hi Rob,

did you get an answer on this elsewhere?
I took my RR sC to the stealership yesterday for a service and to diagnose a noisy idle - sounds like a sewing machine at times.

The told me they found sources of noise:

1. Supercharger isolator - $2200
2. Timing chain tensioners and guides - $4500

holy cr*p!!
Looking online it appears one can get hold of the superchargers isolator kit for under $200, so can only assume the dealership are putting a massive markup on parts or the job is a real b*tch and take a couple of days...

I'm defintely up for the challenge of doing that myself.
Timing chain situation not so much - as i'm sure thats a lot tricker to get to...but again wondering how much the parts actually cost for that.

Keen to understand how long these things would take - and if there are any friendly mechanics in and around richmond, VA who might fancy some beer lol

thanks Special Ed.

researching the isolator - tht seems like something I would be comfortable doing.
Just moved to the states from the UK and the RR is our only car at the moment so need to time it for when the wife isn't needing the car for a day or so.

timing chains sound a bit more of a job and maybe something I should not embark upon myself.
wouldn't want to cock up the engine. eek

will have to save my pennies for that one. oucheee
