General Car Chat / Re: Old batteries- do they have a scrap value?
« on: 03 January 2018, 19:36:02 »
Hey ho, not the end of the world Albs.
..yes I bought it from Euro car parts, they had one of their discount offers going on: paid £48 for it, which I thought was OK & they delivered it this afternoon for free. I had a couple of other servicing items to get so took the plunge.
I have decided to keep the old scrapper now, it's too good to dismantle & we need a car for use in France, to be left close to the airport, so I plan to spend a little money on it, clean it up etc etc & it will get occasional use & lug furniture or what have you around a bit!
Are you still driving the 190 around?

Some years ago they were worth about a fiver apiece in scrap,don't know if you can still get that these days.Pikeys will have them for the lead and not being overly health and safety conscious they'll not worry over much about the acid in them.
Our posts crossed....yes that's what I thought.
There was me, trying my hardest to word my description in such a way, so as not to offend any groups or stereotype anyone but yes....that's exactly what I meant  :D Succinctly put Sir.

Is it the lead that has the value?

I fear it could escalate further but hope that time will calm things down. I don't want to see any more violence in the region.

I remember I was delivering fuel to a forecourt one day & there was a main dealer attached to it with a busy workshop. I think it was a Honda dealer...anyway a couple of very dodgy looking geezers pulled up ( sorry to any dodgy looking geezers on here, no offence meant  :-[) in an off white transit van, low roof, tow bar - you know the type of thing I mean, & they approached the mechanics working away, asking them if they had any old batteries that they could have....
For some reason it has stuck in my head...what would they want them for other than to flog as scrap?

I don't know how I managed it but I somehow prised open my wallet & purchased a new battery today for the spare Omega.
I'm now thinking: can I recoup some of the cash by getting something back for the knackered old one? :o
Any thoughts anyone?
