Justin lists this pretty completely. The front/rear may ba a bit confusing. The Fron t of teh engine is pointed at you when you are sitting in it. I am personally not afraid of the front seal replacement. It is an easy job, really. Just take care and follow Tom's directions. I do the starter slam to loosen the bolt. The real main seal is at the front of the car. Do this with the clutch. I would think a novice might have a bit of trouble with it. The ball joints and other suspension stuff is well documented on Dave New's and Twin Saabs web page with pictures. The procedure is also on Tom Townsend's page as well. This information with a Bentley will be useful. If you are going to keep this car, this will have to be done or the car sold. Even with a bit of cash put into it, it will be cheaper than getting a new car. One important piece of information is the freeze plug. If it is leaking, it may portend a cooling system problem in the future. This could be as simple as a radiator/thermostat or may include a head gasket (quite probable). Usually, when freeze plugs leak, it is indicative of corrosion from the back side. This indicates poor cooling system maintenance over its life so far. The positive side is that it can all be cured... Let us know your decision.
