- Welcome to another day in the life of KevTee, where every journey brings a new adventure in the world of scrap car collection. Join me as I hit the road in the trusty Renault car transporter, navigating through towns and countryside to rescue vehicles that have reached the end of their road.
In each video, I take you along for the ride, sharing the ins and outs of my day-to-day work. From residential driveways to commercial lots, I encounter a variety of vehicles, each with its own story. Whether it's a classic car that's seen better days or a modern vehicle that's met an untimely end, I handle them all with care and professionalism.
My mission is more than just hauling away scrap; it's about sustainability and giving these cars a new lease on life, whether through recycling, salvaging parts, or even restoring them for the road. As part of the Charles Trent team, one of the country's leading vehicle recyclers, we're committed to eco-friendly practices, ensuring that each car is processed with the environment in mind.
So, buckle up and join me on this journey of discovery, challenges, and the occasional unexpected twist. Don't forget to subscribe for a regular dose of automotive adventures and insights into the fascinating world of vehicle recycling!

London and Diesel's - likely to be DPF related. I remember when diesel's hit 500k miles with only 6000 mile oil changes, now they barely make 80k. That is evolution for you.
For some reason cars invoke an uncharacteristic dishonesty level in people.
The Yaris was definitely not a scrapper, but many people are ignorant or have been ripped off by bad garages.
Kev another quality video! You had me chuckling throughout - especially the "one extreme to the other" with the house numbers😆Brutal luck with the misdescribed vehicles, but at least you got a beaut of a Transit in the end! Safe travels back to the yard and enjoy that well-deserved cuppa. ☕
Hi kev,another cracking vlog and the footage from inside the cab is great as always,maybe trents need to start asking customers for photos of the whole car or a walk round video to save kev and other drivers alot of time especially if you have a busy day,hope you had a nice break kev m8🙂👍
That’s terrible you forgetting to say goodbye to us, cheers Kev 🏴👍🏻
Quite nice round here, not the Harlow I know !!!!!!
Buy the transit then kev would make good camper van conversion for you kev
And a happy Easter to you too Kev 🌞
Nice one. Was still fun watching
Wicked beard you are rocking there Kev!
Good to see you on Monday mate going down m25 heading home keep up the great content 😊
Another great video Kev 😊
Happy easter to you kev. Another good day on the job. Stay safe
Great video kev keep it up
Happy Easter Kev another enjoyable video 😊
Happy Easter Thanks ❤ bye a.ok
Love to now the back story on the Transit. It was mint. Even if you had to pay a couple of grand on repairs it would of been worth keeping.
Know
@@stendecstretcher5678 and "have" .
My guess would be DPF and EGR issues, wet belt problems and injector failure. Just like all the other transits from the last 10 years.
Of?
The first collection kinda sums up why you never know when your getting home 😂 people can manage to make every simple thing so difficult and frustrating and it's only making your day longer not theirs 😅
Nice van kev looks very good 😊
Van doesnt look that bad.Hope you have had a great Easter!xx
Happy Easter Kev! 👍🏼
Happy Easter 😊
A very good Monday morning to you all
Hi @kevtee love your videos and I think you should have bought that transit van for your campervan conversion what u are doing just a thought keep up the great content
Happy Ester to u kev 😊
Hi Kev another great video like most jobs it would be easy without dealing with the general pubic they are put there to just bugger your day right up the Transit was a very tidy motor
Happy Easter
Hi kevtee keep that transit van as project car
it might need expensive repairs though
68 plate transit with 70 odd thousand miles on it ,looked like someone looked after it and smoked liked Thomas the tank engine,could be an injector fault famous for it happening or could be a turbo fault but looked worth saving and hope it goes onto the auction site and someone gets a really good van with some life left in it coz that’s still worth some money and defo worth saving
hi Kev loving the videos and seeing all the different cars vehicles and issues just curious what is it you run waze on that is on top of your dash?
Hi Kev . I had similar inspections with export cars on pick up & delivery at the docks in London Liverpool etc . Scratches dents . No pictures just written comments. I think you should grab that transit a beauty .
Yeah assessing the cars isn't a favorite part of the job 😂
I'm always surprised how many people make no effort to tidy the car. I scrapped a VW Transporter with Trents that had spent a decade as a garden shed and it got a wash! And a garage gven the wrong keys... did you have a look at what you could have snaffled?
I’ve been meaning to ask for a while, what’s the upside down towbar for under the spec sideways on
That Yaris is FN13HEJ all right .
I see what to did there 😂
Them new Transits don't seem very reliable once they hit about 5 years old. Quite a few seems to go bang after that.
Been awhile since you drove an artic Kev ??? ,I do mainly class 2 work now it's more challenging and not as boring but drive the artic now and then .
Kev, the beard. Time to trim, it ages you! 👍
I'm preparing for Christmas, got a there's a job vacancy at the north Pole 😂
Imagine having to deal with EV’s exploding at any time ax they bounce, what will be the cost?!Blowing as it is raised on your vehicle
you never told us how much transit was kev ....
Kevtee I keep the fire transit if I was you
Happy Easter kevtee to you and all the family, ps. How's leetee getting on?
Cheers mate, he's getting on really alright, well established memer of the team now 👍
@KevTee that's good to hear, you'll have to get him to do a cameo soon 😁😁
poor Yaris has a couple of bruises for sure strange it wont run..
250 quid for that peugeot was abit scummy to be fair.
I get customer faffed about but still.
Allys, engine lights worth more than that.
5x profit on that one atleast 🤷
Not against you buddy, I know your only doing your job like, but when these company's charge £££ for alloys for example and your only giving customer less than that amount it's amusing.
250 on each car...
That pug definitely worth way more than that though.
These salvage company's honestly 😅
It does surprise me the age of some of the vehicles going to scrap, obviously can only be down to poor maintenance and not staying on top of repairs. No way should 10yr old vehicles be going to scrap.
Probably terrible maintenance as my grandad has an 06 berlingo he got new and it barely has an issue while I see 3 year old cars going to a scrapyard
ULEZ zones!
Hi Kev
can a HGV driver carry load inside cab?
I was fully loaded the other day and had no more room, boss asked me to carry 2 hydraulic tanks inside cab, he was insisting it's legal but I doubt it.
tnx
I would of refused on health and safety grounds, if you were to have and accident anything in the cab could become a missile causing harm to the driver.
tnx Kev
appreciate your help and expertise
A lot of the vehicles that you've been collecting on your recent videos aren't even all that old.
That’s what I was thinking, but sadly cars are treated as disposable items by most people who just run them into the ground and scrap them.
So many people treat cars as white goods, carry out lots of short journeys where they could easily walk, its death to a motor car engine
And dont clean them or pay for service
My local garage fails so many like this at mot time
I do lots of short journeys, can't really help it with where I live and what I need the car for and only cover about 5- 6k miles a year but I have my car religiously serviced (every year a major service, no minor or interim services) and MOT' ed every 12 months (July), if it gets an advisory in the MOT or they mention something in the service, I get it done without fail and if it needs something in-between, it also gets done without fail.
@@01matthewc chuck it it up the motorway once a month
Every pint of petrol you burn generates a pint of water in the combustion process
That mixes with the oil to form an emulsion that resembles mayonnaise
It's an acid,and eats bearings,and destroys exhaust systems
My car has done 180k in 12 years and sails through emissions, has a full service history,and if I do any short journeys,I bang it up the motorway
Most journeys in town I walk or cycle,keeps me nice and fit, at 65 I am way fitter than most of the youngsters round here
Most of these cars are not that old shocking the amount of 14 & 15 plate cars going scrap that Peugeot is only 10 years old
People are crazy
have you ever been sold a vehicle from an owner and told to pick it up from a garage and arrived and the garage won't release it as there is money owing on it
That was a 3008 not 2008
If you must put music?? on - Please turn the background noise DOWN, so it is in the background, not drowning out what you are saying!
I don't understand what you mean?? how can I turn down background noise without turning down the talking?? At what point was what I was saying being drowned out by music??
How much the pay for transit
About 5k if u remember correctly
Surprised they paid that for the transit I offered them my 2019 SsangYong Korando and the cheeky buggers offered me £650
Notice how the closer you get to London the more inaccurate the vehicle descriptions get😂 chancers everywhere 👍
Thought you said peugeot 2008 it's not
Yes you are correct, I mistakenly said 2008 when it's a 3008...
05:00 Kev T you Leaf Thief you took their leaves away with you! 😶
why would you scrap that van so crazy mad .
Sorry, Kev. You come to my neck of the woods (Essex) and you get pissed around royally.
Hi Kev how are you doing ? I’m forever having plenty of brain 🧠 farts so it’s no just you believe you me Pal. 👍
Car owners of to Day don't want to spend money on big car repairs just spend the money on a bit better heap of junk
Amazes me how stupid people are good video nice van
Still too much cab in the interior view with overexposed external view.
Take it that there sold on Orford parts
MODERN transit 80 k . LOL NEED the wet/ cam belt changed . WHAT JOKER came up with ideal WET CAM belts ????.
The problematic wet belts are only on the 1 litre ecotec engines, this had injection issues
@@KevTee 2.0 Ecoblue diesel is actually wet belt as well Kev! 😊
@@sammytheseal2307 Yeah that's what I ment, problematic ones are on the 1.0, although I could of worded it better 😂
@@KevTee To be fair it's quite widely documented for those 2.0 ecoblue wetbelts to cause problems as well, but yes like you say, it's the 1.0 petrol that have the worst reputation 😁
@@KevTee MATE got 2017 plate 2.0 litre transit diesel . WET belt . LEAST my ford back in day 1.8tdi turbo diesel kerosene bio diesel . . did 260.000 miles DIED TIN WORM ROT , Change cam belt kit every 40/ 50. 000 miles inc water pump , DRY belt go on for ever . LIKE 1.6/ 2.0 OHC PINTOS from 1970s / 1980s . dry belts / SAFE trucking . ENJOY .
I took it these were end of life cars
Yeah pretty much mate 👍
