| 2009-11-05 | paul | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thanks very much. The horn work when outside power is attached so I think your idea for a worn button is probably spot on. Thanks again. Paul |

| 2009-05-19 | george jaeger | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | You can't get a RR pump but Rolls Says and makes a kit using a facet "E" 6-8 psi 45 gph pump.That's the first one installed 250 miles ago with a filter between the tank and the pump.Always did the intermittant dunking.Went back in and they changed the carburator fuel filters(both).Still dunked.Changed the pump again with a "New E series 32 gph and had them take the filter in the pump itself out so only the pre pump was on the system.Drove off no problem,the next week I drove the problem returned.N ow I should mention that I drive the car usually once a week for 10 to 15 miles and wash it and park it.Could have anything to do with the fuel being to lean under load at higher speed?One of the Rolls machanics that worked on it and fleeced me 2 years ago was under the hood on the passenger side with a wrench ajusting a large nut just after where the fuel line goes in like he was ajusting the fuel or something. thanks george |

Vern Bullock
Expertise
Visit my website at: http://www.classytransportation.com/ I can answer most questions about autos built in the 60's 70's and 80's. Specifically, Lincolns, Rolls Royces and the Excaliburs. Mechanical issues and technical questions are my expertise. I also have a general knowledge of most older automobiles. Keep in mind, I can only provide answers if the questions are very specific and complete. Without details, I can only speculate and that's not good for solving your problem.
Experience
I have owned and maintained Silver Shadows for over 10 years now. I find most mechanics and even Rolls Royce mechanics have very little knowledge about these automobiles. I have researched these cars in quite a bit of detail and can pretty much tell you what is wrong, if you can describe the behavior in detail. I have saved quite a few RR owners a lot of money and aggravation due to improper diagnosis. I am the owner of Classy Transportation, LLC a luxury limousine service specializing in antique cars, classic cars, vintage cars and exotic cars.
