The Good, the Bad, and the Stuck: A Day of Scrap Car Rescues with KevTee

Embark on a classic adventure with KevTee! Setting off from Trents HQ in our trusty Scania transporter, we journey to Oxford for a BMW with dreams bigger than its engine. Brize Norton brings a stationary Vauxhall, and Shaftesbury gifts us a Ford Focus. But the real challenge? Navigating a Salisbury estate so tight, we even broke a sweat. And just when you think it's all smooth sailing, Verwood throws in a Vauxhall with an Ad Blue tantrum. Strap in for a day of scrap car escapades, unexpected challenges, and the spirit of automotive adventure!

Lucky Escape there pal. She could have kidnapped you and done all sort of unspeakable things to you. "OH YOUNG MAN" (Harry Enfield) hehehe

[@barryrathbone]

What a day! All 5 non-runners! The 9 year old Beemer must have been repairable and as for the Grandland 5 year old has to be better to repair rather than scrap surely?

[@AK.2425]

Bmw had passed an MOT after the video in early November, the 64 plate focus is now taxed again and the grandland has new mot and a ownership change in early November.

[@cnevill2]

Trent auction off those cars which are deemed as economically salvageable

No entry to Construction vehicles, thats ok Kev, your DECONSTRUCTION

I can't believe all them Cars were non runners have a good Week Kev

[@01matthewc]

Wow, I can't believe how new & good looking some of the 'scrap' cars in this video are.

Goes to show why you need to get your cambelt/timing chain changed on time.

[@Blackmamba12345]

@@MattyEngland Eh? No electric cars are being scrapped because they are not going wrong. How many Leafs have you seen being collected on here? Zero. And I've never seen a Leaf combust. Just shows how overly complex and unreliable these cars are..

[@MattyEngland]

@@Blackmamba12345 You'll have a shock coming then if you think EVs aren't complex 😂 I can assure you that the new ones have all manner of complicated inverters and battery monitoring tech. Unless you happen to have an oscillascope and a degree in electrical engineering, then your car won't be going anywhere when a single IC or capacitor fails. The only people who think EVs are simple, are people who don't have a clue about electronics. The motors are simple, but that's where it ends! All the other stuff is 10x more complicated than any petrol engine, and most mechanics wouldn't have the first clue where to start.

[@Sammyboy1991]

My 59 plate Clio puts some of these cars to shame. Just shows maintaining your car is important for a long healthy life. It is also worrying though if 5 year old cars are getting scrapped mine could be next lol

[@nutsandy7183]

Blimey, you and the winch got a workout that day!

Brilliant vlog keV

[@markfoden765]

Hi kev,another cracking video,so I'm with you on the woman being rude and you definitely did the right thing with her and I bet she was shocked because she probably thought you representing the company you would say anything but I glad you did but you're comments in the cab was funny as😂what seemed another tough day for you but you still smile at the end,cheers kev🙂👍

Another great episode Kev. Love you bye. Until the next 😅😅

[@davidlandon6022]

Quite surprised about the BMW as people have said perfectly fixable seems a shame too chuck a perfectly reasonable car with 83 k away as scrap

[@2DogsVlogs]

Someone might buy it and put a new engine in it. Hopefully that will fix the AdBlue issue as well.

[@gold4leaf]

I now another youtuber says it ... but I miss the "CCHHHEEERRRRSSS" 9:05 "and the longer you stand here Madam and squabble about how I am blocking you in, the longer it will take me to finish up and move" .... LOL, still loving your videos, Kev, Cheers, Garry from DownUnder

[@anthonywalker5206]

Enjoy your video. Do you think if people have their cam belt changed when they should, it would avoid this? Shame about the BMW look lovely car.

[@stevenmoran4060]

It certainly would but they think they are saving money by not having their car correctly serviced.

[@anthonywalker5206]

@@stevenmoran4060 There was the Insignia as well. Couldn't believe that.

[@eastwood978]

The N47 engine has a timing chain which is known to fail prematurely probably due to the BMW extended oil change intervals. Its an engine out job to renew the chain not routine maintenance.

[@dansherlock3229]

@@eastwood978yep those engines are a pain up the arse. Hate them & I can’t stand them. Such a crappy design that bmw did for that engine.

Hi kevtee i wood keep that car as project car

[@2DogsVlogs]

New there was more too the story on the BMW. 20k on the cam-belt I would have taken it back too the mechanic. I assume he didn't get it done at 60k but with the AdBlue issue as well I get it.

Your winch got a good workout! That was a long day.

you went to carterton 5 mins from me lol

[@SuperBarnaby12]

That BMW and the smell maybe someone had been smoking weed???

[@equaliser2265]

I dont know why they scrap them, I have a 2005 Land Rover, 200206 miles, if I spend £500 a year to repair and service its worth it. Better than £700/ every month for 6 years on a new car. People are bloody stupid.

[@danielscitt4486]

hi kevtee when is project videos coming

[@scooped85]

Why would someone scrap a 5yo motor? Nuts.

[@MattyEngland]

Snapped cambelt, destroyed engine.

@MattyEngland even so, 1.5 for a engine, 700 to fit. Seems weird

[@Blackmamba12345]

[@elainemorris7457]

Hi kev my hubby and i love your channel ❤We noticed you picking up a 2018 plate grandland but you did not mention why ... we own a 2020 grandland so was wondering what had possibly gone so wrong that it had to be scrapped ....

[@MattyEngland]

Probably the cambelt, common issue I believe

[@KevTee]

It was an ad blue issue, had been in the dealer several times until it got so bad it would no longer run so the customer had enough and wanted it gone.

[@SuperFIFTHGEAR]

@@KevTeeWow, crazy to think on such a new car. Wonder if Trents just paid scrap value, seems an insane loss to take :O

[@KevTee]

@@SuperFIFTHGEAR I think they gave about £3k for it and sent it off to auction.

whats wrong with the grandland as its not even that old

[@Snowy1of1]

Adblu injectors I believe, Kev mentioned it in another comment. Owner had car back to dealer several times but it got to the point it wouldn't run. Apparently its been seen on Autotrader recently, so hopefully new owner hasn't got a lemon and the issues have been fixed.

[@seancoleman8528]

5 cars all non running nuts and a car less than 5 yrs old mad

[@darrentaylor6382]

What was wrong with that 18 plate car. And always change your cambelt and waterpump every 60,000 miles. Unless the engine is chain driven

[@bottletree33]

To do your job I would want a grand a day after tax minimum. These companies are going to get a massive wake up call very soon when the drivers are not willing to put up with their crap anymore.

[@e17simon]

I thought the normal thing when you are winching up your 1st car which is a non runner is a lot of swearing which you edit out

[@rossmcgarrie9787]

Hi Kev how are you doing ? What is it with awful rude people like that snob you came across that thinks can speak to you like a pile of shit. Glad you got her telt Pal & i hope BMW goes to auction once sorted if it gets sorted. Up to Trent’s I guess Buddy. 👍

Perfect, thank you 👍

BMW. Overrated German mondeo...... actually thats a bit of an insult to a mondeo.

[@eastwood978]

Nicer to drive than a Mondeo, the later engines are reliable unlike the N47 which didn't like 20k oil changes.
