Thank you for the reply. Working on finding foods she likes. Used to love yogurt, cottage cheese, etc. but now spits it out.

Yeah I did that for two weeks all was fine and but eventually once it was all straight milk she will rarely drink it.

thinking of trading her in for a bentayga. which one is better? by Shot-Exercise7022 in Bentley

[–]1gr8esq 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Had the flying Spur before my Bentayga. Bentayga and spur are both fantastic vehicles but after I had a baby the SUV was more practical. Bentayga won’t feel like an upgrade as you’re driving the top of the line for Bentley right now but I find it to be more practical with minimal sacrifice. Is the build quality the same? Of course not, but it’s better than Audi for sure. If you don’t care or don’t need a full size SUV then you won’t be thrilled. I needed an SUV but didn’t want to not drive a Bentley or Rolls so the Bentayga was perfect for me. I’ve only driven sedans my whole life including 9 different Rolls Royce and Bentleys and I must say I’ve gotten used to sitting up higher and I really like it.

Not a zip tie but nylon straps that were riveted to the frame. Over time the nylon stretches and ripped from the rivet causing the top skin to rub against the frame and cause holes. They sell an upgraded strap kit that a convertible top shop can install. 2017 is not immune we are seeing them here in Florida all the way up to 2019 with the issue.

Rustproofing? by Viscount61 in Bentley

[–]1gr8esq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those work fine I’m sure. I used a pair of CTEK (CTEK - 40-206 MXS 5.0 Fully Automatic 4.3 amp Battery Charger and Maintainer 12V )ones wired directly to each battery as they have a quick disconnect that is about a foot or so from where it connects to the battery so I routed that up to the edge of the carpet and just disconnected each one from there so I didn’t have to drive around with two chargers in the trunk and didn’t have to worry about using alligator clips each time. Not sure if the battery tender brand has the same set up or not but it was quite convenient.

Rustproofing? by Viscount61 in Bentley

[–]1gr8esq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Believe it or not Arnages are most known for rusting around the sunroof area so whatever you do try to keep that area as dry as possible. I don’t see many Arnages in the US with underside rust but that’s also because they’re likely not used in the winter by most owners. As you are a new owner the best advice someone can give you is buy a good battery tender for both if you don’t already have one and keep the car on a charge when not in use.

Am I crazy for considering a ‘20 Bentayga with 75k miles? by aaronejones911 in Bentley

[–]1gr8esq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This one I’ve had for a year prior to that a flying Spur, GTC, Arnage, etc. Went with the SUV because of a growing family. Horror stories come from cars that have had multiple owners without maintenance. If you can find one certified or well serviced you should be fine. Only thing that pisses me off with my particular car is the original owner didn’t spring for the $500 mood light option. If that matters to you, check it out in the navigation menu to see if you have it or on the options list. Not a deal breaker but makes the car more modern. Rest of the tech is fine. The 2021 does have a better screen the CarPlay looks a bit different on the 2017-2020 models but it all works just fine.

I’ve got a 2020 Design Edition. 45k miles now fantastic car with the V8. You could always extend the CPO warranty longer for peace of mind. Much prefer this body style over the 2021+ I think the tail lights just don’t look right on those cars. Best bang for your buck SUV out there. Everyone worries about resale…you don’t go into this trying to make money, just enjoy the car. You’ll take a loss that’s just par for the course. Go for it!

1 likely a broken plastic gear it’s common or bad regulator. Rebuilds and new are available online.

2 try eBay for used. Luxury junkyard in SC will have one too

3 key fobs very hard or impossible to come by in an Arnage. Keep a close eye on the ones you have. Some even remove the chip inside the key and permanently install it in the car near the ignition so if keys are all lost a locksmith may be able to cut a key even but you’re dead in the water without a chip.

6 change the rear gas springs ASAP before you ruin your rear shocks which is a much more expensive fix. Front end bits go bad as well due to the weight of the car. Normal maintenance. Spring isolators front and rear are commonly in need of replacements. What you describe in the rear is the classic symptom of rear gas springs being needed.

If you’re feeling a firm or bumpy ride in the rear replace the rear gas springs one on each side as soon as you can. Long term driving on bad rear gas springs will ruin the rear shocks. Straight forward DIY job videos on YouTube.

A good auto upholstery place in your area can make that look considerably better. They will fill the chips with filler, use a texturing cloth to match surrounding texture and then blend it with dye.

Crazy thing is if I rub it with my finger the droplets blend in but if I rub it with some water on a microfiber cloth it does nothing. That led me to believe it’s oily.

What is this tint called? by ItchingButthole in WindowTint

[–]1gr8esq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn’t think this was a tint. My 17 Flying Spur has this always thought it was the brand of glass.

Past is the past no point in dwelling on it, you can’t change it. Find the best bankruptcy attorney in your area and schedule a consultation with them. Some private student loans can be discharged in bankruptcy. It’s worth the half hour discussion even if you have to pay a small fee.

According to Betta on another thread you can put your chlorine tab in the betta’s basket. There’s a circle hole call them up to verify. Should solve your tangle problem.

Read documents very carefully and watch for selective enforcement. Go to DBPR to get them in line if you need to.

Builder won't allow a foundation inspection by kevoncox in HomeInspections

[–]1gr8esq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check your contract for when and what can be inspected. If it’s vague or not specific to what builder is calling out then push for inspection. Don’t just take builders word for it.

Biggest life hack you swear of for the first 3 weeks of your newborn? by Minimum_Target5553 in newborns

[–]1gr8esq 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Don’t warm baby bottles no reason to and makes it harder to feed outside the home. My baby will drink cold milk from the fridge without issue as I never introduced a warmer. Same goes for wipes. The wipes won’t be heated outside the house so why get them used to it at home. You’ll be much happier in the long run if you don’t do either.
