    This dude is a masochist. Anyone taking on the project of a 1989 Bentley turbo R with missing electrical components must be absolutely crazy. I love it.

    There’s not many car YouTubers who can drop a 2 hour video on fixing a car and keep everyone entertained from start to finish but you smashed it. This was brilliant 💪

    That ECU on Ebay is probably the one out of your car taken while it was in Copart 😂

    The part with your son was wonderful. One day he'll appreciate your help and words of wisdom more than you'll ever know. I lost mine to leukaemia a couple of years ago and I miss him every day.

    That Flying Spares guy is a proper businessman. “Oh you say you’ve bought an old Bentley with a missing ECU sir? Allow me to do you a massive discount safe in the knowledge you’ll be needing much, much more besides the ECU” 😂

    The OG viewers knew things were about to get serious when the white folding table was brought to the scene.

    Man, honestly, you inspire me so much. When I saw the number of problems the car had, I thought to myself, I would have no clue where to even start. It's just amazing how you're able to solve things.

    As an Irishman, we love the Brits and would never scam you like that. Also, it never rains here so can’t see how it could’ve been flooded

    The fuel pump is not energised until oil pressure is at a sufficient level. As you were cranking the car for the first few times, oil pressure was not high enough. There’s a sensor you can unplug to bypass this instead of jumping the relay. I would bet that if you plugged the relay back in now, after using the car for a while, it would be fine. It’s to stop the engine running if oil pressure is lost. <br><br>At least, that’s how the system works on my silver shadow. Love your enthusiasm!

    The quick look towards the house when you said &quot;I&apos;m in genuine trouble &quot;, priceless 😂. &nbsp;We&apos;ve all been in that situation. <br>Love this, thank you.
