Please Don't Do This! | Salvage Hunting | UK Trucking 

I drove a converted LDV beaver tail for a small breakers yard, I welded a ring to the rear crossmember just ahead of the rear of the chassis to hook the winch to before going out to save having to run the line out at a collection job.

Ah yes well spotted 😁👍

I just spotted one in the village of Tarland in Scotland 2 weeks ago interestingly enough

Cheers mate, many people tell me they stopped watching when I changed jobs but they now can't get enough of the new content 😂 hope you enjoy catching up 👍

I've noticed that with Ford they like to make easy jobs as difficult as possible almost give AUDI a run for their money.

Mk2.5 are tank off aswell remember my father inlaw filled car up wrong fuel I had drop tank drain it in morrison car park nite mear

Dean Bell The worst thing is on some older Focus models, the tank straps are have corroded to the point that disturbing them means they won’t go back properly and need changing or the fixing snspscas you try to undo it. You have to wonder why they couldn’t follow VAG or Vauxhall in accessing the pump from within the car, or the decision to use thin mild steel straps instead of moulding the fixings into the tank body as almost all other manufacturers do. Ford seem to be full of bad ideas like that, and yet in the past they had some good ideas, like the escort door hinge where the pin was also the fixing or the single 10mm bolt fixing for focus mk1 mirrors

Ahhh I did wonder who it was, pleasure to see you out and about and hope your keeping well mate 👍

Cheers R R, have a good week 👍

Great to have you back mate 😊

You too John and thanks very much 👍

Thanks Ross, yep I suspect you would be right mate 👍

Probably Kev unfortunately. Good job he realized!

Someone cut my car fuel pipes once. RAC came to recover, RAC arrived before Fire. RAC loaded my car, fire truck arrived, Fire told RAC to remove my car immediately and dont travel with a car that had a fuel leak. Fire had to put sand all over the carpark, and then deem my carhad no fuel left in the tank, before RAC loaded it again.

Nor me had I known the extent of the leak 👍

There's no chance of the ramp cracking anything as there's no weight in the ramp and the weight of the car is spread out across the ramp 👍

It is recommended that trucks should have front, sides and rear cameras for 360 degrees visibility. My rigid truck has all 4 cameras that are linked to a DVR recorder, all 4 cameras are also streamed live to a 7 inch screen in the cab.

Good job I'm a professional 😂

@@KevTee as ever kev as ever

@@KevTee Who parks on double yellow line's, blocking an entrance. Then damage's the truck on a tree.......very Professional 😂😂.......just saying keep up the good work 👍👍

Cheers Sim, thanks for letting me know, Trent's are happy the vlogs are getting the word out 👌

Cheers Andi, yeah I wasn't taking and chances not to mention the potential hazard to other road users if it leaked whilst in transit.

It's been rearranged for next week 👍

For you to pick up again Kev?

@@waynehammerton5698 Maybe mate, who knows lol

It with hope they have drained the fuel off completely by then Kev

I'll have two number 9's, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45's, one with cheese, and a large soda.

I collected it a while ago and delivered it back to the customer in this video 👍

They should be hight markers on all overhanging branches 😂 I'm not to bad going forwards but completely missed them going backwards 🤣

KevTee haha that’ll be a whole bunch of trees, smashed a corner rear of a car over the peak 🤦🏻 flippin damn trees 😂😂😂

@@michaelaris58 we had a 4" thick branch come through the roof of a coach( the bit above the passenger door/steps) I was on, whilst it was being manoeuvred around a car park. Completely invisible from the drivers seat.

According to Scott Andrews' last video trucker jay is busy restoring an old pub (?)

I can't imagine there's a fee for collection? Scrap cars are worth money... Unless do you mean like when they offer more if the customer takes the car to the salvage yard?

@@sammytheseal2307 a few years back, before the idea of "scrappage" caught on, even if you took a EOL car to a yard, you'd pay to leave it there. I think it was when the rules changed, and they could no longer simply pile 'em high, and let them leak into the ground for years. Sounds like times have changed. For the better.

@@Ibis117 Oh yes I know what you mean 👍 Times have moved on definitely You can quite easily get at least £100 for a complete smallish car, £150-200 if it's something bigger like an MPV

Because there well known for ripping out as there only designed for light towing and not winching at steep angles 👍

Ahhh okay. Thanks for clarifying that Kev.. 👍👍

@@chrislaws9244 I've never had a factory tow hook fail in 20 years.

I try not too 😜

@@KevTee That's not a yes nor a no. Is it a no comment?

Haha the less of my ugly mug on screen the better 😂

Driven artics through London many times, can’t stand the place

Thanks Kenneth and welcome to the channel 👍
