What happens to a luxury car that's truly driven? CAR WIZARD shows on '94 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur 3

[@davidberry6046]

My Dad taught me about working on cars back in the 50s, and one thing he always said was "don't 'shotgun' your repairs, fix 'em right the first time, and you'll be happy for a lot longer." Glad to see you're a devotee' of this advice, as well! God bless all!

ALL RIGHT!!! The last question is being asked once again! I have been BLESSED by getting my parts in a timely fashion. Only time I had an issue was over 40 years ago. Had a motorcycle that was a bit different, a 1976 Suzuki RE5. It was kind of unique and ran really well. BUT! It had a problem with it's "silicone rectifier", which controlled the charging of the battery [like a voltage regulator]. I had a few LONG conversations with the mechs at Justice Suzuki and they told me that rectifier was bad from the start. Not badly designed, just not a strong enough unit for this size bike. It needed one off a 1000 or bigger. They had none in stock of either size [the bigger unit required some rewiring!].This was middle of May; I wanted to ride my new [to me!!] bike this summer! So we ordered a new one, then I figured I better get two-just in case. [Mr. Murphy!] I even paid for rush-air service from I believe Osaka Japan, supposed to be 10-12 days max. I received my parts in time for my birthday............February 12th of the following year!!!! So, 9 months with Rush-Air shipping [I think it cost about $160ish; parts were $102.48!] and the first one DID NOT WORK. Second one did the trick. Before I took her out for a romp, I found out why they were blowing out, too much heat build-up!! I made a little air diverter to cool it better, lasted the couple years I had her before passing her on. They only built this bike for 2 years, 1975 and 1976. It was kind of unique in that it had a Wankle rotary engine!! BIG engine for a motorcycle, heavy too. Like riding with a dorm fridge between your legs. Smooth runner, and you could rev her to the Moon! No valves to float!! But again, thanks for the Final Question coming back. Always enjoyed it!!!!

That's not what she said

[@chuckschillingvideos]

Depends upon whose orifice and what's clogging it.

The advantage of still running V belts in a 90's vintage car: AC compressor failure leaves water pump/alternator belt(s) intact. And - good GRIEF the size of those hood hinge springs.

Good power, good reliability, easy enough swap most of the time, decent MPG. Sooooooooo.... Yesterday

Poor airflow through the condenser will cause the compressor to pump out the oil and lockup. The other cause for lockup can be a bad thermostat. Air conditioning thermostat can fail in closed circuit. that will cause liquid to get into the compressor that is meant to pump gas. To prevent from happening again check that the thermostat shuts off the compressor at 4ºC to 7ºC. How is the heat exchanger doing?

I can't be the only one who heard that LS swap and still thought sweet

35 years ago I learned how to change clutch bearings on A/C compressors. On old GM cars where the A-6 compressor is up top and easy to get at, I would prefer to change the bearing rather than install a new compressor since it can stay on the engine with the charge intact. Those days are gone however since most compressors are buried and you would have to discharge the system to get at them anyway.

Often overlooked, as was in my case, check the connectors in the plug. The downfall of my car was it took way too long for someone to pick up the one connector pin broke in two.

I like Mrs Wizard's test question, I'm pretty sure she knew the answer in advance , because my experience is that Most of us wizards if we're lucky are smart enough to realize They're smarter than we are (Which if we're lucky enough they say yes when we ask them to marry us)
