Rolls Royce Silver Cloud I II III Phantom V & Bentley Continental S S1 S2 S3 Service Manual -

- {! E 2 E '- PREFACE This Workshop Manual has been compiled in an endeavour to assist service personnel responsible for maintenance and overhaul, in properly maintaining the high standard of engineeringachievedin the production of Rolls-Royce and Bentley motor cars. The book is copiously illustrated with photographs and orthographic reproductions which are suitably annotated in order to provide quick reference with minimum searching. Although all information contained in the Manual was correct when going to print, modifications which may subsequently developwill be kept up to date by means of Service Bulletins. Information given in the latest Bulletin will supersede that given in the Section of the Manual to which it refers,until such times as the Manual is re-issued with the necessary amendments. lnstructionsfor the maintenance and overhaul of the 52 engine and the Refrigeration Systemsfitted to the Rolls-Royce and Bentley cars are contained in individual volumes. Special Workshop Tools referred to in these publications and the Workshop Manual are listed and illustrated in a further publication. Personnel of Rolls-Royce Service Departments at Hythe Road, Willesden, London N.W.l0, and at Pym's Lane, Crewe, are always prepared to answer queries or give advice on individual servicing problems, but it will assist them if queries are accompaniedby the chassis number of the car. lnformation contained herein applies to the following cars: Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud Silver Cloud Silver Cloud Silver Cloud Phantom V Long Wheelbase II II Long Wheelbase Bentley S1 Sl Long Wheelbase 32 52 Long Wheelbase Continental Sl Continental 52 a N r V) F The following publications are available for reference in conjunction with this Manual: TSD 47I TSD 720 TSD 753 TSD 723 TSD 727 TSD 744 Automatic Gearbox ServiceManual Car Interior Cooling System.
