General Scrap yards - rules??

[jangcy]

Hi everyone...
I found (by mistake - didn't know that in that place was scrapyard) Panda M reg...driver doors rusted badly but rest looks ok...(more less, no time to check)
I asked him if I can take all car and he said that can sell only parts...
can't sell all car...
What do you thing...why?

 

[dave]

because he would have issued the old owner with a cod

that logs it on to dvla computer as scrapped, it can not then be put back on the road

Jangcy which scrappies you found round york? i want a part for my Grande punto and am lost now that one near Elvington has closed

 

[jangcy]

There is scrap yard near Melbourn
http://www.melbourne-autos.co.uk/
I never found them
but I found quite big scrap yard here:
Beechwood > Scrap Yards in Kingston Upon Hull
Tel: 01430 860453 - Beechwood Filling Stn Market Weighton Rd, Holme-on-spalding-Moor, York, North Yorkshire, YO43 4ED

but they're not cheap...

and when I worked for multidrop company I found one more (cars not older then 5-9 years)
I don't remember...but I think it was somewhere there (in some industrial estate)-you can kill me I don't remember where it was...L(

you wont get a v5 for it, a cod is the same as a cat b

 

[BrumBrum]

Can't you class it as a kit car?

You can re-register a car. Is classed as first registration again I think. I know someone who's done it.

It's it in tact or been in a knock? Could be CAT - B if in a knock. Then can be for parts only

how long ago, if a scrappy sells a car that has a cod on it their breakers licence can be taken away

Oh right. In last 18 months iirc. Could be wrong though, or got a fact wrong, can't be 100% sure

:yeahthat:

Plus, I think if a vehicle is Cat A then they're not even allowed to sell any spares off it and the vehicle has to be crushed immediately. Some ****** about the car being so badly damaged that they think ALL the parts now carry a risk of failing and/ or being dangerous (WTF? :nutter

So much for the authorities encouraging us to recycle...

Not 100%. Was probably not then.

:yeahthat: but that's not that common. Only burnt out cars or those flooded in the sea/sewage :yuck:

Tell me about it. Hoping dad's Selecta isn't a CAT C, if they try and write it off as a D we'll just tell them it's getting repaired and we'll settle through court.

Totally agree. It's a stitch up between the gov. the insurers and the car industry and is designed to get as many old vehicles off the road as possible. The category 'decisions' seem to have little to do with safety.
