power assistance Pressure is applied to the steering system rack in varying degrees. This provi des assistance to the steering wheel, dependent on the effort required to move the road wheels. 2 / 3 4 6 5 I 7 Steering unit mounted in sub-frame Intermediate link Spool valve and pi nion Convoluted seals Steering to sub-frame attachment 8/88 Printed in England © Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Limited 1988 operated w ithout the engine running, i.e. distortion to the column, broken column mounts, and cut rack boots. To overhaul the rack and pinion assembly, the fo llowing kits of parts are available. Spool valve renewal kit Rack overhaul kit Bellows replacement kit. 5 6 7 8 A2047 Side steering lever T rack rod adjuster Inner ball joint bracket Centre tu be and seal TSD 4700 N2-1 The amount of assistance is controlled by the passage or restriction of oil through a series of ports in the upper half of the pinion box. This creates a pressure differential across the rack, proportional to the load applied at the steering wheel. The system operates by causing a small torsion bar to twist, immediately the steering wheel is moved, rotating the concentric va Ive components to provide the pressure differential required . A ' fail safe' device prevents the torsion bar from bei ng overstressed by limiting the number of degrees through which it can twist. Important The steering unit must be handled with exceptional care. Avoid impact loads on the input shaft and centre off-take, and damage to the convoluted sea Is which could cause premature fai lure of the unit. Do not disturb the end plug or locking nut whilst the rack and pinion unit is fitted to the car. 1 10 \ 9 2 8 7 6 Fig. N2-2 Spool valve and pinion housing 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Bolt - lower link to spline Valve and pinion shaft Heatshield Hyd ra ulic feed pipework Flu id f eed to end of rack Anti-joggle valve adapter Hydraulic return pipework Fluid feed to end of rack Seal attachment clip Convoluted neoprene seal 4 A240 1 The majority of the threads on t he rack assem bly are metric, except for the mounting bolts to the sub-frame and the lower steering column linkage.

Three multiple-disc clutches, one roller clutch, one sprag clutch, and two friction bands, provide the elements which are required to obtain the desired functions of the gear train. A name plate is fitted to the right-hand side of the transmission, toward the centre of the case. The serial number is prefixed by either the letters RHA, AJA, RNA , or ANAB, and the year in numerals. On 1989 model year transmissions, the serial number is prefixed by either the letters RDA. AKA, ALA, AMA, or RMAB, and the year in numera Is. The torque converter, clutches, and rollers connect the engine to the planetary gears with the aid of pressurized transmission fluid. Three forward gears and reverse are provided. When necessary, the torque convener will supplement the gears by multiplying engine torque. The torque converter is of welded steel construction and cannot be dismantled. The unit is made up of two vaned sections which face each other across a fluid filled housing. The pump half of the converter is connected to the engine and the turbine half is connected to the transmission . When the engine is running the converter pump rotates and throws fluid against the turbine, causing the turbine to rotate. The fluid then returns to the pump in a circular flow and continues this cycle as long as the engine is running. The converter also has a smaller vaned section, called a stator, which directs the fluid back to the pump through smaller openings at greater speed. The speeded-up fluid imparts additional force to the engine driven converter pump. thus multiplying engine torque. A hydraulic system pressurized by an internal/external gear type of pump provides the working pressure required to operate the friction elements and automatic controls. External control connections The external control connections to the transmission are. 1. An electric gearchange actuator, connecting rod, and levers. The actuator responds to an electrica I signal from a switch on the steering column, then moves the gear change lever on the transmission to the required position . 2. Engine vacuum which operates a vacuum modulator unit. 3. 12 volt electrical signals to operate an electrica I detent solenoid. Gear and torque ratios The gear or torque ratios of the transmission a re. 11 /88 Printed in England © Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Limited 1988 First Second Third Reverse 2.5:1 1.5:1 1.0 :1 2.0 : 1 Each gear ratio can be multiplied by as much as 2.2, depe11 ding upon the slip speed of the converter pump and turbine . Vacuum modulator A vacuum modulator is used to automatically sense engine torque inp ut to the t ransmission. The modulator transmits this signal to the pressure regulator which controls main line pressure . This ensures that all the torque requirements of the transmission are met and that the correct gear change spacing is obtained at all throttle openings. Detent solenoid The detent solenoid is activated by the th rattle position switch, mounted on the end of the primary th rattle spindle. When the pedal is in the kick-down position, the switch is closed; the solenoid in the transmission is then activated and a down-change will occur at speeds below 129 km/h (80 mile/h). At lower speeds a down-change will occur at smallerthrottle openings without the aid of the throttle position switch assembly, or the solenoid , Heat eKchanger The heat exchanger for the transmission fluid is situated in the bottom of the radiator matrix (see fig. T2-1). Selector positions The transmission quadrant has six selector positions which enable the driver to control the operation of the transmission under vary i ng drivi ng conditions . The six selector positions appear in the following sequence, from left to right ; P - Park, R - Reverse, N Neutral, D- Drive, I- Intermediate, and L- Low. The engine can only be started in the park and neutral positions. P - Park position positively locks the output shaft to the transmission case by means of a locking pawl and prevents the car from rolling either backward or forward when parked on a steep incline. A - Reverse en ables the car to operate in a reverse direction. N - Neutral enables the engine to be started and run without the car moving. D- Drive is used for all normal driving conditions and maximum economy . Drive range has three gear ratios, from starting to direct drive. Fo reed down TSO 4700 T2-1 changes are available for safe and rapid overtaking, by fully depressing the accelerator pedal. I - Intermediate adds new performance for congested traffic conditions or hilly terrain. This range has the same starting ratio as D, but prevents the transmission from changing above second gear; acceleration is retained when extra performance is required. The engine can be used to ass ist braking in th is range. L- Low range permits operation at a lower gear ratio and should be used when maxi mum torque multiplication is required or, when descending a steep gradient. When the selector lever is moved from drive (D) to low (L) at normal road speeds, the transmission will change to second gear and rema in in second gear until the speed of the car is reduced to the normal 2-1 down-change speed. The transmission will then change down to f irst gear and remain in first gear regardless of car speed or engine revolutions, until the selector lever is moved into either the drive (D) or the intermed iate (ll position . Hydraulic system Pressure control The transmission is control led automatically by a hydraulic system . Hydraulic pressure is supplied by the transmission oil pump, which is engine driven. Main line oil pressure is controlled by a pressure regulator valve train which is located i n the pump and by the vacuum modulator which is connected to engine va cuum. The pressu re regulator controls main line oil pressure automatically, in response to a pressure 1 2 I \ 3 I ' \ I \ I I \ signal from a modulator va lve. Th is is done in such a manner, that t he torque requ irements of the transmission clutches a re met and correct gearchange spacing is obtained at all throttle o penings. To control line pressure , a modulator pressure is used. This pressure varies in t h e same manner as torque input to the transmission . Since the torque input to the clutches is the product of engine torque and converter ratio, modulator pressure must compensate fo r changes in either o r both of these. To meet these requ irements, m odu Iator pressure is regulated by engine vacuum, which is an ind icator of engine torqu e and throttle open ing. It wi ll decrease as the car speed increases to compensate for the changing converter torque ratio . Vacuum modulator assembly The engine vacuum signal is rece ived by the v acuum modulator, which comprises an evacuated metal bellows, a diaphragm, and two springs. The assembly is so arranged that the be ll ows and external spring apply a force th at acts on the modulator valve so t hat it increases modulator pressu re. To control modu lato r pressure, engine vacuum and an internal spring oppose the bellows and external spring. To redu ce the effect of altitude on change point s, the effective area of the diaphragm is different than that of the bel lows. Atmospheric p ressure acts on the resulting d iffe rential area to reduce modulator pressure. Governor assembly The speed of th e car is sign alled to t he transmission by a governor which is d ri ven by the transmission output shaft. The governor is comprised bas ically of a va Ive body, a regulator va Ive, and flyweights. Centrifuga I force causes the fl yweights to act on the regulato r va Ive. The valve t hen regulates a pressure sig nal which increases with road speed. Governo r pressure acts on the modulator valve to cause modu Iator pressure t o d ec rease as the speed of the ca r increases. J \ I ~ - - - - - - - -- -- - - -- - -- - --11:?...l.ll.

For details of the servicing and maintenance requirements of the transmission, refer to the Se rv ice Schedule Manual - TSO 4702. It is absolutely essential that attention be paid to cleanliness whenever the inte rior of the transmission is exposed and when work is being carried out on a particular unit belonging to the transmission. The smallest particle of di rt in the o i I may interfere with the correct operation of the valves, particularly in the control valve unit. A list of approved transmission fluids is given in Chapter D. Fluid level- To check and top-up The fluid level in the torque converter transmiss ion can be checked accurately only when the car is standing on a level surface, the engine is running at the idle speed , and the transm ission flu id is at norm al operating temperature, approximately 77°C (170°F). This is only obtained after 24 kil ometres (15 miles ) of highway/motorway driving or after 16 kilometres (10 miles) of city driving. As an initial check, the fluid level may be che cked after starting from cold as follows. 1. With the car on a level surface. apply the parking brake and chock the road wheels. 2. On four door cars, remove the protective cover from the windscreen wiper mechanism to gain access to the dipstick. Ensure that the following safety procedure is undertaken to iso late the mechanism prior to removing the cover. Ensure that the wind screen wiper control switch situated on the facia is in the off position. Remove a windscreen wiper relay, preferably number three (see fig. T3-1 ). To remove the relay pull it vertical ly from its mounting. Always clean the top of the dipstick before removing it from the fi Iler tube. 3. Start and run the engine for three to four minut es with t he gear range selector in th e park position . Allow the engine to achieve a normal idle speed . 4, Whilst sitting in the driving seat, firmly apply the footbrake and move the gear range selector through the fu 11 range of gear positions pausing briefly in each range. Return the selector to the park position . 5. Immediately check the flui d level with the engine running at idle speed . The level sho u Id be 25 mm (1 in) below the FU LL HOT mark on the dipstick. Top-up to this level if nec essary. Important When checking the fl uid level with the engine running, take care to avoid any moving parts such as driv e belts, pull eys, fan blades, etc. Care should also be taken 11188 Printed in England © Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Limited 1 988 Fig. T3-1 A Transmission filler tu be and dipstick Removing the windscreen wiper mechanism cover.

After t his initial check a fu rther check should be carried out as follows. 6. Drive the car for approx imately 24 kilometres ( 15 miles) of highway/motorway driving or 16 kilomet res (10 mi les) of city driving. Th is should ensure the transmission has reached norma l operating temperature. It is essential th at this tern peratu re is attained. Do not top-up the fluid leve l to the FULL HOT ma rk on the dipstic k when the fluid is only warm, as th is w i ll result in an overflow situation when the normal operati ng te mperature is attained. Overfilli ng will result in fluid being discharged from th e transm ission breather pipe. TSD 4700 T3-1 7. Position the car on a level surface, firmly apply t he parking brake and select park with the gear selector lever. 8. Carry out the procedure described for the initial check (Ope rations 2 to 5 inclusive). 9. With the transmission fluid at normal operating temperature the lev el of the fluid should be within t he cross hatched area marked on the di pstick (see fig. T3-l ). 10. If necessary add fluid by pou ri ng it down the f i lier tube, with the engine still runn ing, until the flu id is to the FULL HOT mark on the dipstick. Do not overfill. 11. When the flu id level is correct, switch off the engine and fit the windscreen wiper mechanism cover a~d relay. To drain the sump and renew the intake strainer 1. Position the car on a ramp. 2 . Place a c lean container having a m inimum capacity of 3 litres (5 Imp pt, 6 US pt ) beneath the drain plug situated on the corner of t he transmission sump (see fig. T3-2). 3 . Remove the drain plug and a/low the oil to dra in from the sump . 4. Remove the setscrews secu ri ng the transmission sump and lower the sump. Discard the gasket . 5. Unscrew and remove the stepped bolt securing the intake pipe and strainer assembly to the transmission casi ng. Remove the strainer assembly. 6. Discard the intake strainer but reta i n the intake pipe which connects the strainer to th e casing . 7. Fit a new rubber 'O' ring onto the intake pipe , lubricate the 'O' ri ng with clean transmission flu id . 8. Ensure a new rubber sea l is fitted to the bore in the new intake strainer. Fit the stra iner to the intake pipe and secure the strainer with the stepped bolt . 9. Torque tighten the bolt to 14 Nm (1,4 kgf m, 10 lbfft). 10. Fit the transmission sump using a new gasket. Torque tighten th e setscrews to between 8 Nm and 14 Nm (0,9 kgf m and 1.4 kgf m; 6 lbfft and 10 lbfft), 11. Add 4,5 litres (8 Imp pt, 9.6 US pt) of an approved flu id to the sump, pouring the flu id down the filler tube. Note W hen draining the sump b ut not renewing the intake strainer, add on ly 2,8 litres 15 Imp pt, 6 us pt). 12. Check the flu id level as descri bed under the heading, Fluid level -To chec k and top-up. Transmission unit (dry) - To fill The fluid capacity of the torque converter transmiss ion, including the t orque converter, is approximate ly 10,6 litres (18.75 Im p pt, 22.5 US pt), but the correct level is determ ined by the marks on the dipstick rather than by the quant ity of flu id added. It is i mportant that the correct level is maintained. When the transmission has been ov erhauled or a new one fitted and a co mplete f il l is requ ired, including t he torque converter, proceed as fo l lows. 1. Pour ap proximately 6,5 lit res {11.5 Imp pt, 14 US pt) down through the filler tube. 2. With the car on a level surface, apply th e park ing brake and choc k the road whee ls. 3. Start and ru n the engine for three to four minut es w ith the gea r range selector in the park pos itio n. Al low the engine to achieve a normal idle speed . 4. Wh ilst sitting in the drivi ng seat, firmly apply the footbrake and m ove the gear rang e selector through the fu II range of gear .positions pau sing briefly in ea ch range. Return th e selector to t he park position. 5. Immediately check the flu id level with the eng i ne running at id le speed. The leve l should be 25 mm ( 1 in) below the FULL HOT mark on t he dipstick. Top-up to this level if necessary. 6. Drive th e car for ap proximately 24 kilometres (15 miles) of hig hw ay/moto rway driving or 16 ki lomet res (10 miles ) of city driving. This shou ld ensure the transmission has reached normal operating temperature. It is essential that this temperature is attained. Do not top-u p t he fluid level t o t he FULL HOT mark o n the dipstic k when t he fluid i s o n ly w arm, as this will result in an ove rflow situati o n when th e norm al operating t emperature is attained. Overfilling w ill result in flu id be ing discha rged from the transm ission breathe r pipe. Top-up if necessary, as described under t he heading, Flu id l evel -To check and t op-up. The t ra n sm ission sump shou ld be drained at th e intervals specif ied in th e Serv ice Schedule M anu al TSD 4702. New fluid should be ad ded to maintain the correct leve l on t he dipstick. The fluid i ntake system in co rpo rates an intake strainer. Th is st rainer should be renewed at the intervals specified in the Se rvi ce Schedule Manua l. In the event of a major failu re in the transmission , th e strainer must be ren ew ed. Transmission unit- To check for leaks Fig . T3-2 Transmission sump drain plug Whenever the transmission has b een dismantled, completely or pa rtially, the following procedure must be observed t o minimise the possib ility of fluid leakage. 1. Always fit new g askets and ' O' r ing seals. 11/ 88 T3-2 2. Use a small amount of petroleum jelly to hold a gasket in position during assembly. 3. Do not use a sealing compound (e.g. Wellseal) with a gasket. 4. Ensure that the cork and paper gaskets a re not wrinkled or creased when fitted, or have distorted during storage. 5. Ensure that the square-sectioned 'O' rings a re correctly fitted and a re not twisted. 6. Ensure that a 11 mating faces are clean and free from burrs and damage. 7. Torque tighten bolts, setscrews, etc., to the torque figures given in Section T23 and Chapter P. 8. When examining the transmission for leaks, determine whether the flu id originates from the transmission or the engine. The origin a I factory fil I flu id is red in colour, this assists in Iocating the source of leakage. If however, the colour can not be detected in the transmission flu id, add a red an iii ne dye preparation to the fluid. Red dye appearing in the lea king flu id wil I positively identify the source of the leak. If the flu id is known to be leaking from the transmission, examine the following areas. Front end It will be necessary to remove the bell housing bottom cover and the lower front cover plate in order to examine the transmission for leakage at the front end. To correct a leak at the front end, the transmission will have to be removed from the car. 1. If the pump oil seal is suspected of leaking fluid, ensure that the seal has been correctly fitted and is not damaged. When fitting a new seal (see Section T171 ensure that the seal bore in the case is clean. Examine the finish on the converter neck and the bearing surface in the pump body. 2. Examine the pump square-sectioned 'O' ring and the gasket for damage, renew if necessary. 3. Ensure that the 'O' rings on the pump securing setscrews are not damaged. 4. Examine the torque converter for leakage Isee Section TS). Rear extension 1. Examine the rear extension housing oil sea I for damage. 2. Examine the finish on the sliding coupling. 3. Ensure that the gasket fitted between the joint faces has been correctly fitted and is not damaged. 4. Check the securing setscrews far correct torque tightness (see Section T23). 5. Examine the housing for cracks or porosity. Transmission case 1. Examine the speedometer electronic impulse transmitter drive 'O' ring and lip-type seal. Ensure that the securing setscrew is torque tightened. 2. Examine the governor cover gasket. Ensure that the setscrews are torque tightened (see Section T23). 11/88 Printed in England ~ Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Limited 1988 3. Examine the electrical connector 'O' ring for damage. 4. Examine the parking pawl shaft cup plug for damage. 5. Examine the manua I sh aft Ii p sea I for dam age. 6. Examine the vacuum modulator 'O' ring for damage. Ensure the retaining setscrew is torque tightened (see Section T23). 7. Examine the vacuum modulator for possible damage to the diaphragm. Note If the transmission is found to be consistently low on fluid, check the modu Iator to ensure that there is no split in the diaphragm. Apply suction to the vacuum tube and check for leaks. A split diaphragm wou Id a Ilow transmission flu id to be drawn into the engine induction manifold and vacuum line. This condition can usually be detected because the exhaust will be excessively smokey due to the transmission flu id being added to the combustion mixture. 8. Examine the sump gasket. Check the torque tightness of the securing setscrews (see Section T23). 9. Check the torque tightness of the main Ii ne pressure tapping plug (see Section T23). 10.

No up-change shou Id occur in th is range, regard less of th rattle opening. 2nd gear- overrun braking 1. Select D range. 2. When a speed of approximately 56 km/h (35 mile/h) has been reached, move the selector lever to the I range position. 3. The transmission should change down to 2nd gear. 4. An increase in the speed of the engine as well as an engine braking effect should be observed. 5. Line pressure shou Id change from between 4, 1 bar and 6,2 bar (60 lbf/in 2 and 90 lbf/in') to approximately 10,3 bar I 150 lbf/i n'). 7/87 Printed in England © Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Limited 1987 1st gear - down h ii I or overrun engine braking 1. Select I range. 2. When the speed ofthe car is approximately 48 km/h (30 mi le/h ), and at constant throttle, move the selector to L range. Note Ensure that the speed of the car does not exceed 64 km/h {40 mile/hi. 3. An increase in engine rev/min and a braking effect should be noticed as the down-change occurs. Oil pressure - To check Before attempting to ch eek the oil pressure or to road test the car, always ensure that the level of fluid in the transmission is correct (see Section T3). The pressure can be checked by using an oil pressure gauge cou pied to the main Iine tapping in the left-hand side of the transmission case. 1. Clean any di rt from around the Ii ne pressure plug; remove the plug. 2. Fit the adapter RH 7914 into the main Ii ne tapping; tighten the adapter. 3. Screw a pressure gauge, capable of reading between O bar and 20,6 bar 10 Ibf/in' and 300 lbf/i n') onto the adapter. Then, position the gauge so that it can be seen from the driver's seat. 4. Connect a tachometer to the engine; th is wil I enable the gear change points to be positively identified. 5. Drive the car u nti I the transmission has reached normal operating temperature 77°C (170°F). 6. Check the flu id level, top-up if necessary. Road testing the car The following checks should be carried out during road testing. Engine idle pressure check 1. Select D range. Drive the car at approximately 48 km/h (30 mi le/h) with the throttle eased back. The Iine pressure should be 4,8 bar (70 lbfiin'). 2. Select I range. Drive the car to obtain a steady road speed of 40 km/h (25 mile/h). Line pressure shou Id be between 10,0 bar and 10, 7 bar ( 145 Ibf/in' and 155 Ibf/in'). Full throttle pressure check 1. Jack up the rear of the car and position blocks so that the rear wheels are clear of the ground. 2. Disconnect the vacuum Ii ne at the induction manifold. 3. Blank off the orifice in them an ifold. 4. Run the engine at fast-idle (between 800 revlmin and 1000 rev/min) in neutra I. The oi I pressure should be 10,0 bar ( 145 Ibf/in'). 5. Repeat the procedure in reverse. Reverse TSD 4700 T4-1 pressure should be between 10,0 bar and 10,7 bar ( 145 Ibf/in 2 and 155 lbf/in'). 6. Connect the vacuum pipe. Towing The car must not be towed if any mechanical damage to the transmission components is suspected, or if the torque converter transmission fluid level is low. Before towing, check the fluid level in the transmission. The Ieve I must be above the FU LL HOT mark on the dipstick when the engine is not running. Should it be necessary to tow the car, even for a short distance, a solid tow bar must be used. This is important, as without the engine running to maintain th.e pressure in the hyd rau Iic systems, the efficiency of the braking systems is reduced. If the pressure in the hydraulic systems has been exhausted by operating the footbrake pedal without the engine running, the footbra ke would not stop the car. If a solid tow bar is not avai Iable, the car must be transported. Always tow the car with the torque converter transmission in neutral. To select neutral it is first necessary to turn the ignition key in the switch box to the RUN position. Providing that the battery is in a charged condition, this action will energize the gearchange actuator mechanism and neutral can then be selected by operating the gear range selector lever. Should the battery be in a discharged condition however, turning the ignition key will not energize the gearchange mechanism and operating the gear range selector lever therefore wil I not activate the actuator mechanism. In this event, it will not be possible to move the transmission out of the park position and it will be necessary to disconnect the gearchange actuator Iinkage at the manual shaft lever. Then, before the car can be towed or transported, engage neutral by moving the ma nu al shaft lever two positions rearwards from the fully forward position. Normally, when the ignition key is removed from the switch box, park position is automatically engaged and the parking pawl locks the transmission. If it is required to remove the ignition key and sti II leave the car in neutral for towing, this can be accomplished by first removing the gearchange fuse (fuse A6 on fuse panel F2 on the main fuse board) and then remove the key from the switch box. The car shou Id only be towed for distances of up to 80 kilometres (50 miles) and the maximum towing speed must not exceed 56 km/h (35 mile/h). For greater distances the propeller shaft must be disconnected or the car transported. 7187 T4-2 Section T5 Removal of units Removable units- Transmission in car The following units can be removed from the transmission without the transmission being rem oved from the car.

T6-1 l is mounted on a bracket secured to the transmission rear extension. When the ignition is switched on and the selector lever on the steering column is moved to one of the gear range positions, current is allowed to flow to t he actuator motor via a relay. The motor rotates and turns the wormshaft th rough the flexible cou piing. As the worm gear rotates, the slip ring, which is secured to the worm gear also rotates until an insulated slot in the slip ring is aligned with the live contact . When this positio n 1s reached, the current is cut off and the motor ceases to rotate. The electric actuator is wi red such that the transmission can be locked by moving the selector lever to the park position, with the lg nition switched either on or off. However, to move the transmission out of the park position, the ign ition has to be switched on, with the battery in a charged conditi o n. Note The actuator will also lock the transmissio n when the ignition key is removed from the switch box. Gearchange electric actuator - To remove It is recommended that the easiest and quickest method of dealing with actuator failure, is by substituting the faulty actuator for a service exchange unit.

In particular it is essential to know which units are involved in the various gears and speeds, so that the specific unit or fluid flow can be isolated and investigated further. The following sequence of tests may help to simplify the diagnosis of defects and should be performed first. 1. Check the fluid level. 2. Warm-up the engine and transmission to obtain normal operating temperature, approximately 77°C (170°f) . 3 . Check the control linkage. 4. Check the throttle position switch. 5 . Check the vacuum lines and fittings. 6 . Fit a pressure gauge and road test the car. Note If possible, test the car with the customer as a passenger. It is possible that the condition which the customer requires correcting is a normal function of the transmission, thus, unnecessary work can be avoided. Symptom Possible cause 1. 1. Incorrect fluid level in transmission. 1. Top-up as necessary (see Section T3). Check for external leaks or the vacuum modulator diaphragm leaking. 2. Control linkage. 2. Check and adjust the control linkage (see Section T1 8). 3. Low oil pressure. 3. Check the vacuum modulator. Check for a restricted intake strainer, a leak at the intake pipe, grommet, or the 'O' ring damaged or missing. (c) Check that the oil pump assembly pressure regulator is not sticking .

Vacuum diaphragm leak check Check with a vacuum pump or insert a pipe cleaner into the vacuum connector pipe as far as possible and check for the presence ot transmission oil. If oil is found, replace th e modulator. Note Petrol or water vapour may settle in the vacuum side of the modulator. If this is found without the presence of oil. the modu lator should not be changed. 2. Atmospheric leak check Apply a liberal coating of soap bubble solution to the vacuum connector pipe seam and the crimped up per to lower hous ing seam. Using a short piece of rubber tubing, apply air press.ure to the vacuum pipe by blowing into the tube and observe for leak bubbles. If bubbles appear, replace the modulator. Note Do not use any method other than human lung power to apply air pressure, as pressures over 0.4 bar (6 lbf/in') may damage the modulator. 11/88 Printed in England ·~ Rolls·Royce: Motor Cars L,m,tect 1988 1 c _ A_ J -=B: -_ _ W657 Comparison gauge Scribed centre li ne 12, 70 mm (0.50 in) 25.40 mm (1.0 in) Note Round bar between 9,52 mm and 10,32 mm (0 3 7 5 in and 0.406 in) diameter. Ends to be square w it hin 0,39 mm (0.015 in) Fig. T22-1 1 A B 3 . Bellows comparison check Make a comparison gauge (see fig. T22-1 ), and compare the load of a known good mod ulator with the assembly in question. a. Inst all the modulator that is known to be acceptable on either end of the gauge. b. Inst all the modulator in question on the opposite end of the gauge. c. Holding the modulators in a horirnntal position, bring th em together under pressure unti I either modulator sleeve end just touches the Iine in the centre of the gauge. The gap between the opposite modulator sleeve end and th e gauge line should not be greater than 1,59 mm (0.062 in). If the distance is greater tha n this amount the modulator in question should be replaced. 4. Sleeve alignment check Roll the main body of the modulator on a flat surface and observe the sleeve for concentricity to the body. If the sleeve is concentric and the plunger is free, the modu lator is acceptable. Once the modulator assembly passes all of the above test s, it is an acceptable part and should be fitted again. Detent (down -change) solenoid circuit - To check Before checking the detent so lenoid circuit, ma ke certain that the throttle position switch is proper ly adjusted as described in the Engine Management Systems Manual - TSO 4 737, Chapter K, and the battery is in a fully charged condition.

Working under the car, slowly advance the throttle linkage. One click should be heard from the transmission of full throttle. 3 . Allow the throttle to return to the closed position. One click should be heard from the transmission. 4. If the system performed as described previously, the detent circuit is operating properly. If the system does not perform as described, proceed to Operation 5. 5. Disconnect the white/green cable from the detent solenoid terminal on the side of the transmission case. Connect a multi-meter into the circuit between the white/green cable and a good earth. Ensure that the multi-meter registers 12V + when the throttle Ii n kage is in the full throttle position, operated from the normal driving position. The reading should fall to zero when the thottle is released. a. If the system operates as described previously, but did not perform properly during Operations 1 to 3 inclusive, replace the solenoid after first checking to see that the internal wiring is operational. b. If the multi-meter fails to register 12V + with the throttle in the wide open position, the circuit is open, proceed to Operation 6. c. If the mu Iti-meter registers 12 V +, with the throttle closed, the circuit is closed. Replace the throttle position switch and recheck the system. 6 . Remove the yellow/purple cable from the throttle position switch plug and socket. Connect a multi-meter between the cable removed and a good earth. At full throttle ensure that the multi-meter registers 12V +. a. If the multi-meter registers 12V+, reconnect the yellow/purple cable to the switch plug and socket. Recheck the system. b. If the multi-meter fails to register a voltage, proceed to Operation 7. 7. Remove the white feed cable from the throttle position switch plug and socket.
