If scrapping a car say with two catalitic converters can they be removed and scrapped separately and then scrap the car or will it be refused at the yard

Scrap cars are generally priced on weight.

The CAT's - Assuming original, will be worth quite a bit.  Aftermarket CAT's are worth a lot less.

Take the CAT's off and sell them separately.  get a few quotes before doing the deal though!

The 2.6/3.2 ones aren't worth a great deal, significantly less than 2.5/3.0 ones.

Agree'd, and Diesel CAT's are worth more than Petrol one's.  :y
