    • Hello,

      On 15/1/24 booked appointment with Big Motoring World (BMW) to view a mini on 17/1/24 at 8pm at their Enfield dealership.  

      Car was dirty and test drive was two circuits of roundabout on entry to the showroom.  Was p/x my car and rushed by sales exec and a manager into buying the mini and a 3yr warranty that night, sale all wrapped up by 10pm.  They strongly advised me taking warranty out on car that age (2017) and confirmed it was honoured at over 500 UK registered garages.

      The next day, 18/1/24 noticed amber engine warning light on dashboard , immediately phoned BMW aftercare team to ask for it to be investigated asap at nearest garage to me. After 15 mins on hold was told only their 5 service centres across the UK can deal with car issues with earliest date for inspection in March ! Said I’m not happy with that given what sales team advised or driving car. Told an amber warning light only advisory so to drive with caution and call back when light goes red.

      I’m not happy to do this, drive the car or with the after care experience (a sign of further stresses to come) so want a refund and to return the car asap.

      Please can you advise what I need to do today to get this done. 
       

      Many thanks

    • We have finally managed to obtain the transcript of this case.

      The judge's reasoning is very useful and will certainly be helpful in any other cases relating to third-party rights where the customer has contracted with the courier company by using a broker.
      This is generally speaking the problem with using PackLink who are domiciled in Spain and very conveniently out of reach of the British justice system.

      Frankly I don't think that is any accident.

      One of the points that the judge made was that the customers contract with the broker specifically refers to the courier – and it is clear that the courier knows that they are acting for a third party. There is no need to name the third party. They just have to be recognisably part of a class of person – such as a sender or a recipient of the parcel.

      Please note that a recent case against UPS failed on exactly the same issue with the judge held that the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 did not apply.

      We will be getting that transcript very soon. We will look at it and we will understand how the judge made such catastrophic mistakes. It was a very poor judgement.
      We will be recommending that people do include this adverse judgement in their bundle so that when they go to county court the judge will see both sides and see the arguments against this adverse judgement.
      Also, we will be to demonstrate to the judge that we are fair-minded and that we don't mind bringing everything to the attention of the judge even if it is against our own interests.
      This is good ethical practice.

      It would be very nice if the parcel delivery companies – including EVRi – practised this kind of thing as well.

With the massive rises forecast in heating costs and the Government talk of a levy of up to £120 on fuel bills I decided to look for ways of reducing my heating bill. As the annual household energy bill is over £1,200 this means a possible energy bill of nearly £2,000 in a couple of years. Consequently I've fitted a replacement central heating clock that reduces my heating bill and carbon dioxide emissions by 25 - 30%. It's not cheap (nothing worth doing ever is) but the immediate savings will mean it's initial cost is recovered in about 2 - 3 years. One of the by-products is that it's a lot more versatile than the old system - I can have more than 2 on and offs a day meaning that if there's more than one person in the house (a shift worker maybe) then everybody can have their own settings and can change dates in advance. PM me for further info.

keeping British summer time all year would save energy, due to an extra hour of daylight each evening. Commuters would not need head lights switched on for the return journey, households would not need to use their lighting during that extra hour, and we could delay switching on the central heating.

If you want to delay switching on the heating or hot water until the last possible moment and only heat rooms that are in use or heat for a shower rather than a bath then you can. If you want to switch the heating on later because it's warmer outside or earlier because it's colder outside then you can. I suppose it's common sense - it's what you would do if you were around a couple of hours before you wanted your house at a particular temperature. It's so much better to have all that done AUTOMATICALLY. The system I use is similar to a commercial heating controller that costs thousands. The new system only costs hundreds and is much cheaper because of the quantities being produced. It's based on a microprocessor that's well tried and tested (you probably have one in your mobile phone) and is much more versatile than the bi-metallic strip used in some thermostats. If you're serious about reducing your heating bill and producing less carbon dioxide so that your kids won't drown (according to a recent government tv ad) then look at the way you control your boiler. I'm expecting to reduce my heating costs by £300 - 400 this year and every subsequent year. PM me if you want to know more.
