I’m travelling on my BENTLEY Continental GT. Yellow brake pads wear light has come on. It lights up once when I start the engine. I’ve got another 1500 km to go. Will I reach my destination? P.S. Btw, I took the car to diagnostics at a dealership before the trip. I told them I’m going to drive 3500 km. They said everything is OK, including the pads.

    The light comes on when there are about 3-4 mm left before complete wear and tear. Unless you drive aggressively, I think you can drive 2-3 thousand km or even more.

    I have a 2008 gtc .I am having a new hood replacement. If any owner has recently purchased a gtc it could be well worth getting the hood straps replaced as over a period of time the alluminium rivets can stap which when opening the roof can puncture the hood. Alot less expensive. Jr

      Hello, where are you getting the hood replaced - can you recommend somewhere?
      My Bentley GTC 2007 already came with several holes on the rear passenger section (common problem, I read) and many of the strings are in a mess, but it amazes me by still working. It's going to need attention inevitably.

      Apologies @matkovska, it's not relevant to your thread, but I hope you got to your destination.
