Who is best to scrap a car with?

HEADING FOR BURN OUT

It's fair to say, the car you see you here has had better days!

Hot wheels... well charred!

It's burnt out - literally!

On first inspections it would be pretty normal to suspect it was deliberately set on fire. 

But this wasn't foul play, it was the result of a diesel particulate filter (DPF) which set a light.

For those of you who might not know, the role of a DPF is to remove any soot and dirt from the exhaust fuel of a diesel engine. 

On this occasion the filter must have been thick with soot and grime to set on fire.

Ideally you should get your filter cleaned every six months when you take your car in for a servicing. 

If you ignore it and let the dirt build up it may need replacing which could cost dearly.  

Or in extreme cases, as with this poor old Mercedes, it can end in a ball of flames. 

There are certain indications that your DPF filter may need a clean. 

They include feeling a loss of power in your engine. 

Or when the DPF warning light suddenly appears. 

All of a sudden you're noticing your fuel consumption increases.

Or there could be a strong smell of diesel while driving that you've not experienced before.

Or the automatic stop start systems don't work. 

You may notice your car suddenly starts to release an excessive amount of exhaust smoke. 

Burnt out 

Obviously regular servicing for any vehicle, be it diesel, petrol or hybrid will ensure your car is running as it should.

And if it's not, if it's beyond hope as was the case with this Merc, then you always have the option of scrapping it and being paid for the privilege.

Sell My Van For Scrap

HAVE NO FEAR, THE SCRAPPERS ARE HERE

Did you know there's a bunch of phobias related to driving and being a passenger?

Experts reckon one in ten of us will be affected by a phobia at some point in their life. 

And if it's car related it can be a right pain if you need to drive for work.

Phobias are when the body reacts and goes into flight or fight mode when there isn't any reason to - it all comes from fear.

Motorphobia - is the fear of motor vehicles in general. The idea of cars can give someone a fright, even if they're not near a car.

Needless to say, no one at our scrap yard in Bolton suffers from motorphobia or we'd be in trouble!

Mechanophobia is the fear of machines, sufferers not only get anxious about cars and other vehicles, they fear other mechanical objects too. 

Well, they'd get one hell of a fright if they saw Gloria, our monster sized grabber in our Bolton scrap yard. 😅

See her in action in our spare parts video below.

Then there's vehophobia which is the fear of driving. Controlling a car causes sheer panic and makes getting from A to B a very frightening prospect. 

Amaxophobia, on the other hand, is getting the jitters while riding in a car that someone else is driving. 

Dystychiphobia is being terrified of accidents and why some people don't like being in vehicles. at all.

Being frightened of road travel is called hodophobia and means sufferers will steer clear of roads all together. 

Imagine heading to supermarket in a chopper because you;re fearful of roads
