My !992 Mulsanne S needs new (engine) gaskets
Discussion
Dear Sirs:
My Mulsanne S 92 has not been running for about 4 years. It was smoking thru the exhaust heavily, and I got tired and frustrated with large bills that did not fix up the problem, here in Portugal. Finally, the culprit was found: a faulty spark plug, that's all there was!
I was repeatedy ripped off. By several "so called" mechanics. But even Bentley Portugal failed to check for such a basic thing as a spark plug.
Now, the engine is running perfectly, but the car leaks oil and so I need gaskets.
I have checked pricing directly from Bentley Portugal and I found pricing to be exagerated. For example, a carter gasket will run to Euros 200, while valve cover gaskets will cost 100 Euros each!
Can anyone suggest a site where I can buy these and other engine gaskets cheaper?
Thank you in advance for your help!

Rocker cover gaskets are a nightmare as they changed from cork to rubber at the tail end of production, the cork ones are NLA and to do the conversion costs lots as there are a variety of bits you need. I was quoted about £700 to change them but mine is a late one with plenums to remove (which also require new gaskets!) so yours will be less.
