I like this muchly! Good to see young Laura taking part, even if she didn't know what all the bits were! 🙂 So good to see you all looking so well and happy! 🙂
Awesome and pawsome at the same time. Great unboxing day, which begs the question, what will you be doing on boxing day? Lovely channel, fantastic videos and fun between the serious business. Perfick.
Hey guys.....just wanted to say this short episode was very enjoyable! Seems good fun especially with the fig getting involved. Ps....looks like you got very good parts from the supplier...look forward to the next episode!
I lost my faith in SKF in the early noughties when I bought a sealed bottom bracket for my mountain bike. It creaked from day one, and was a little bit loose on the non-drive side (I believe the cup was machined too loose a fit for the bottom bracket body). I took it back thinking they'd honour the warranty, and apparently it was sent abroad (to Germany?) to be tested. I was informed that it was machined to their tolerances and as far as they were concerned there was nothing wrong with their product. That would have been the best part of 20 years ago now, I've bought Enduro bearings ever since. I know I used to put a huge amount of torque through the bottom bracket, but it shouldn't creak if it's properly made. Way to go SKF, that's how you alienate customers. 🤔
Awesome! I haven't had the best experience with Autodoc, incorrect parts and they take too long to ship, but when they get it right they're definitely good on price. Laura's German is better than mine! Lovely vid guys 👍
it can be hit and miss but we just can't resist the big discounts! We've had Some really quick deliveries recently Which is really good but you're right usually takes ages
Boxing Day, part one! Congratulations! I’m looking forward to the mounting sessions. Any problems with the German language on spare parts card board boxes? I’m here to help! See ya - Martin
Hey where did those parts come from.? Was it auto doc? I’m looking for a center console for my 1993 Volvo 240 and door post panels any helpful information would be appreciated
AUTODOC is a company to avoid if my experience is anything to go by. They supplied parts for my Alfa 156 which amounted to hundreds of £s in value, that turned out not to be compatible with my car even though they were adamant they were. The only way to communicate with this company is live chat of which I must have had a dozen or more. They passed me from one person to another without resolving the problem. I only got a refund from them when I threatened legal action against them. Please think twice before using this company. There are lots of reviews on the net about this company that sound similar to my experience with them.
We've had a couple of bad orders from them....head gasket folded in half to fit into a box being one example! Getting refunds out of them is hard work but it's hard not to take a gamble when the prices are so cheap. If our orders are over £100 we always use a credit card to get extra protection in case any order goes wrong
Lovely family, cheers!
Thank you very much 😊
Great to see new parts for the Volvo! Looking forward to seeing them being fitted. 😊👍🏼
Happy to watch your videos and earn you some pennies with the ads 👍
That's what we like to hear! Thank you very much for being part of our community!
All new suspension parts make a world of difference to how well the Volvo drives, this is how I would do it too.
Just desserts for the efforts of those providing us all a fantastic channel. Awesome!
Thank you for watching jonboy!

We have been looking at bits for our volvos from them. Got to love a new car parts day!
Did you find any parts for the 340 on there? Love new parts day!
@@WhitelandRestorations yes a few bits 👍

Boxing day we'll be playing with all our toys 😂 Thank you very much for watching, glad you enjoy the channel!
Christmas has come early, well deserved 🎉👍
Thanks Peter! Can't beat new parts day
How exciting!
Super exciting stuff! Can't wait to get it all fitted!
Always good opening prats box's and seeing that you have oder the right one's and size.
Always a gamble when ordering drom Autodoc 😅

Thank you very much Brian! The parts look great, can't wait to get them fitted!
Awesome. Always enjoy a Volvo resto. Quite excited my 142 if off for paint in April, unfortunately no RUclips funding.
Exciting times! Don't see many 142s about. It will be a beauty once it's done. At least painting is one thing we don't have to pay for 😅
Yesssss! That's a lot of good parts in that box. Did you get a bushing install tool as well?
We've had the bushing kit for ages just haven't used it in anger before 😂
@@WhitelandRestorations I just bought my first tool a couple months ago. I wish you the best of luck!
I just finished arguing with Autodoc and I see this 😂😂😂😂. Hope it got to you quicker than the usual 2 weeks it takes them to send my stuff to Ireland.
Hi Guys great vlogs on this Volvo can't wait to see the finish car. Always interesting content regardless of the subject.
Thank you for watching Mark!

Always wondered about auto doc and the quality

All those new toys …But someone’s nicked the wheels off ya Volvo 🤣
Turn your back for 5 minutes! 🤣
Skf = svensk kullager fabrik
Swedish ball-bearing factory 😊

Tried twice with Autodoc, both times very slow delivery, damaged boxes, and also used Hermes / Evri - returned both times. Full refunds within 48hrs.
perhaps the subscribers can help replace those hideous (and dubious legality?) headlights !
No way, we love those headlights!
Why do us Volvo owners have working cockers? Must be suckers for punishment both in the dog and car world!
Autodoc sucks. I preffer skandix and classicvolvorestorations
