Common Problems: ROLLS ROYCE GHOST
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Turbo Coolant Line Leaks(Serious)
The rubber coolant lines feeding the twin turbochargers sit in the "V" of the engine and become brittle from heat.
- Valve Cover Gasket and Oil Leak Issues(Moderate)
The N74 V12 engine's valve cover gaskets deteriorate with age, causing oil leaks that can drip onto the exhaust manifold and create a burning oil smell. In severe cases, oil can contaminate spark plugs causing misfires.
