I have to agree Rob it’s a different level of professionalism when it come to salvage, extremely impressive, would love to see the whole de-pollution process, I think that would be very interesting, particularly if you or the operators could talk us through what they do. Thanks as always, keep them coming please.

@cargamer78leemarsh98 2 года назад

i used to work at silverlakes and in the depollution side of things what is done is all cars that go to the salvage side all liquids are kept in the cars but all breakers/scrappers have all there liquids taken out so if you need a fuel tank you have to get 1 before it gets depolluted as the tank is pierced with a vacuum steak to remove it with coolant its drained the same way oil is done then bottom hose is cut and with air con its de gassed and then a pipe is cut to be safe of pollution i hope this helps with you query :p ps i worked there for 3 years and enjoyed every minute of it

When I was an apprentice tech in the 60's I bought my first car , a Renault Dauphine with a blown engine £10 , whizzed across to Silverlake and removed an engine from a wrecked Dauphine , another tenner . Happy days . In those days the cars were stacked in a muddy field , always good to see a company develop into what we see today amazing !

Amazing place. I have spent many happy hours in scrapyards (I know you call them salvage yards nowadays) and love to see them. I have to admire how well organised this yard is. As an Engineer and Mechanic, it is very well organised. I'm amazed how little damage some of these cars had to end up in a salvage yard. That's not recycling. What Rob and Chris do, and many others, is true recycling.

@MrNwapp 2 года назад

Another great vid, Rob. Surprised to see the old mk 2 Jag and MGB GT in there!👍

@stephenricketts7764 2 года назад

As i have said before when I lived in Southampton I did visit the yard a few times. It has expanded since then. Just up the road Ford used to build the Transit, moved out about 15 years ago I think. If there was a defect in a body assembly they would be taken to a metal recycling yard in the city, they were not allowed to sell any part of the bodies. I don't know if Silverlake have a contract with the docks for any casualties when loading on to the ships, it is rare but accidents do happen there. It would be Rangerovers and similar makes, could be why some if those cars are very new? Anyway that was a good video Rob thanks for posting it. I think it would be interesting to see the fluid removal process at some point in the future but only if you are going there to collect some parts. Once again Rob thanks. 👍👍

@frog- eye Couldn't help noticing your ID thing. I had one of them in old English white when I was 20 and it then was 21. Explaining to the kids that it used to be a different world then and this car had no door handles so to get in you slid the window open from outside, reached in and lifted the door handle. Likewise having a boot with no boot lid was also something they struggled with but to be fair so did I. What fun though, even with an 850cc engine, it was like a two seater go-kart.

@aib0160 2 года назад

@@andrzejs7335 Yes I understand that, but I'm guessing somebody has already done a calculation as to what the car is worth as a whole and in parts, so if it doesn't sell it gets broken for parts?

@brianwhittington5086 2 года назад

The old Jag is a pre xJ6 model from the 1960s Rob. One of the numerous Mk 2 based variants of Jaguar / Daimler models they created by changing the front and rear panels of the base design. That place looks amazing, like a well stocked supermarket !! Sadly today, the cost of replacing complex electronics, SRS systems and the construction methods and materials is critical to insurers. The way any impact affects the whole modern bodyshell, often makes repair uneconomical. What may seem like superficial impact damage at first look, can travel through the shell and break joints if it's been hit on a critical point. I remember doing insurance inspections on such as Sierra and Mondeo models. A hard front or rear impact on the chassis would often travel and bend the floor pan and transmission tunnel, well away from the main damage point.

Back in the mid-1980's when Rob was still in short trousers, I seemed to spend most of my weekends climbing to the top of a teetering stack of scrap cars in a muddy and oily breaker's yard, searching for yet another part to keep my banger on the road. I used to think to myself "there's serious money in this game if you organised it right". That's the kind of set up I used to imagine. That warehouse is better than most main dealer parts departments I've been in over the years. Yes please to a return visit Rob.
