I'm sure the Hyundai is a candidate for salvage, there is a market for salvage repair. I bought my first salvage car in April, a 2012 Volvo V40 with a clean title, only salvage for a stripped timing belt, for £1000. It cost me £500 to get it back on the road and is now worth circa £5500. Sadly in the process I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis so I sold the car to myself for the £1500 I had put into it and it is now my daily driver. There's money in these old cars!
Back to the grind Kev, makes your heart sink when you think what is going to happen to the Hyundai let’s hope it gets bought by someone who owns his own workshop and put it back on the road.
The Hyundai was mint good motor for you Kev to tinker with
Love the pug in its mask- and that rainbow. Oh yes and then there were the cars too!
Nice to see you back mate, you have a good week mate
Another fantastic blog I am looking forward to the next blog also great music choices again keep up the good work 👍👍👍👍
Hi just like to say my friend has the same car and he had the same minor impact that only damaged the number plate. Hyundai coupe seem to be good very tough cars. Every interior panels are easy to remove as my friend showed me, also very sporty driven car. Tough in every ways.
My friends use to drive up and down from scotland and hardly had any problem with car in his ownership of 5/6years 👌👍
Writing off that Hyundai is criminal. Great vid as always with all the extra camera views.
Ran a Hyundai Coupe for several years. Gorgeous cars. Still miss it.
Enjoyed the episode I annoyingly had WIFI problems on Sunday when it came out, but finally got it to work.
Great to see you back Kev👍 Shame about that car. Be great to see what goes on around the yard. Stay safe 🙏
That Citroen C4 steering is so wierd. And the hyundai, just whyyyy people.. whyyyyyyyy.
Loving the vids!
Another brilliant vlog mate.
I used the brake pedal if needed when winching vechile's on with wheels locked at different angles
12. 17 part of the video very interesting when after many efforts, the car started. Never give up is the moral of this!
Hey up mate sorry I missed the Sunday live, really hope you do another one soon. Love that the Pug is keeping safe with his little mask on ;-) Shame about the Hyundai Coupe very underrated cars, they drive and handle really well. All because of an airbag deployment :-( That would have been an ideal project for yourself ;-) Hope you and family are keeping well mate.
Starting that Micra was boss mate! Thought it was gunna blow up
That Micra didn't want to get carted off to the knackers yard
I see some new straps there! 👌 Nice! Love your videos! Cheers!!!
Another brilliant vlog Kev and I must say that whoever put the mask on the dog has a brilliant sense of humour because it made me laugh my socks off and that poor Hyundai you could spend a fee few hundred quid on it and have a brilliant car back on the road. Cheerssssssssss 😂🚛🚘
Yeah cos replacing airbags is REALLY cheap.
Your magic wand was working well , controlling the rain , stay safe keep on trucking
Definitely more luck than judgment 😂
awesome vlog looking forward to watching the next one keep safe mate
Just watching this as we eat our dinner with my son have good week kev big thumbs up for channel 🤗
Talk about green, scrapping a perfectly good vehicle and the amount of energy to make a new one.... criminal...
What happens to the cars, sold on to Copart & back on the open road again !
@@frankythehousecat2681 No there sold via our own salvage auction auctions.trents.co.uk/auction/items/?seller=17
@@KevTee what as parts or can they be bought back to life ?
@@frankythehousecat2681 if they are sold on then are sold as seen I would guess and you would have to get the work repaired then take to vosa to check that the vin numbers match and the vehicle is in working condition and road worthy then should be able to go back on road.
I had a cat c write off car and brought it off insurance then got works done cost £250 they said would cost well over £3000
Great vlog as usual, shame about that Hyundai coupe though! That route out of Taunton where you were following the National Express coach and through to Blackbrook Inn I know all too well! I keep well away from that area as much as possible now! See you on the next one 😊
Another great video. Interesting to see that Hyundai being written off so easily by the insurance company. At the end of the day we all have to pay for such silly decisions. I once had a VW Amarok that got trampled all over by a horse on the loose, the owners insurance admitted liability and paid the £7k repair bill but the courtesy car bill (an L200) as I needed it for work was £9k, the hire company charged £250.00 a day whilst mine was being repaired, plus £10.00 a day surcharge as I had to have a towbar !, a £16k pay out for a £7k repair bill, outrageous.
First class as always Kev until next time Kev take care of yourselves and keep safe and well all of you buddy
Great video Kev had a Hyundai pony years ago drop to bits while I was driving it better made now hopefully
Morning first car was a pony, also suffered the same fate 😂
Just watched your video and your route out of Crediton would have taken you right past our front door and we missed sighting you. Was a great video.
Great vlog kevtee
Think you led us down the path with the keyless one! It was open , in neutral and hand brake off EASY!
I didn't mention anything other than "no keys" which was all I had on my paperwork?????
Had a coupe lll since new (08 plate) loved it! Only got shut of it in 2019, cos the heater matrix decided to dump all the coolant into the passenger foot well... It had 179,000 miles on it, still on the original clutch as well. Such a shame, as the engine was sweet as anything!!!
Couldn't be bothered with the hassle of taking the whole dash out to get to it! Then the cost of a new clutch, new rear repair arch section for the o/s 1/4 panel - not cost effective anymore, time to buy new again...
Stayed with Korean cars though - ended up with the Optima estate sports - can't fault that at all!
A lot of fishing - so that's the freezer filled then;-)
Insurance companies are writing loads of stuff off over the phone. I went to a Porsche Cayenne this week, insurance co wrote it off due to water ingress into the electrics. Offered the owner £15K
Interesting vids. Think I might have missed my calling. Nice driving job with a bit of action here and there. 👍🏴🇳🇱
It's spot on mate, love it 👌
@@KevTee been zipping back and forward through your vlogs. I get it completely. The wife thinks I'm nuts......age doesn't get it!!!!
Great vlog Kev,2nd collection looked a bit tight mate,Micra took a little bit of starting,well done you.Shame about the Citroen without the keys.How stupid that you couldn't just replace the airbag as a separate unit.Stay safe & keep on truckin;.
Wasn't you looking for a project car KevTee? That Hyundai would be perfect if you can get it, haha especially with how you kept going on about how unbelievable it was that it was being scrapped? Xx
Always amazes me watching you Kev, My cars are a 1989 Rover 213 a 1994 Rover 414SLi and a 1993 Rover 216GSi...nome of them are at end of life...People just don't know how to look after cars
Great video keep it up
I've got a Hyundai Coupe III which is older than the one scrapped (mines 2002). Such a shame to see that one being scrapped. The coupe is one of the better cars I've had, and its still going strong for 18yrs old. Parts are expensive for them, so can understand the insurance decision.
I had a Hyundai Accent and it developed a fault with the lambda sensor and exhaust pipe, the kwik fits and Halfords didn't want to know and I was told to go to the main dealership. They wanted £300 for a piece of pipe and sensor + fitting. Picked the pipe up fro motors direct for £25 and my local garage fitted it with the original sensor which was found to be okay for a further £75 saving me £200.
hi kev bet its was nice to get to work and hope you have a good week and i am not going to say what i have seen. oh dear i dont no lol but anyway keep on trucking #RoadLegends #salvageHunting
Great video mate, you should take the Hyundai as a project car to help save it, although there isn’t much work to call it a project
I do miss the West Country but nice to be back in NZ too.
Hi Kev, are you ever concerned about vehicle security? I understand you need the engine running for the pto but I'd be cautious about leaving a) the cab unlocked and b) keys in at some of the places I deliver to.
i see the rabbit got a mask on lol love it
38:13 it’s a Chevy tacuma the silver car my mum had one of those sadly in the scrap yard in the sky
Had a Hyundai Coupe a few years ago. Maybe a bit boring, but mega reliable. I would happily have gone anywhere in it. I always thought they looked like a poor man's Aston Martin DBS. The problem came when i went to sell it. There was absolutely nothing wrong with it, but I practically gave it away in the end...
My old 2004 volvo cx70 has 227684 miles on it and still drives sweet
Because I spend the equivalent of two car payments a year on it it will outlive me lol this car
That hyundai could be a good little project or racing car....
That was the day I saw a Trent's truck in crediton it was you lol where you turned round after your crediton collection was a wise decision you would have got stuck the other end of that road
And here I am, driving my 2001 Golf with 330 000 km on the clock and works like a charm. With proper maintenance, cars will last practically forever. And talk about economical, burns 10 liters of bioethanol per 100km.
I have a slightly newer car than you,mine is 2002.I bought it from a friend when it was a year old and it has just flown through its mot,I don't plan on replacing it anytime soon. Apart from general maintenance costs and fuel,it doesn't cost much to run and I have seen much newer cars broken down on the side of the road,you are right about proper maintenance,cars just keep going .No big monthly repayments or depreciation either.
Micra had the Renault ‘whirry-ness’ about its engine sound, never worked out why they do that, but AFAIK its old enough to be prior to the Nissan Europe tie up with Renault.
Hi kev what a waste ... those Hyundai coupes was a nice motor to pick up for service that one look like it was someone's pride and joy. The V6 coupe was a quick one. Stay safe and happy hunting
Hi Kev nice as recovery as it had no keys
I enjoyed the Sunday live
Great video Sir Stay safe
wow all scrapped? some were worthy of doing up and selling!!
hi kev i am still working down my yard getting all the trucks ready for morning & cleaning the yard so it is all nice & tidy take care & keep safe my daily drive is a mk 1 escort or a mk 2 cortina love them both
Mk 2 escort has to be my favourite classic ford, everyday I go to work with the hopes of coming across one 😂
@@KevTee sorry bud it is not for sale at all
On the Hyundai it's not really the cost of the parts. it's the cost of the Labour that's gonna probably encourage the owner to scrap it. That dash would probably take 2 days to replace.
I will make someone a nice car if and when it goes up for auction
Had several of these Tiburons in Australia, bought damaged with airbags blown, takes about 6 hours to replace, once you know how, great cars especially with the 2.7litre V6
Charles Trent drivers don't get slippery Jeys or other fancy stuff 😂 they use plastic wheel trims under tyres if need 😂 (I did lol) and I see you got the good chain with big hooks..
I agree with another comment writing off the Hyundai is criminal as all it would need is a new airbag or dashboard & a new number plate. Make a great runabout for someone . Great hearing from you again Kevtee & was also great hearing from you live last Sunday mate. Top man. 👍👍
That sounded like a Micra with a stretched chain 😁
Think i passed you by honiton mate i was on a30 going other way in a tractor 👌
Loved the vlog Kev. that is sacrilege scrapping a Hyundai in that good of a condition it probably wouldn't have cost much to fix it.
It's scary to see some of the cars that are deemed end of life; in a video I watched recently you salvaged an end of life car that had 120K on the clock, it wasn't that old but was a total shed. I guess some people don't look after cars any more. I drive a 2004 Mondeo with 140K on the clock, and have no intention of parting with it any time soon. I'm looking to get another car that I can tow with (as mine isn't type approved for towing) and some used cars that are several grand are in shoddy nick...I've seen cars in better nick at a scrap yard in some cases.
Hi Kev did not think you where going to get that one started then
See you today on a23 gave you a toot 👍🏼 lol was in Sainsburys lorry.
I know I heard something from a Sainsbury's truck 😂
Bet you weren't mad for getting back to work 😂
good blog kev keep saffe gary from crewe
I don't understand why you don't carry a dent puller hammer on board so the one with no keys you could open them up and make it alot easier then
What do you do if someone leaves the Car Alarm on with no keys and it go's off while your winching the car on ?
Love the music
its monday morning i have your great channel on just saying thanks chrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeesssssssssssss from norfolk
The last shot of the cars nose on stacked in the yard was quite depressing. It clearly show how many ordinary cars have no real design but are just clones from another one. When I first went to that yard in 1960 all the cars then would be easily identifiable front on. The old Rovers, Jaguars and humble Morris Minor all had some sort of design that made them pleasant to look at. I know, times move on !
Many cars looked the same back then too.
Austin/Morris 1100/1300, MG 1100/1300, Riley, Wolseley, Vanden Plas Princess all looked the same.
Hillman Minx/Hunter, Singer Gazelle/Vogue, Humber Sceptre.
Jaguar MkII & S-Type.
Rolls Royce/Bentley Silver Shadow T1/T2
Greet video Kev
how sensitive was the airbag sensors on that Hyundai, shame that was a write off
If the Nissan Micra wasn’t end of life before, it is now. LOL 🚗💨
Just blew the cobwebs out 😂😂
Use a dash off one in the yard and resell it
You need a PA😁. Love the vids.
Seems like kev finally got a new set of straps 👌🏻
Well few anyway lol!
Yep, replaced all the ones that were getting a bit ropey 👍
Micra's are normally bullet proof, probably just wanted plugs and leads and WD40
Shame to scrap that Hyundai Coupe. Interesting to see it still had its original Constitution Motors of Norwich number plate on the front.
I like those Hyundai Coupes..got to be the 2.7 though
What your total length kev when trailing an average car on the back clamps. Gordon. Aberdeen
you can take the electronic handbrake off, you turn the ignition on and then you can take the handbrake off as I found this out when my laguna lost compression :D
No keys...
Yes as Steve said, you can't release an electric handbrake in the normal manor without keys 👍
Seeing the Hyundai was bitter-sweet for me. I had a 12 plate VW Sharan SEL that was written off in 2017 with just 30k miles on the clock, after a minor front-end collision at less than 20mph that triggered all the front airbags and seatbelt pre-tensioners! :-( It was a lovely vehicle, but deamed financially unviable to repair by my insurance company. I checked the registration on the DVLA website 6 months later to see it was taxed and MOT'ed and on the road again! I feel like I was cheated out of a lovely vehicle!
Jonathan.
You could have made the insurance company an offer and bought it back.
@KevTee love your videos 👍
Just wondering what gloves do you have & where did you buy them from?
I run a recovery truck my self & have just ruined a expensive pair of snap-on ones, they haven't held up on the finger tips in the wet.
There just cheap gloves you buy in packs mate, they last about a week a pair but I also wear the latex type gloves underneath to protect against any liquid contamination. I've found it a great combo 👍
Hey KevTee you are right bro it’s is a total waste scrapping nearly all those cars
thats crazy on the hyundia nice car how is it a rite off?? thats a 2k car i would of taken it home!!
have you tried using Waze as a navigation app?
I'm a cdl drive class a ohs right tanker and hazardous on my licensu thinking about movingly
If it is scrapped yet. Find a way to keep it / sell it because those are quite rare great job!
It is declaired SORN
Lol revving the shit out of that micra
Kevtee can you send me the link for the salvage auction you work for. Looking to ourchase a car n do u deliver
Beautiful Hyundai coupe. Nobody has ever said that 😂
Kev...to quote Jim Carrey...........it's alive lol
Hi Kev, I saw a lot of spares I'd have on the B roll, how do parts work from Trents I've never used them. Is it pick-a-part or strictly parts desk or.... ?
Parts desk, online or over the phone 👍
BY the way, the Huyndia is probably an insurance fiddle, send it to me in bulgaria.
Definitely not a fiddle, the repairs would be more than 50% the value of the car.
Should send them to salvage rebuild uk lol
I’d have bought that Hyundai back from the insurance company. That dash is an easy fix
Pugs subliminal messaging.. "wear your mask people ;) " i saw that first thing. i see another project for you with that hyundai. great vid.
