Rolls-Royce Ghost
The smaller saloon, and the Rolls-Royce with the most transferable diagnosis: the first generation is built on the BMW 7 Series platform of its day, with BMW engine management, BMW module names and a BMW-derived electrical architecture. Where marque-specific information runs out, the equivalent 7 Series is usually the same component with the same failure.

Information, not instruction
CarGeek is a reference, not a service manual. Its pages are written from public sources and from what other people have found, never from a manufacturer's own service information, so they can be wrong or incomplete for your particular vehicle. Some of what they describe carries real risk: high voltage, fuel under pressure, stored energy, hot and moving parts.
Have anything you intend to act on checked by a trained person against the manufacturer's own procedure for your vehicle. Nothing here replaces that procedure.

What makes one worth reading:
- The car — make, model, year and engine. The same fault behaves differently on each.
- What you measured, not only what you replaced.
- What actually fixed it — or that nothing did, which is worth knowing too.
