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

[@Bengineer.]

Your not kidding there, but it's been a good challenge

[@aaronjackson9099]

Dengineer and trucker Tim keep up the good work could I have a shout out on the next video

[@marcuskirby9299]

Agreed. He’s a very clever boy👏👏

[@chrishines6048]

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

[@Bengineer.]

Thanks, it's Been fun getting to this stage

[@lenmanning6625]

@@Bengineer. you absolute legend. Tim doesn't know how luck he is to have you.. keep up the good work.. loving the content

[@Bengineer.]

@lenmanning6625 that's a bold statement (legend) but I try my best

[@owenlambert3456]

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

[@alexmcwhirter4131]

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

[@paulstaniland6682]

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

[@BlackBurn-1985]

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 :)

[@JasperJJCGaming13]

I agree

[@TruckerTim]

Thanks so much , was great to meet everyone 👍

[@Swag_N_Bear]

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

[@jonnyrogers3789]

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

[@trevorjarvis3021]

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 😊👍👏

[@trevorabbot3687]

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

[@Bengineer.]

Sounds like an idea to me

[@Martin_V8]

Yes cuz i’m not interested in builds (but am hauling/show video’s)

[@Mr.M1STER]

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.

[@kiaceratomadman]

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 KZbin video and i cannot wait for the next Volvo V8 KZbin video..... Keep up the great work Ben 👍👍👍👍 and you Tim thanks from mark from Wirral Merseyside 👍

10:57 THAT TURBO 😫

[@Bengineer.]

She sounds awesome

[@Generalz-gaming]

@@Bengineer. she does truly

[@INFLICTEDPAIN213]

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

[@BrianJensen-ym5gk]

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

[@Bengineer.]

She certainly does sound sweet!

[@Volvoman90]

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

[@lenmanning6625]

Videos with ben are by far your best content

[@Daytonafox1]

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

[@Bengineer.]

Is that a legend or a leg-end 😆

[@jayjtattoo313]

Bengineer is a bloody legend

[@RenModus]

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.

[@trainspotter446]

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.

[@kleshutrucker]

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

[@ciderant]

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.

[@Bengineer.]

We all play apart in bringing these projects to live...without each other they wouldn't happen and at times Timbo can be hands on 👍

[@ciderant]

I noticed Tim got a fright trying to pick up the clutch pressure plate, so I just wondered how hands-on he got. I would love to have seen Tim struggle with fitting a flywheel knowing how heavy they are😂😂😂

[@Bengineer.]

@ciderant well...I don't let him get that's hands on of course.....or I would be out the job

[@jackking5567]

Bengineer works so hard. Massive respect!

[@Bengineer.]

👍

[@MrTwister86660]

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

[@ACCORDriver_NL]

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

[@stranskyv452]

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.

[@Bengineer.]

Thanks.....its had its ups and downs but we are moving forward everytime

[@freddorey7983]

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

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

[@hamd5983]

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

[@HughzieTube]

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

[@johnburch8358]

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

[@Dan_Gyros]

How insanely cool! Bengineer what a legend!

[@garrygrant2827]

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

[@Damien-omen666]

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

Coming on well chaps ,well done Ben Tim

[@121dhl]

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.

[@markperkins2738]

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

[@garrywoods8249]

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

[@alanburgess3977]

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 😁

[@CPCarpentry2022]

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

[@Bengineer.]

That brings back memories 😂

[@deepfiix]

Bengineer is a GENIUS!

[@Bengineer.]

That's a very bold statement, but I will except it 😂😅

[@user-lv4zp1qc3b]

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

[@AdmPugh]

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. 😂

[@TruckerTim]

Cant wait to be able to take it to shows! Great to see you again at the weekend 👍

[@c5twenty562]

Tim’s genuine excitement is infectious

[@karlthomas5746]

Cleetus we need a big turbo hell yeah brother

[@Andybowers]

Well done, Tim and Ben

[@Bengineer.]

Thanks

[@kellychick7647]

Thank you trucker Tim and Ben another brilliant video 👍

[@OscarHoogendoorn]

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.

[@IFezzaI]

Excited for the next episode already! Wanna see it drive

[@mattboam7637]

Brilliant video, really enjoyed this one

[@IgorNowy642]

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.

[@mattbarr510]

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

[@paulleaver8820]

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

[@Bengineer.]

Full steam ahead as always!

[@heinz551]

This is seriously impressive stuff! Hats off to Bengineer

[@Bengineer.]

Thanks....its definitely a project that has its ups and downs but we are getting there now!!

[@ThePakmanOfficial]

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

[@Yourlocalbusethusiast]

Ciney truckshow was three weeks ago…

[@buckrogers2828]

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.

[@eterne8688]

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

[@craigpottage1386]

Excellent progress tim and ben

[@Bengineer.]

Thanks

[@CPCarpentry2022]

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

[@tmd0119]

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

[@georgeratcliffe7752]

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

[@richardhunt1384]

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!!! 😂😂

[@Bengineer.]

Where's the fun in taking the easy option 😂😂

[@Vt71-y9s]

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

[@jacobunderhill4865]

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

[@AaronCable-tf9tt]

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.

[@Pete-oq6pb-watchmanwebby-karen]

Well done lads 😊😊

Dirty floor...means progress 😂😂

[@LarneyJ]

@@Bengineer. still be spotless if Tim was on his own 😂

@@LarneyJ it sure would, so a bit of dirt on the floor is a good sacrifice to make to see the projects moving forward

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 KZbin channel ? X
