In Part 1 of this 3-part series, Matt Duncan from IntroCar provides an exhaustive guide on dismantling a Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow Brake Pump. From the initial preparation and required tools to the disassembly of key components such as the non-return valve and piston-barrel assembly, this guide serves as an invaluable resource for experts dealing with Rolls-Royce and Bentley brake systems.

We are excited to report that our Valve Stem Seals - UE7428NF and UE75351 - are now back in stock!

IntroCar managing director John Tupper explains more about how replacement parts are made for the Prestige Parts® range when engineering drawings are not available for Rolls-Royce & Bentley motorcars. 

These bumper rubbers are constructed, like the originals, from a microcellular polyurethane synthetic rubber, but - unlike the original component - utilise stainless steel internal reinforcement, to ensure that the distortion and rust that was a feature of the original component is no longer a concern.

In this video Matt Duncan introduces the full range of Prestige Parts thermostats for Rolls-Royce & Bentley models - from the early cars all the way through to the Arnage series. 

They all work on the same principle that there is a container of wax sitting in the cooling system and the wax, when it gets to the right temperature, will expand so much that it forces out a pin inside which in turn opens a valve. 

We are excited to announce a new Prestige Parts® reseller for the European market: Rohdins Classic Car in Sweden.

The Prestige Parts® range was created for the Rolls-Royce & Bentley aftermarket as a source of parts and spares for these classics where otherwise No Longer Available (NLA).

Matt talks about the new improvement to our wheel cylinder kits, for the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud and Bentley S series… which now include the spreader – just like factory parts!

The Prestige Parts® replacement diaphragm-type clutch uses a completely new mechanism, designed for use with modern friction lining materials, and has been developed with the technical input of renowned Rolls-Royce and Bentley specialists.

This kit may be used to replace both 10” and 11” clutches on both left and right hand drive post-war Rolls-Royce and Bentley vehicles equipped with manual gearboxes and comes with a three-year warranty.

John introduces some of the products in the Prestige Parts Moulding range along with some additions and updates.

Anyone who follows IntroCar will see that we have already produced some of the Shadow, Silver Shadow II, Bentley T2 and Corniche quarter bumper mouldings...

This new range of suspension bushes are for the Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph and the early Bentley Arnage series which includes the Green Label, the Red Label and also the Birkin and Le Mans models.

These bumper components have been manufactured from microcellular polyurethane (as per the original Rolls-Royce component), and are reinforced with steel inserts. However, the original inserts were prone to rust, so the Prestige Parts® reinforcement plate has been fabricated from stainless steel. Age causes another issue: the effect of UV light and heat causes the quarter bumper to distort, pulling the end away from the body of the car, so in the case of the Prestige Parts® bumpers the thickness of the steel plate used for reinforcement has been increased by 50%.
