I will never tire of those bells! 6:13

[@richardguse3410]

Huge congratulation on the birth of "MissInvolvo'd". Our daughter proudly drives my old S60T5 (5-speed) with only 399,000 km here in Canada.

[@Involvod]

Thanks! That's really nice, I hope one day to be able to do the same!

[@PoulLausen]

Congratulations to the little family.

[@Involvod]

Thank you!

[@Phiyedough]

I know what you mean about the other enthusiasts, it does make a difference. when I lived in England I was in the BSA motorcycle club and they were very friendly and helpful. On the other hand, I had a 1960 Riley 1.5 and joined one of the Riley clubs. They were a snobby bunch who said my BMC car was not a proper Riley.

[@Involvod]

It's crazy isn't it! So many shit fights in other car communities, they're supposed to be on the same team

[@stevenjervis1184]

Love how the bells always ring when you're filming

[@Involvod]

They never stop 😂

[@GwenGreenberg]

Adorable baby! Congratulations! Please don't tell her about the Mercedes until she's old enough to understand.❤❤❤

[@Involvod]

Haha 😂 👍

[@henkefloda]

Congratulations to the little cute girl. the 740 looks fantastic with the sirius wheels :)

[@user-ONJFAN1998]

Hello Sledge and Mrs. Involvod! I congratulate you on the birth of your child, what happiness! 💞😘💋💝🤗💝💝Health, Love and Good luck to you, my beloved friends! 💝🤗👍 Wheels for Elsa 740 are called Sirius R15, by the way, I would advise you to hide the caps and make alloy wheels for one bolt secretly! And put caps on photo shoots! The 15s look better than the 14s although the alloy wheels on the 14s were Lepus (Arizona) & Dersus!

[@Involvod]

Thank you so much

[@Paopolomololl]

Congrats Dad!! Many blessings!

[@Involvod]

Thanks 🙂

[@RichieRouge206]

Huge congratulations to you and Mrs Involvo’d! The Volvo community is the best I’ve encountered and it’s heart warming to hear it’s not changing. Elsa will come round, the beauty of these is you CAN get to the bottom of it, no stupid electronic ECUs. As other followers have said, you have come on a long way with presenting the videos! Good on ya buddy! The alloys look BEAUTIFUL!

[@Involvod]

Thanks man I really appreciate that and your support as always 🙏

[@DeanofMachines]

Hands down, greatest community ever. Congrats on the new shop help. I can't wait to see the Elsa fix.
100% those wheels have been straightened out. Those wheels are one of the best looking original wheels

[@Involvod]

Thanks Dean 👍

Congratulations to you and Miss Involvo'd on the arrival of the little one! 😎

[@Involvod]

Thank you so much 😀

[@plymsat71]

Congratulations to you and Mrs Involvo'd! Cheers to many happy years of wrenching and cruising with your growing family! Here's a tip from a fellow Volvo dad - you can buy steel brackets that fit beneath/behind the fold down back cushion in the wagon to properly attach a baby seat. This provides the three attachment points you'll commonly find in modern cars without needing to modify an older vehicle.

[@Involvod]

Thanks! That's a great tip, after watching Whiteland Restorations here on RUclips fit an Isofix bracket to their 244 I was thinking about doing the same

[@lilianhansbaijens4971]

Congratulations to you and your family. Wish you all the best and good health..

[@freddiemaller]

Congratulation with your newest Volvo fan, he looks like a Gustaf to me🎉

Pity that whoever sold you those wheels didn't bother to re-finish (or even clean) the barrels on the inside!
Congratulations on the new addition to the Volvo Fan Club.

[@SorrowPolaris]

I really respect you for trying to keep your cars as original as it can be. My dream car is a 240 station wagon hopefully will be my first car :)

[@Involvod]

Thanks, it's not such a common thing anymore is it 😀 Best of luck with the search 🤞

[@MrSkoda105s]

Congratulations with the birth of your daughter! Wish you a happy time. For the Volvo; the closer it gets to fully original, the better. 👌🏻

[@Involvod]

Thanks, I agree!

[@mortimergladbreath]

Congrats on the beautiful new Volvo gal! I had those wheels on our 84 760 turbo back in the 80's. That car had an unsolvable issue as well, it would start and immediately die. Another start and it would keep going. I had it in every Volvo shop in Birmingham (Alabama) and no one was able to fix it. I started working on it myself and replaced everything but the hubcaps and it still had the problem when I sold it. Good luck with the 240!

[@Involvod]

Haha no way! 😂 Maybe it was a bad omen to fit these wheels, I hope history doesn't repeat itself 😆 Thanks man

[@mikestinyshedofdreams]

congratulations to you both. The Volvo lot are great, I made friends with some Volvo people back in the early 2000s, still friends to this day.

[@Involvod]

Thanks! So true, that's how it is 👍

[@Involvod]

Thanks, much appreciated 🙂

[@rbrtcrowther]

Had those wheels on my old 760 turbo . The fuel regulator leaked on mine which made it run richer and richer as it was leaking fuel into the manifold. I couldn’t figure it out and fit months until it let go completely and filled the engine up with petrol 😂

[@Paopolomololl]

Keep checking for open contacts on wire harnesses speccialyon the gounds that go to the body. Since you mention it has the ignition pickup verify the three cables that go into the ignition that they’re not broken or making bad contact inside the plug (happened to me once and it was similar to the issue you are having. Another thing could be the mass aiflow sensor harness plug or the sensor itself. That’s definitely a electrical problem influenced by temperature. I know youll find it sooner or later. BTW she looks gorgeous with those wheels.

[@Involvod]

Thanks, I appreciate it 👍

[@RichieRouge206]

One of my Nebs is badly flat-spotted 😢 and they’re in dire need of a refurb but it’s too expensive at the moment. I’ve put it at the back for the same reason. Those alloys really set it off! You nailed the 80s vibe fella

[@Involvod]

Thanks man! Yeah it's not cheap to get them repaired is it

[@ched999uk]

Congrats to you both. Wheels look great.

[@Involvod]

Thanks 👍

[@octavianrobert]

First of all congratulations for your beautiful child! And i just wanted to say, after hearing you talk about the Volvo community, i just joined this channel because i bought recently a 1993 940 sedan and i am very excited to work on it and fix it. It has no technicall inspection since 2004, but the engine works no problem, it's a D24T (or TIC, i don't know yet) . Has no rust on the body, just surface rust on the chasis. It's my first car and i am obsessed with cars. I love how involved ;) you actually are in explaining all the technicall bits of those cars. I am watching and learning. There is something with your voice too, therapeutic, relaxed and i like your personality, so i am going to keep watching. Keep up the great work and take care of your beautiful familly!♥

[@Involvod]

Very kind words indeed! Thank you so much, best of luck with your 940, the old 6 pot diesels sound fantastic!

[@einfeldt777]

🎉 Congratulations 🍾🎊
What a beautiful little Volvo fan girl 😎, nice wheel choice, they really compliment the car👍.

Thanks 🙂

[@carabara3947]

As far as the hot non starting could be something that when hot stick stopping fuel there was a cummins 6cylinder yrs ago did the same thing and the only way to get it to restart was to pour a watering can of cold water onto the injection pump for it to contract thus unjamming the inline pump

[@fannycraddock99]

Congratulations to both Ms Involvo'd and you Sledge on the birth of your beautiful daughter. Wishing you all good health and much happiness. Oh & the wheels look good. Classy not flashy.

[@Involvod]

Thanks 😀

[@eddienat1822]

Big congrats on your baby girl..! You can try out one more solution for your starting issues ie.. to add a relay to the starter motor...it works for most of my friends who has 740s and 940s as the climate over here in Malaysia is warm/hot throughout the years. Many of them were having the same starting issues and started right up (with just one crank) after the relay was added.
Let me know if it works..!!😁

[@Involvod]

Thanks for the tips!

[@irondonkey65]

Just a quickie regarding the hot start problem if you still have it. Have you checked the fan temperature sensor ? These often create a problem if giving a false reading to the ECU so maybe worth giving it a look over. Nice to see you are increasing the Involvo'd fold with a beautiful little addition to the family. All the best to you, Mrs. Involvo'd and baby Involvo'd, and keep up the good work.....we all love keeping up with your developments !

[@Involvod]

Thanks! This one doesn't have one, just the one for the ECU and the temp gauge, both in the head

I’ve just fitted some Virgos to my 940, it’s amazing how much of a difference a set if wheels make. And yeah the Volvo community is great. I’ve been into Volvos since I was a kid, particularly old boxy ones because of how much they stood out to other cars, but the community is definitely what led me to buy one for myself 👌

[@Involvod]

Agreed, total transformation! I was into Volvos as a kid too without realising it, must have been one of the few people that used to prefer driving the 'Regal' in GTA 1!
