1994 Rolls Royce Silver Spur III from North America - Comments

Green mineral fluid leaks from rear brake reservoir.

Power steering seals leak fluid.

Leaks engine oil from front seal of timing cover.

This car is reliable, powerful, refined, comfortable, has unsurpassed elegance, snob appeal and is an engineering masterpiece.

This car leaks all types of fluids.

Does it leak oil from the 8-track?

This car does not have an 8 track! If it did, it would probably leak oil there. I love the car, but that is its only fault. It doesn't leak enough oil to be a problem, just enough that it speckles your driveway and garage.

I have a 1994 RR SS III. By 1994 all the bugs were out of the suspension system. I have 22,500 miles on the car. I have had no leaks, but have had a previous problem with the drivers side window and had a rear wheel bearing failure. The car is a dream. I previously owned a 1987 1/2 (pre-20,000 series) RR Silver Spirt, but found it was under powered and had numerous electrical shorts in the Lucus electrical switches. The SS III has none of the prior problems and has all the power one could wish for.

I own a 1990 silver spur II beautiful car! I have had to replace accumulators, right rear shock, fuel pump, and alternator. The ecu was replaced before I bought the car. It leaks very little- just a few drops now and then. The ride is OK- perhaps a little noisy (rattles ect). In spite of these issues, I love the car. There is a genious to the design and detail which blows away the other newer cars around me.

I have a silver spirit and it has a few leaks underneath. Can anyone say what they are most likely to be? Any help is appreciated. e mail me if you can gerry@freelancecameramen.co.uk.

These are great cars for the money. One caveat would be that owners of these machines seldom use them! Fluids break down over time and they also corrode the hydraulic rubber bits etc. In fact these fluids, if the car sits not used, degrade a vehicle more so than if it was used! The hydraulic fluid will eat the rubber over time while the car sits. Then the owner starts the car for first time in months and pieces of rubber breaks off and gets into the system. An older Rolls Royce with low miles equals suspension hydraulic problems. People assume that the hydraulics are the problem. Service regardless of mileage and include a change to all the fluids. Then, these things will go forever!

If you buy one and its been sitting for more than a year, have it towed to a good Rolls shop. Drain and replace all the fluids before the first start. Doing so you'll avoid problems.
