At this mileage and under normal motoring conditions it is recommended that the fol lowing servicing is carried out.
Renew all the flexible hoses to the braking systems and the automatic height control system.
Fit new seals to the disc brake calipers and the decel era ti on conscious pressure Ii mi ting valve.
Completely drain the fluid from the hydraulic circuits. Thoroughly clean the brake fluid reservoirs and sight glasses, ensuring that no foreign matter is allowed to enter during the operation.
Fi II the hydraulic system with Castro I RR 363
Brake Fluid. This fluid exceeds specification
S.A.E. J1703b in many respects and complies with
D.O. T. 3 grade of FMVSS 116. Bleed the braking systems and automatic height control system.
Fit a new convoluted rubber hose between the fuel filler head and fuel tank assembly. Examine all flexible fuel pipes and renew any which show signs of deterioration.
Special Precautions .
Should the car be used in very cold temperatures, drain the engine sump when thoroughly warm and also drain the carburetter air valve dampers. The engine sump and carburetter air valve dampers should then be filled with oil having the following viscosity. ·
For constant temperatures of between O" C.and
- 23 °C.(32° F.. and - 10° F.), use a 10W/30 grade oil.
For constant temperatures of - 23
°

Essential Maintenance
The schedules listed under this heading are the minimum maintenance requirements necessary to comply with the Rolls-Royce New Car Warranty and the Australian Emission Regulations.
Preventive Maintenance
These schedules are aimed at securing the maximum life and efficiency for the car and should only be carried out at the request of the Owner.
Owners are advised to consult a Distributor/
Retailer or the Service Voucher Book concerning important additional preventive maintenance.
Regular Maintenance
The Owner should ensure that the following schedules I is ted under the heading Regu I ar
Maintenance are carried out.

Every 160 000 kilometres (96 000 miles)
At this mileage and under normal motoring conditions it is recommended that the following servicing is carried out.
E10 ~ 4
r-
Hydraulic systems
Renew all the flexible hoses to the braking systems and automatic height control system. Fit new seals to the disc brake calipers and the deceleration conscious pressure limiting valve.
Fuel system
Fit a new convoluted rubber hose between the fuel filler head and fuel tank assembly. Examine all flexible fuel pipes and renew any which show signs of deterioration.
Special precautions
Should the car be used in very cold temperatures, drain the engine sump when thoroughly warm and also drain the carburetter air valve dampers. The engine sump and carburetter air valve dampers should then be filled with oil having the following viscosity.
For constant temperatures of between O °C. and
-23°C. (32"F. and -10°F.) use a IOW/30 grade oil. For constant temperatures of ·23°C. (·10°F.) and below, use a 5W /20 grade oi I.
