.This one is midnight blue with tan leather, I'm going to keep the colour the same but although the seats look in good nick I know of someone local who can refurb them completely, I'm going to keep them the same colour but will have the leather in the "diamond quilted" pattern that can be seen on most Bentleys.Keep them original, Mick.
^This!^
How original though?
Say, for example, you replace points and coil on a sixties classic for electronic ignition. Or modern tyres and brakes.
What Rangie describes sounds like an 'acceptable update' to me.
Just wanted a slight difference to make it more "personalised" to me, everything else exactly to as new condition, even my missus liked driving the Granadas at one point we had two she had a 3.0 GL & I had the 3.0 Ghia, the MK2 I had was only a 2.3LX in gay gold 👍
Note to self, stop looking on tInternet shopping sites,, just bought a pair of rear B4 Bilstein for £60.
Does it sound like a hovercraft for many minutes after you lock it and walk away?
Not a fan of that engine!
Yeah, about 20 minutes. I thought I had broken it.
We have been looking at how we integrate LEO solutions into a car for some years now, have worked directly with Amazon and Starlink on this.
So have you set it up, tried it, and its not performing?
Basically yes.
No obstructions as it looks out over fields. Starlink customer service say that it's as good as it is going to get.
Now using Lebara with the Vodaphone network through a Huawei router, which costs £12.50 a month instead of £75 for Starlink.
Connecting the TV aerial to the router seems to have made it much faster.....or is that just the placebo effect.
Possible but far from ideal, you can get directional and external cellular antennas which are MUCH better, they just need pointing at the cellular mast (for directional)
I shall look into this.
Do you have one (or more) you can recommend that works well and won't break the bank?

I've signed up for a 30 day trial with Starlink because my options are pretty limited before 5G becomes more common.
I've gone for the 'residential package' at £75 PCM.......roaming and mobile packages are £85 PCM and according to users regularly throttled back if the demand is high elsewhere.
As suggested by Sir Tig I have gone for the refurbished dish which costs £150, so £79 less.
I'll see how it goes.
We too live in the countryside but Spain. No chance of copper or fibre ever..
Our choice is 4G or 5G ( when available) The 5G will have roughly the same footprint as 4G . At max 20 meg 4 G works for TV streaming until “ rush hour” . Schools in/ out, work finishes, adverts on popular programmes etc etc. Up is 700k so useless for video conferencing.
Spain has a programme to enable everyone to get fast internet. We get HispaSat internet. 100 meg down and 7 meg up for 35 euros a month - Free install. It works great for tv streaming but has a big ping so no good for interactive internet gaming. We are currently waiting for technician to visit to give us a free speed upgrade.
Our install is a 90 cm dish facing South East , cable to a good quality router
Similar technology to Starlink. Starlink have offers . Look out for one……..
From the video the traffic over the bridge was fortunately exceptionally light, another 4/5 hours later it could have been a veritable disasterEven worse on the actual bridge.You can just imagine the sense of panic on the bridge of the ship
