[SIR Philbutt]

Your car is supposed to be recycled now, not scrapped. On the new red V5, there is no 'scrapped' part to fill in. You can find a list of authorised dismantlers on dvla website.

Oh shutuuuup we know what the op means ya pedant.

Looked that up

Word of the week for me

You'll get more scrap for your alloy wheels than you will trying to sell them. I got almost £40 for a set of early elite 16" alloys, you can see from the forum - nobody wants them.
If you're scrapping the car, I'd stab the fuel tank - it's only plastic - with a screw driver to recover the fuel. 

thanks, as ive not much time to faff around doing all this those are both good ideas.

is the tank easy to get at to stab?
is it worth filtering the fuel once drained incase of sediment from the old tank?

Won't hurt but there won't be any sediment inside the tank Other option is to use the in tank pump to pump the fuel out

Is that easy to do, or more to the point, something the book of lies will explain?
