Car scrapping?

  1. Are these on line quotes real or do they rip you off with hidden charges? Got an 08 Citroen C3 to get shut of, head gaskets gone. Runs and motd but I’m not gonna take the chance of fixing it plus I’ve replaced it in any case.

    Many years ago I scrapped a Volvo 240 estate. When I rang up the scrappy, the only interest he had was whether the lights were good or cracked. lol. 3 of them were cracked, I think i got £15 for the whole car.

  3. I’ve gotten rid of one via car take back & a couple via recycling lives but don’t know if they are a local company. I was paid what I was quoted no hidden charges :thumbsup:
     
  4. I used ‘car take back’ . Com in April this year for a knackered old van - they quoted £250 or something similar - man with a big car transporter met me and loaded it up and I got the money the next day. It was a Marmiteter without a straight panel on it - I was happy with that…

  8. When I tried one it dropped by 25% due to, ‘ wear and tear’ during inspection
    Needless to say I didn’t accept their offer

    Is it just me or does anyone else find that Mark Jacobs perfume advert incredibly annoying.
    Like shouty annoying.
    Suppose it's worked coz I remember his brand despite struggling on a daily basis to remember even what day it is...

  14. Easy way out: record all the programs you want to watch and skip the adverts
     
  15. yes... it absolutely does. Pretty things with serious learning difficulties' I try to think to myself. We could have a whole thread on Christmas perfume and aftershave adverts. You already know my favourite!
     
  16. I used to fast forward through them with various levelss of success, trying to go as fast as possible without missing the restart of the programme.
    Over lockdown I discovered the 'double tap' method which jumps you straight through the adverts with two taps!
    Humax freesat recorder: top fast forward button keeps doubling the fast forward speed.
    The fast forward button below skips you forward 2 minutes at a time. This small discovery brought me much joy, how sad.
    So try the 'double tap' method for getting 4 minutes of life back per advert break, or for ensuing zombies are definitely dead!

  17. My favourite is 'eau de camper'.
    A tiny dash of 'liquid' taken straight from the dipstick and applied either side of the neck.
    Less people are kissing me these days, but i put that down to covid!
