    • Update 15th March the eviction notice period expired, and I paid my next month rent along with sending them the message discussed above. After a short while they just emailed me back this dry phrase "Thank you for your email." In two weeks' time I'm gonna need to pay the rent again, and I have such a feeling that shortly after that date the contracts will be exchanged and all the payments will be made.  Now my main concern is, if possible, not to end up paying rent after I move out.  
    • they cant 'take away' anything, what ever makes you believe that?  dx  
    • The text on the N1SDT Claim Form 1.The claim is for breaching the terms and conditions set on private land. 2. The defendant's vehicle, NumberPlate, was identified in the Leeds Bradford Airport Roadways on the 28/07/2023 in breach of the advertised terms and conditions; namely Stopping in a zone where stopping is prohibited 3.At all material times the Defendant was the registered keeper and/or driver. 4. The terms and conditions upon  entering private land were clearly displayed at the entrance and in prominent locations 5. The sign was the offer and the act of entering private land was the acceptance of the offer hereby entering into a contract by conduct. 6.The signs specifically detail the terms and conditions and the consequences of failure to comply,  namely a parking charge notice will be issued, and the Defendant has failed to settle the outstanding liability. 7.The claimant seeks the recovery of the parking charge notice, contractual costs and interest.   This is what I am thinking of for the wording of my defence The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and are generic in nature which fails to comply with CPR 16.4. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 1. Paragraph 1 is denied. It is denied that the Defendant ever entered into a contract to breach any terms and conditions of the stated private land. 2. Paragraph 2 and 4 are denied. As held by the Upper Tax Tribunal in Vehicle Control Services Limited v HMRC [2012] UKUT 129 (TCC), any contract requires offer and acceptance. The Claimant was only contracted to provide car park management services and is not capable of entering into a contract with the Defendant on its own account, as the car park is owned by and the terms of entry set by the landowner. 3. It is admitted that Defendant is the recorded keeper of the vehicle. 4.  Paragraph 6 is denied the claimant has yet to evidence that their contract with the landowner supersedes  Leeds Bradford airport byelaws. Further it is denied that the Claimant’s signage is capable of creating a legally binding contract. 5. Paragraph 7 is denied, there are no contractual costs and interest cannot be accrued on a speculative charge.   I'm not sure whether point 4 is correct as I think this side road is not covered by byelaws? Any other suggestions/corrections would be appreciated.

    • 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.

Hello,

 

I have an 03 plate Deisel Ford Modeo (130Bhp Durotorq TDCi).

 

A while ago I was driving along when the glowplug light (the one that comes on until the glowplugs are warm, then goes out) started flashing.

 

I stopped, switched off, and started up again. All was fine.

 

Upon looking at the car handbook, I found no info on this, so I called Ford.

 

They had the car in for diagnostics (it was still under warranty) but found nothing. The problem has not occured since.

 

Anyone else had this problem?

had the same problem with my car a few week ago first time as I stop at the light the car completely lost power thought it just stalled on me but it started ok . the second time I was on the motorway doing 70 and it happen again took it to the dealer. and it was found that the timing was out of sequence it was fixed. had to take mine back on tuesday to check the EGR valve as the engine started to race while idle

 

if the glow plug is flashing it indicate that there is something wrong. however it might no show on the diagnostic if it happen again take it back to the dealer and ask to speak to a senior engineer if possible. the ECU (engine management unit)might need an upgrade or the EGR valve might need changing.

 

my car is a 53 plate and has done 49000 miles

I've just been through a similar experience with my '02 TDCi 130; started about 3 months ago with intermittent non-start & glow plug light flashing. Over the last week it became worse, with engine dieing whilst driving (always entertaining, especially at 70 miles/hr in lane 3 of motorway :shock: ) finally resulting in a complete non-start a couple of days ago.

Soonest i could get into a local Ford dealer was 6 days. Called RAC to get the car home, they diagnosed faulty cam position sensor and towed it back.

 

One cmp sensor later she's back up & running again! Definitely one of the easiest (& cheapest) things to check if it's not starting through lack of fuel being delivered. I was preparing myself for the horror of a full fuel system and/or ECU replacement i've read about on other sites regarding similar problems. Still disappointing for 4yrs / 48000 miles though.

Hi guys,

 

Have any of you got this sorted as I have since last weekend been experiencing the same problems.

 

I rang Ford and they said it may be the CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR but I have been investigating on the internet and have noticed there's also a camshaft position sensor aswell.

 

Which is it and can I fit it myself?

 

Diagnostics by Ford is gonna cost me £55+vat - i'm thinking NAH!!

Camshaft Position Sensor (CMP)

 

The CMP scans a reference cam on the camshaft. The CMP sends an alternating voltage signal to the PCM. This indicates the firing position of No1 cylinder. This is only used when starting starting. after that the (PIP) signal takes over to control the injectors.

Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP)

 

The CKP sensor is also an inductive pulse generator, like the CMP which scans 36 minus 1 cast protrusions on the flywheel. Minus one means that one of the protrusions is missing. This missing protrusion is located at 90º before top dead center and is used by the powertrain control module as a reference mark for the crankshaft position. The crankshaft position sensor sends an alternating voltage signal to the powertrain control module, which is used to determine engine speed and ignition timing.

the cam sensor is just above the inlet manifold in the middle has a grey plug 3 wires held in by one 8 or 10 mm bolt takes 5 mins to change. the crank senson is located down to back of the engine at the top of gearbox housing a pain to change hidden under pipes and wires.cam sensor is more comon for going wrong.crank senors normaly show a fault due to duel mass flywheel going wrong

If it is re-occuring a lot, it sounds likely there is a fault of some kind. Unfortunately, that is where my level of expertise ends.

 

It has never re-occured on my car, despite the way I hammer it!

 

I had the ECU upgrade just after I bought the car, and it was still under warranty.

My 52 Plate TDCi Mondeo has just started doing the same thing, wouldn't start last night & had the Flashing Glowplug light, then once it did start it died (whilst doing 70 on the motorway!!).

 

Also seemed like it wasn't running on full power just before it cut out... very weird!

 

Booked into the ord dealership for Wednesday so here's hoping... :confused:

A friend of mine has just got rid of his 02 plate Mondeo Diesel.

 

Had a lot of problems with starting and poor running. Took it in to local Ford dealer who told him it was a problem relating to the fuel pump (High pressure pump) and that it would cost the best part of £1000 to put right.

 

And I thought running my BMW would be expensive! Almost eight years of motoring, with 100,000 miles under it's belt, and only repair (apart from wear & tear items such as brakes) has been a water pump.

The description above would tend to point to it not being the CKP sensor.

 

This is used for ignition timing - we are talking about Diesels here folks - there is no ignition to time

Yes Same problem 03 Diesel Mondeo Flashing glow plug Light. Stuck in traffic lane 3 M6 no engine! :confused: Moving to hard shoulder on starter motor when engine fired. :) Next time at a roundabout,no engine! :confused: Moved on starter motor to safe place, called AA. Engine started again just before AA arrived. :mad: Explained situation AA followed me home and plugged diagnostic computer into socket under dash drivers side.There it was cam shaft sensor fault recorded twice. Looked in haynes manuel found where the sensor was (front of engine just below injectors.Went to local Ford Dealer bought a new sensor for £14 . :) It took about 10 minutes to fit it (one 8mm socket,wiring plug is a bit difficult to remove because of locking dimple on underside ) Problem solved car is running very smoothly. :)

Just for the record:- same car, 53 plate,59000 miles, same symptoms,no fault codes,nightmare for 12days & then I decided to not drive it any more as my nerves were shattered.Booked in to main dealer & got myself green flagged up there.Dealers drove it & luckily it broke down 5 miles from base so they were able to get fault code P0340 come up---camshaft position sensor. Costs were £170-- Diagnosis £69,Labour 1 hr £69,Sensor & wiring/plugs £32. She flies like a bird again !!!

Hi Everyone!

 

I have a 53 Focus TDCi 115...Got it 3yrs ago when only 16K on the clock...now is 142K (...mainly motorway cruising).

Have had it serviced religiously @ Main Dealers roughly every 12.5K as per the manual.

At the 100K service (...had 104K on the clock @ the time!) I was told that it was overdue to have a new Cam Belt.

 

Unfortunately I couldn't afford it at the time, (...was quoted £200+) as was the start of the month, so decided to postpone having a new one fitted until next payday.

 

Within the next 1K I had the usual problem stated by others on this thread...i.e. loss of engine power, not starting, mis-firing etc etc.

I had it looked at by the RAC mechanic who said he couldn't do anything other than to take it to a Main Dealers.

The mechanic there told me that the car's ECU was programmed to "remind" the car owner to have it looked over by a Main Dealer at certain intervals???...:confused:

 

Last night on my way to work the infamous "Flashing Glow Plug Light" syndrome re-occured!!!

 

I was hoping to put off having the 137.5K service until after Xmas cos my MOT is due in Jan as well.

Some Xmas I'm going to have if I can't get my car booked into a garage asap before the holiday period as much long distance family visiting to do.

 

Methinks FORD wants this problem and is quite happy about it, as it

appears to be extremely common!!!

 

It spoils for me what is an otherwise great car to drive and will make me think twice about replacing it with an updated version when that time comes eventually.
