    • Your page numbers should run through your WX and exhibits so im concerned its page x of 9.
    • Paragraph 18 – you are still talking about Boston stolen items. About time this was fixed??? Paragraph 19  In any event, the claimant's PS5 gaming device was correctly declared and correctly valued. The defendant accepted it for carriage and was even prepared to earn extra money by selling sell insurance in case of its loss or damage. New paragraph 20 – this the defendant routinely sells insurance in respect of "no compensation" items (a secondary contract contrary to section 72 CRA 2015) new paragraph above paragraph 20 – the defendant purports to limit its liability in respect of lost or damaged items. This is contrary to section 57 of the consumer rights act 2015. The defendant offers to extend their liability if their customer purchases an insurance cover for an extra sum of money. This insurance is a secondary contract calculated to exclude or limit their liability for the defendants contractual breaches and is contrary to section 72 of the consumer rights act 2015. New paragraph below paragraph 42 – the defendant merely relies on "standard industry practice" You haven't pointed to the place in your bundle of the Telegraph newspaper extract. You have to jiggle the paragraphs around. Even though I have suggested new paragraph numbers, the order I have suggested is on your existing version 5. You will have to work it out for your next version. Good luck!   Let's see version 6 Separately, would you be kind enough to send me an unredacted to me at our admin email address.

    • Yep, those 'requirements' not met to shareholders satisfaction seem to me to be: 1. Not being allowed to increase customer bills by 40% (of which well over 50% of the new total would NOT be investment) 2. 1 plus regulators not agreeing to letting them do 'things in their own time (ie carry on regardless)

    • 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.

Where do I begin

 

 

On Sunday I realised i had a slow puncture

 

 

as i was passing Kwikfit Rochdale I called In To get The puncture Repaired ,

 

 

The man in the Garage said It would be about an hour and said he would ring me when the Job was completed

 

 

about half an hour later he rang me and said i needed 2 tyres on my passenger side was nearly illegal

and the other only had a few thousand miles left on it

 

 

now my car was only just serviced at a reliable garage last month

i thought it was odd they hadnt mentioned it

i gave him his due and told him to proceed with the tyre he could repair one

and fit a new one as he only had one in stock

i asked him to put my spare on out of the boot as well ,

 

 

when i went to collect car it was still on the Ramp with wheel still off

he said that the Wheelnuts had been cross threaded and that they would need to be replaced

as well as the Wheel hub and as it was sunday i would have to wait till monday morning for a price

 

 

Well for Starters If my Garage had done the Damage with an airgun on the wheels

they wouldnt be able to get the wheelnuts in the Holes either

i had no choice but to leave car on ramp and come home in taxi .

 

 

This morning at 8.40am prompt he rang with a price of £349.07P and i quote he said for everything ,

 

 

i gave him the go ahead only to be rung roughly an hour later to be told £419.37p as Audi

dont contain Bolts They used splines whatever they are ???

and he would have to take more parts off the car etc etc

i again gave him the go ahead to carry on

 

 

only to be rung a third time about an hour later with you guessed it another new quote of £547.37p

by now i was getting quite annoyed

 

 

his customer service skills needed a lot to be desired

he said he didnt know it had had a new tyre on (Thats what i took it in for in the First place )

he blamed the workman from Sunday for not letting him know .

 

I have no proof that the Damage to my wheel was done by Kwikfit

but when i got home i looked on the Net and googled Kwikfit rip off

and found loads of complaints off other customers

 

 

i immediately filled in a complaints form on kwik fits website and I await their reply

 

 

i shall certainly not be going to Kwikfit any time soon and

 

 

am damned annoyed i didnt know about their bad reputation

before i went people need Warning about this rip off company

 

 

Sadly i found out too late :-x

Truly another Kwikfit Rip-off.

 

 

First of the odds on winning the lottery are more in your favour than cross threading all the wheelnuts, one, but not all.

Secondly, it would not require a new hub as the studs are pressfit splined so knock out one and knock in a new one.

 

 

You need to go all out here and reclaim the cost of the hub. Do your research first, go into the Audi parts store and see if the hub comes with studs already fitted, (very unlikely), how much the hub is and also how much the studs are.

Some cars use wheel bolts, so if the thread is stripped in the hub, repair costs are higher. One question remains though: How the hell does one manage to cross-thread a wheel nut/bolt ?

Answer: Only through extreme incompetence !

I know some do, but as said above:

 

 

Audi dont contain Bolts They used splines whatever they are ???

 

 

I agree with the imcompetence, an airgun should be set below any wheelnut torque and a torque wrench used to complete the torque setting.
