1971 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud from UK and Ireland - Comments

My car has developed a problem I find impossible to rectify, all windows fog up inside for no apparent reason

Turning on the heater only makes the problem worse.

The car is in excellent condition and drives beautifully.

One possible cause is water leakage which leads to wet carpets or other parts of the ineterior (under or behind the dash for instance). However, a proper demist can be made by combining heater AND air-conditioning at the same time...

This is curious as there is no such thing as a 1971 Silver Cloud. Production of the Silver Cloud ended in 1965.

My 1956 slver cloud have a miss in it, can any body tell me the points setting and the timing setting.

My 1956 siver cloud 1 have a miss in it, can any body tell me the points setting and the timing setting.

It would look nice with a miss in it.

I would have to say the reason your windows are misting is because of a small leak in the heater core.

These machines are actually quite simple to maintain once one is familiar with their details and the very high build quality makes them a pleasure to work on. On seaking one out to purchase however, be aware that the average owner will have given the aesthetics (paint, chrome, etc) much more attention than the mechanics. Watching the main bearings pour out (in the form of grey babbit) along with the typically filthy motor oil is an experience I have witnessed all too frequently.
