Fun fact, almost everyone in sweden wants the american headlights for their 740, they cost around 1000 dollars in sweden. Lucky for you to have them stock on that car😉

I've had two 760 turbo sedans and they were my favorite cars ever. Huge regret selling them. This one looks like a good prospect for a restore by someone...wish it was me!

[@DeanofMachines]

Sadly this will be someone else’s responsibility

[@aidankennedy]

Happy Birthday! So pleased to see you saving a 745 Turbo. I’ve got a ‘90 745 Turbo in the darker metallic grey with 116,000 KM. I’ve owned a bunch of Volvos, including a ‘16 V60, but the 745 is by far my favourite.

[@DeanofMachines]

Thank you Aidan! Its funny how these cars seem to multiple. The Volvo community is the best!

[@johnlorrieboskovic2836]

Happy Birthday Dean! I want to compliment you on your unswerving focus on precision when it comes to resuscitating one of these neglected beauties. Had there been more sunshine available, I would have judged your gapping of the spark plug to be a Pinnacle in the Annals of Shade Tree Mechanicdom. Alas that there was no shade available. I hope that the end result of the rehoming of this Turbo Wagon is yet another Deanworthy machine.

[@DeanofMachines]

Well said! If anything my precise deduction of possible causes has been precisely parred down to a pint sized pump failure. Maybe radio suppression relay! Who knows. Thanks for the love either way!

[@algarcia7893]

Happy birthday Dean, hope you and the Mrs. have a fun day together. Can't wait to see the 242 Turbo on the street again. Really enjoyed your Turbobricks Mountain Meet video!

@@DeanofMachines I really enjoyed it! You are a Lucky man to get to find and clean those old volvos!

[@MrEsaleniuc]

Make sure you check your radio noise suppression relay and fuel pump relay. 740’s are notorious for not starting for a few simple reason. A quick google search will lead you to some old forums that give a extensive flowchart of no-start issues on 740’s and their solutions

[@DeanofMachines]

Alright, I’ll have a look

[@bobjohnson205]

It was a radio suppression relay that caused a no-start issue on my '90 740 last March. Installed a new RSR and away it went. 😊

[@HowtoRestoreHeadlights]

Yess! Let’s goooo! I know many who would buy that off you right now!

[@DeanofMachines]

It seems to be quite desirable!

[@Rickster621]

Sometimes the 740 had one in tank pump, and one inline. If you thwacked the inline with a little rubber mallet It would sometimes start working. Just saying.

[@DeanofMachines]

Ill take a look when I get a chance!

[@daviduhlik7848]

grounding strap from the valve cover to the firewall(happened to me more then once) or the relay that sits beside the power steering resevoir(noise supprension relay). 240 have a lot of parts that are the same form the never models with lh2.2

[@DeanofMachines]

I fixed the ground strap. RSR is a consideration

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Happy birthday for that day aha! Man this thing is so nice! Love the look of it brings back memories of my old 940

[@DeanofMachines]

Thanks bud! It definitely reminds me of your old 940. Simple, attractive style

[@gannicus1251]

Oh and the radio supresion relay gives power to the injectors and other stuff under le hood. That shity relay goes bad a lot.

[@DeanofMachines]

I will try to source one!

Whilst it is nice to watch you resurrect this 740, id stay away from it. I had 2 of these and man, they are really pain in the ass to work on. However, no harm trying to bring this back on the road.
