Rolls-Royce Motors

"Rolls-Royce Limited was formed on March 15, 1906 by Charles Stewart Rolls and Sir Frederick Henry Royce. In 1973, the car division of Rolls-Royce was separated from the parent company and called Rolls-Royce Motors. The company was acquired by Vickers in 1980 and then sold to Volkswagen in 1998. In 2002, Volkswagen sold it to BMW, who currently owns it.

Rolls-Royce Group PLC's pricing strategy?

Rolls-Royce is like any other large manufacturer of this sort of thing: they negotiate each contract individually. Rolls-Royce used to make three things: jet engines, heavy-duty diesel engines and automobiles. Today they only make jet engines; their diesel engine factory belongs to Perkins Engines, and Rolls-Royce Motor Cars belongs to BMW.

There are a lot of factors that go into a contract. First of course is quantity. It is far less expensive to make a batch of 1000 engines than to make 1000 engines over the course of five years. It costs less to sell 1000 engines to one customer than to sell 1000 engines to forty different people. It's less expensive to deliver 1000 engines to one customer than to deliver them to 40 different customers--if forty people each order 25 engines they'll be delivered on trucks, and you'll need three loads per customer. For a thousand engines I'm calling a railroad. Plus materials costs are lower--again, scale. If I need 100 pounds of titanium per engine I can buy 100,000 pounds of it at one whack cheaper than I can negotiate out the price for 40 different buys.

It would be nice to say "Rolls-Royce's pricing strategy is materials + value added + profit" but in the real world of industrial procurement it rarely works that way.

How much does a 1996 Rolls-Royce cost?

the rotor is the part that spins inside the alternator (like the armature in an electric motor) current is fed into it creating electromagnetism, the stator, the other part of the alternator which surrounds the rotar is also fed with current and also becomes a series of electromagnets. When these are both fed and the rotor is turning inside the stator a high magnetic field is created between the two parts being....electricity!

How long does it take to build a Rolls-Royce?

Approximately three and a half months from order and deposit to delivery for a Phantom SWB and depending on production priorities. Unlike other custom hand built car brands, often called "bespoke cars," like Maybach or Bentley which can take longer to manufacture, The BMW owned Rolls Royce Motor Car, sold in the 2008 model year, as the Phantom SWB (Standard Wheelbase) or LWB (Long Wheelbase) Saloons, and the Phantom Fixed and Drop Head Coupes, take a little less time than other brands from order to finished hand assembly. Once you give the dealer the required $50,000 USD deposit, you have 48 hours to change your mind, otherwise the deposit is non-refundable. Depending on current orders, that is to say a sultan from an Emirate does not order 50 of them all at once for Rolls Royce to stop making your car, close the factory for an indefinite period, and exclusively build that Sultan's 50 Phantoms. This has really happened before, and still can. You'll then have to wait. This is in the contract you signed when you left your deposit. This is a reason why it could be the year 2008 and in the month of October you could be just taking delivery of your brand new 2007 Phantom--a drawback to new RR ownership . . . Sultan aside, usually within 72 hours after you sign the contract at the dealer and hand over the deposit, at the Goodwood Leicestershire UK factory, your Phantom actually will start to be hand assembled. When finished they like to keep the car at the plant for about a week for quality control to get the bugs out. If you opt to standard ship it overseas by boat (takes about 7-10 days to North America), the regional Rolls Royce Office in the country the dealer is located (ie Rolls Royce North America Port Elizabeth, NJ) will keep it for another week to make sure Goodwood stamped all the bugs out. This is why Rolls Royce never warranties their cars at mileage 0 and why a new Rolls Royce always has a few dozen miles on it before an owner takes delivery--the warranty starts when they hand you the keys to the car. Bespoke cars are hand made which allows for more error, so test driving is mandatory to ensure quality control. It is then the salesman's responsibility to ship your car from regional to the dealer. If the dealer is close to the regional they may actually drive your car themselves. For an extra charge you can have your Phantom put an a 747 jumbo cargo jet to be shipped anywhere you want in the world for your salesman to be there to hand you the key. . . Roll Royce usually delivers their products to the new owner's residence or work place with an on-site orientation on the car's features, and to my knowledge, rarely does a customer come into the dealer to take delivery, like most of us do when we buy a new car. A dealer on average sells one car per month, for the saloons (sedans) less than 1000 per year worldwide. I believe they're planning on making less than 500 coupes per year. This answer is predicated on the assumption one does not order a limited production run, or one of the coupes, or any special edition that will be rare (ie "Centenary Edition" or "Phantom Black"), or a car that has been "tricked out" with lots of bespoke options (not on the options list but put in the car anyway, like an exclusive color or wood veneer in places it normally isn't)--such cars take longer to delivery time, usually around 6 months, sometimes up to a year. The rarer the car the longer the time. Very good interesting question--pardon the long answer, but I do hope this answers it for you.

How do you bleed the brakes on a 1967 Rolls-Royce silver shadow?

Ok, on a shadow, the braking system is comprised of a set of "2", Pistons that are in the intake valley, that provide the high pressure to the accumulators. There are 4 front calipers. The rear- most calipers are the low pressure ones. The shadow has a, " rat's nest", that is the epicenter of the system since there is no master cylinder. If you have brake failure lights( System one, system two), low pressure. Do yourself a favor and start the car, raise it up while running and crack the bleeders loose on the high pressure accumulaters, one at a time.( only loosen them a little), they are supposed to have 3000psi of pressure. You will quickly know if they do not. ( they may squirt a stream of fluid?, but it will Peter-out), not 3k psi for sure. Ok, read closely. The pressure Pistons are in the plate in the intake valley. ( front and rear). The Pistons were designed with a flaw that caused them to seize and break. So, if you only have brake failure on one or the other?, then you have one seized piston. This is a labor intensive operation. You thought that the crap in the resovior was the only prob?, Check the high pressure output. Bleeding?, take the cover off off the "Rat's nest, underneath the car. The brake pedal will lead right to it. Have your assistant pump the brake pedal, then bleed the system at the rearmost visible bleeder,then move to the right rear, (engine stopped), this is a low pressure operation., then left rear, then the right, front, rearmost caliper, then the left front, rearmost caliper,( the front most calipers are high pressure units, and not part of this deal. And yes, good ole fashioned DOT3 fluid. No doubt. I hope this helps. Please reference YouTube rolls Royce shadow brake seminars1-6? ( the SoCal rolls club prez knows his stuff.). Good luck PS. The very worst case is when the camshaft lobes are worn flat and the Pistons are not broken. But I seriously doubt this happens often. ( Rolls uses superior metals as we know), so this not so likely.:)

ANSWER 2 - Be fully prepared to engage your Bafflegab Detector when reading the above crap.
