- Another scrapyard video! I have been fortunate to have been told about this scrapyard, of which I cannot reveal the location but I can show you what I found on the day. A mix of 80s and 90s with 00s, something for most ages :)

If you look hard enough, there’s always a gem to be found .🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🇬🇧🇬🇧👍
Absolutely!
Is it just me? There is nothing more environmentally friendly than re-using parts that already exist - but places like this are being shut down on environmental concerns🤔
We know its not for the environment, but the bigger agenda!
Edd China says the same thing- Its helping the environment buying used parts.
Amazing how the owners can sit on thousands of pounds worth of Scrap Iron for years. Most of the best parts people will need have been ruined by crushing. Another great video.
I have to defend the owners here, these cars have been here at least 8-10 years plus and are well-known in their area. However in this case the owners did not want the word spreading around as sadly opportunists will happily break in to steal parts, which is what has happened before with the advertising of parts. So they decided before I arrived it was all going to go as nothing was being taken.
The lesson is if people don't take bits, bits get lost sadly and when they do become publicly known about, people cause trouble. I fully support the owners on this one. Thanks for the comment :)
My Vectra looked like that at the rear, I had to have it all rebuilt, it would appear that the rust burrows under the underseal and rots for fun. Would like to have seen more of the Peugeot 405 in there.
Well done for rebuilding the car back!
@usuallyfixingtinkering thanks I wanted to because it had a full history with 45000 miles. It was lovely apart from the rot!
thats worth even attempting to save, you've definetly done that!
The Dumper truck for me , think that would be great for a project.
Nice spot!
Love your videos mate, we are obviously of the same generation when most of these cars were on the road and still being made. A by gone era of clambering up towers of cars in scrappies!
Ah them were the days!
5:41 That's my old rover right there I owned that
Your exact car!?
great video..someones cut the bonnet to get in the sierra..i used to crawl underneath and use a long extention and 10mm and open them
@@teatimetel174 very well spotted!
This is where all the Ka's and corsa b's have ended up. The Ka's no doubt failed MOTs and scrapped due to rust.
Thanks for another great video. Sad to see so many lost especially the S reg 1.4 cl focus.
yep I have no doubt it was rust!
16:58. Always wanted an Imperial Blue mk5 Zetec-S. 😢 Excellent video.
No problem!
All my cars are older than everything in this video 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Oh gosh!
The laws has got to silly and it's a shame I used to work for my friends dad's yard back in the mid 90s I used to enjoy having a walk a round and found and had some cheap cars which needed welding for the mot way scrap yards way are left won't let you walk around or sell parts off only want the value in the metal and a quick turn around you can tell it's a old place being on normal ground so it will be polluted and I bet the environment agency has told them to clean it up as I bet it was ment to been done years ago there will be a lot of parts which could of still been sold true shame thanks for showing all the old cars 👍
No problem and yes there has been for many reasons a "clearing up" going on, thankfully I filmed at the right time!
That Sierra rubber spoiler is worth a few quid
Absolutely, sadly crushed, this car had been there a long time and very much had a lot of parts to go. My visit coincided with a lot of activity, I got there just in time to video them!
I need a load of those Fiesta mk4/5 parts for my banger 😔
Ive had lots of messages regarding them sadly, I didn't realise the demand for parts was really there for mk4/mk5's as most seem to be run into the ground now.
@@usuallyfixingtinkering it’s surprising that there’s not many left, use to be everywhere, hardly ever come up for sale anymore.. even trying to find scrap parts is a struggle lol
That is so sad to find a once-street furniture no.1 best selling car at the time being that hard to obtain parts for! We waste too much!
Some interesting finds here. As much as these places are fascinating and the history behind these cars are intriguing, I
will say that I absolutely hate seeing this much waste, I bet majority of these were working fine before they ended up here. Why can’t people just keep old cars on the road than replace it with some new rubbish? I also blame our horrible climate for the state cars get and this is an example of that. On the other hand, I can’t wait to see EVs in this place, they can definitely be scrapped and I will throw a party for it.
On a side note, As a Honda fan, I didnt see much Hondas in this place, just one Accord on an 04 plate? But thats no surprise due to its reliability. However, it’s worrying to see alot of Fords and Vauxhalls here, doesn’t say a lot about their durability. As a conclusion, I will say keep the old cars alive people, they are far better and the way forward. Interesting video.
The Accord was scrapped 10 years ago when it was only 10 years old and on 130k which is hard to fathom. It must’ve had a rusty subframe and/or DMF, turbo, fuel pump issues perhaps.
@@markjackson887 shame that, with some money spent probably be here today trodding along fine. They are really reliable, I have one at the moment similar age with 150K on it. You get the odd one who give up on one but majority know how reliable Honda are and keep them for a very long time. They are great.
Hondas were not exactly popular in the region this was filmed! The waste is disturbing but it goes on every day in monumental proportions, consumerism is a serious problem.
maybe!
I love these scrapyard videos what part of brum are you from I Hall green.
The fiesta colour you liked was Samakand
ah thankyou for that!
That's got to be one of the grottiest breakers yards ive seen Paul! Hah.Not many parts of much use there mate..
not much at all!
So what is the owner going to do crush all of these? Or strip them out? Am sure there are buyers out there?
As the end of this video stated, they have now all been crushed. I filmed them just in time.
laguna mate.... not megane
Ah done it again, not the first time I've confused a laguna and megane!
For someone that's not from the UK, can you explain what do the first letters mean on the plate? P, K, V , X etc?
I just looked up the UK Plates website, but it doesn't make sense to me...

at 18:25 That car on top's plate is L947
L = London
But I can't figure out the year... There is no 94 or 47 code for year... It only goes up to 78.
So would it be L 4? so the car is a 2004 model?
18:49 N 261
N= North UK
North 61 means its a 2012 Volkswagen?
20:10 R148
R= Reading UK
14 = 2014 BMW?
21:56 The chart I linked to above has no T letter on it.
You are a bit wrong, in the X000 XXX format the first letter is the year of reg, in XX00 XXX format the two digits are the year. The more you know eh?
Is it for sale
@@SundayIkechukwu-sg4tz all the cars have been crushed if that answers your question.
