BUILDING A SCANIA V8 POWERED VOLVO FH | FIRST DRIVE | PT4 |  

Well done Bengineer. Hell of a task getting all that to work.

Well done Bengineer. that's one hell of a task getting all that working and driving

Hats off to Ben, that’s some doing, getting all that working together

Congrats Tim, what an achievement! Can’t believe my eyes that the Volvo FHV8 can run/drive! Well done to all the gang. Congrats mate

Well done ben on getting the volvo up and running but does anyone else just want to see the 4 series finished

Absolutely loved seeing you at Malvern, first people of the day to grab a photo with you, genuine nice guy like you see in the videos :)

Now this is what i enjoy on the trucker time youtube 😍😍😍

10:57 THAT TURBO 😫

15:13 - Amused to see that throttle pedal is the same as the brake pedal in my Volvo 960! :D

Why not put your build videos on the life of tim channel then you will get more content onto it 🤔

What an acheivement, well done Ben and Tim. What an awesome job. Cant wait to see it fully finished

28:26 Hey Tim, I thought you liked smoke! 😂

Grind 'em 'till you find 'em. Well done, that is one massive undertaking you've given yourselves there. Awesome to hear the griffin roar.

Oh the sound of that turbo!!! Absolutely awesome!! Well it drove out of the garage under its own steam, got to be its first run!! What an achievement 😊👍👏

Massive well done to Ben for al the hard work gone in to this Legend!!

Now that is exciting. I have to say you two make a good team. You are a good man for starting projects Tim and Benny is a good man for seeing them through.

Hi Tim matey and Ben matey 👍 it's mark from Wirral Merseyside 👍.. nice to see Ben has sorted Scania V8 engine in the Volvo and it's very first little tiny drive but at least it's working and moving. Definitely get everything else sorted out properly please and Ben is amazing for what he is doing you Tim and get the Volvo V8 as a driving and road worthy truck so you can use it for the road and a show truck aswell and get it painted. Great RU-vid video and i cannot wait for the next Volvo V8 RU-vid video..... Keep up the great work Ben 👍👍👍👍 and you Tim thanks from mark from Wirral Merseyside 👍

Bengineer is a bloody legend

Bengineer works so hard. Massive respect!

Videos with ben are by far your best content

How insanely cool! Bengineer what a legend!

17:46 Bens laugh about passing a DVSA inspection! Ben is right about the R series! lol

Great achievement, gents !!! Great progress. 👏👏👏

Perfect mr bean clip on the "haircut" had me howlin

That has been a hell of a job but ben you have done it . A number of adjustments and add a few more bits on and it will be quite an achievement ben cant keep a good engineer down

Bengineer is a GENIUS!

Well done bengineer and tim this is coming along nicely she starts on the key and moves steering maybe abit heavy can't wait for the finished project

Props to Bengineer, well done brother, I can't hardly wait to see it do a proper drive

Well done for getting it built so far, only time before you have it finished. I have to ask, when Tim says WE have built it, i wonder how much he has actually done compared to Ben🤔. Financing it isn't the same as actually figuring it all out and physically fitting parts.

Great progress well done bengineer 👍👍 can't wait see her fly

Love these types of vids Tim. Can’t wait for Fridays vid

Well done, Tim and Ben

Well done guys looks and sounds awesome. Tim hope there is going to be an appreciation video to bengineer for the awesome work and for having to make all the last minute changes you keep throwing at him. Love the videos keep it up guys.

Tim’s genuine excitement is infectious

Excellent progress tim and ben

Great acheavment getting the vo8vo moving with the working peddles , looking 4 ward to seeing it liveried up in your fleet line 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙

Great achievement now all it needs is stacks with flames and in Tim's colours

Well done Bengineer. Try bleeding the clutch from the gearbox and push clutch fluid up to the reservoir. You'll find it bleeds up easier. I've done it before with little oil can and rubber hose adaptor.

Tim is a top trucker real graffter 90 hours a week pays off ,muck sweat and gfaft .

Coming on well chaps ,well done Ben Tim

Thank you trucker Tim and Ben another brilliant video 👍

Brilliant video, really enjoyed this one

Hi trucker tim and Ben thank you for another fantastic episode as always keep them up 👍

Well done lads it up and running now time to get it finished

Good Video Tim! Cannot wait to see the Scania 4 Series in the future, ready for Ciney 2024.

Tim, you need to let Bengineer record some in depth videos up on the 2nd channel of the work he's doing. As great as it is having an update every few weeks, you're really missing on an untapped market here by not videoing this stuff. You have 3 projects on the go, and I don't think the progress update videos are enough. There's so much Ben's done to the VF8, it's a shame that it's not been documented for all to see considering how unique it is. I would totally watch a 20 minute video of him doing nothing but tracing an air leak, as he's a natural in front of the camera. Anyone who thinks they would find that sort of content boring can stick to the main channel, but I would deffo subscribe to that sort of content and it wouldn't mess with the main channel audience. Gutted there wasn't a build video for the simulator, as that would have been really good to see happen - it needed it's own episode really. You only have to look at Mat Armstrong to see how much people enjoy the spannering and no one really does it with these big lorries... as I said, untapped market. It does need rebranding from "Life of Tim" (which sounds too general) to something like "TT Builds" to show what the channel is about.

This is seriously impressive stuff! Hats off to Bengineer

Well done Ben you got there in the end with a bit of supervision 😂

Where the old engine was can be made into an under floor boot for merch storage!

“Just gonna give her a little snatch” 😂😂😂😂

Cleetus we need a big turbo hell yeah brother

Wow Tim what an ace truck you & Ben are building. I bet it been head stretching at times but just look how far it come. Can’t wait for you or Ben to take it for the first spin. 😂

In the end of the video you were wondering where Matthew Jackson went ........ he suddenly disappear .......... and I thought the same. Suddenly he was not around anymore :-) Anyway, he is not often at the garage, huh ?? I hope you can fulfil a run at the test ground of that airport soon. The Volvo starts looking like a teal Racetruck, with the engine further back. (but now days they are not like these anymore. I've seen all trucks from 1980 on when they start with truck racing. But in 2010 I had to stop because of financial probs.

Most fly by wire throttle pedals have dual wiring circuits you get some thing like 1-20 on one side and 20-1 on others so one sides going up others going down that way you don't get engine going wide at pedal inputs if one side fails.

Ahh yes, a 30 minute long video. Thanks Tim and Ben for blessing us with this content ❤

Excited for the next episode already! Wanna see it drive

all royalties from this vid should go to ben,i could feel his pain ,and i’m tens of thousands of miles away ,hats off to ben.

Another great video tim, that would probably be alot of fun going sideways drifting but I'd definitely put stacks on this possibly some eminox stacks if you can afford and find some. But I'd love to see this driving properly. And it would look good on the trailer behind either of your trucks or behind the 4 series where the engine came from.

100% did drive under own steam! Good job lads!

Great job @Bengineer!

Be good to extend the cab over the engine and make it an xl🤩

Well done to Ben that's gonna be a beast when done 👍👍

I respect the hustle of the FHV8 build, I have a bit of mechanical know how not as much as Ben the engineer. But I was watching and thought the truck was running a bit rich considering the smoke she was chucking out and also I’ll put this to you why not have a hydraulic clutch system which is normally on a Eaton fuller. Also to figure out gear ratio its gear ratio = teeth in driven gear. Same principle I guess as a motorcycle where is you change the sprocket size/number of teeth it changes ratio so you either end up with fast acceleration and low top speed or vice versa. If it helps I would love a shout out and hopefully a visit to the unit 😁

Saw you today on the A59 Longton by pass. Oh dear oh dear!

Love the work timbo ❤

Love the video's Tim keep up the good work 😊

Sutton 1/4 mile 🤣 the power station strip ill listen out for you drive

Well done TIm good luck for the rest

Well done lads 😊😊

The V8 looks like it would fit the chassis rails under the FH cab

I really like what tim is doing whit the volvos bit i woud love to see the 4 series projcet going on

I'm not a mechanic myself so might be wrong but is Ben an magician? It seems like the project moved forward soooo much in this video.

Being back the POV shots when driving

Wow that's cool and sound amazing

Yes indeed Tim, like the work nice video

That's a good job getting it going. Well done bengineer

Bengineer working wonders 😃

Amazing work ben

Wow well done to Ben for getting the lorry driving He is an asset to you Well done keep up the good work

Think it would have been easier to have put a Volvo Cab on a Scania chassis!! Step one remove everything from said Scania cab.... step two remove everything from Volvo cab.... step three put everything that came out of the Scania into the Volvo cab. All electrics are from the Scania but hidden behind a Volvo dash and cab. Still you obviously love a huge challenge Tim amd Ben!!! 😂😂

It It's a proud moment for Ben-gin-ear 👌love it guys

Big fan of all of ur trucks keep on tagging along

I remember when that flooring in the unit was new 👀

Imagine having Bengineer on your team 🤯. What an absolute weapon in the most respectful way Ben . Tim you need to be careful he doesn’t get tapped up because the man is worth his weight in gold . ….. ……and then some . Did someone say Bengineer Mechanical Genius as a RU-vid channel ? X

Darn it, first time I'm late to a video! Guess I'll eat it during BREAKFEST! haha... Keep it up, looking good so far Tim!

Good job Ben 👍

6:50 i was like nope this aint going to plan XD, jeeez mate id be running for that plate for 3 seconds erlier

She is looking good well done ben

bengineer for the win on this one

Ben seriously needs a bigger workshop done all that work with no room. Good effort

Well done 👍

TiM I mean ben you did a thing 😅👍👍

all credit ben you doing a fab job

bleeding clutch on older volvos, 4ltr oil container put a couple of ltrs of brake fluid in it fasten 24 volt f10 or f12, 24 volt windscreen washer pump to container , incorparate push button between battery and pump, inlet hose into container outlet hose to clutch servo and crack bleed nippel and bleed system backwards sending fluid up into resavoir bottle its the only way, must be 24 volt volvo pump more push than 12 volt

9:50 Febi probably make the bits for those Scania pedals originally!!!

30:34 great content again

Sounds great

Well done Tim not bad at all

Going to be ace 🎉🎉🎉

Big fan of all of ur trucks 🛻 keep on tagging along 😂😊
