Hey Rich, glad to hear it sounds like you figured it out... and that gives me a place to look for the problem with my '07 GT's soft close door intermittent function... as I'm thinking now it might be suffering from a similar tight wire situation... because it works fine if the car is parked on a slant, with the door "down-hill a good bit, but on the level it generally doesn't work... so I'll pull the door panel off and see what.
It is possible that the fault is just intermittant but I will keep an eye on it. It's also possible it was a fault caused by water ingress. When I got the car it rained for weeks on end, now, while in lock down, we have had very unusually for the UK, glorious weather for weeks on end. Everything is bone dry.

I'm glad too! I wasn't looking forward to getting that lock unit out and cutting out the microswitches...

Still working 100%. Auto close and windows are behaving perfectly.
I'm putting it down to the cable that was pulled really tight. It went from the latch unit to the door closer motor.

Thanks for the reply. I’ve suggested your solution to the specialist in the garage and so they’re going to take a look whilst the car’s in with them. I’m told they’ve seen it before on VW’s but this is a first on a Bentley.
If I’m being honest with myself mines definitely playing up a bit worse than yours (looking at your video) whereas mine is shuffling/jigging almost constantly when the passenger door is open, but not whilst it’s closed however.
Hopefully it can be sorted, will update when I find out more. Many thanks.
Jason
