Scrap Car
 

Gotta' get rid of son's old car, which he miserably failed to sell.

Now flat tyres, cobwebs, bird/bat dirt and general decay. 'Tis parked down drive and permission by son to get it taken away.

Ford Fiesta Ghia M registered if anyone needs a part that is still in one piece.

Presume Hyndburn have a service or any other ideas ? Am not prepared to pay a penny towards it being removed by the way. Half a tank of petrol still there, but don't fancy sucking up through the tube to get it flowing. Yuk.

Sorry kate sucking tubes isn't my speciality. I doubt very much that they'll take it for free. Best you can do is say it's been dumped by your son, then he'll get billed.

Scrap yards will take it away but think even they might charge.

Re: Scrap Car
 

Have a look in the back of the observer. I know there are some adverts in Rossendale Free Press for scrap cars wanted.

Re: Scrap Car
 

thought they paid you for scrap cars as they have to buy the ownership and send paperwork to DVLA

Re: Scrap Car
 

yer, not now bert, that stopped over ten years ago. You have to pay them unless its got parts worth having, then they'll do you a favour and take it for free.

Strip out what might be useful and flog it then mash whats left. You might pay to have it removed but could still have money over.

Re: Scrap Car
 

Oh yeh !! can just see me stripping out the parts from this car in me Marigolds and high heels :rolleyes: Think he was only having trouble with the starter or alternator at the end of the day>> just that I gave him my car 'cause brother gave me his and the Fiesta had been given to my son by my daughter .. tee hee ... hand me downs 'aint in it.
