This may be a silly question, but what is the function of the "service plate" (picture below) in the boot. My car has a few cryptic characters and numbers scratched into a couple of the boxes on the plate, but I know not why or what they mean. eg/Should I be documenting any recommended service upgrades I do myself on this plate? Any advice or clues??  GN. | ||

That's the Shame Plate, where the dealer stamps to register modifications done under safety recall, not for routine improvements or modifications. Mine has a bold stamp RE888, whatever that is. It is not scratched or scribed. The first ever recall for Rolls-Royce was to correct non-disengagement of the early Silver Shadow II cruise control, the first CC which was electronically controlled on an R-R. RT. | ||

Rchard, "RE888" was the recall for cars painted in metallic green as that color slowly emitted an arsenic gas over time. What color is your car? Larry  | ||

Richard, Arsenic is a slow heavy-metal poison. Don't worry about it unless, as you age, you find your hair thinning, your joints getting stiffer, and yourself becoming more forgetful...  GN, | ||
