    • 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.

This is just so easy - a few moments work. Take a fresh 4pt flagon of semi skimmed milk, at the same time as you buy a tub of skimmed Greek style yoghurt. Decant ca cup of milk and save for other use. Top up the space with ca 1/2 tub of yoghurt

 

TIP mix together in a jug first with equal amount of milk to make a smooth easy pour cream.

 

Put cap back on and shake vigorously for a minute, loosen cap very slightly to let out any gases produced. Place in a warm space >25C

 

Put in refrigerator and thats it - brill and so much better for you

You have enough to make another 4 pts.

I can keep mine for up to 3 weeks of daily use.

 

Google Acidified Milk, it was an old way to preserve milk before fridges :smile:

OBTW, dont use flavoured yoghurts, only natural. Any natural yoghurt is usually "live" - though labels won't say as much - and will probably work unless it had been pasturised (never seen it. You dont have to go for expensive "live" or probiotic brands. Plain 500ml tub 45p, but I prefer Greek Style, gives a thicker fuller flavour - 85p

Who will have anywhere which has a constant temperature of 25 to 30c ? If you have an airing cupboad with a hot water tank, that might be ok. But many homes don't have these tanks with new gas boilers. You could use a hot water bottle filled with warm water and heat it up again to maintain the heat.

 

I have used the yoghurt making kits which are very good. But the packets of the mix which made 1 kilo were getting more expensive and it became cheaper to buy standard supermarket yoghurts.

 

When the yoghurt is made per the recipe above, you can add flavouring afterwards. If you look in your supermarket or some shops that sell yoghurt makers, they may stock concentrated flavourings, which are a natural product. Or buy seedless jams which you can melt in a pan, leave to go cold, before adding. The youghurt may not last as long, if you add anythingto the natural product.

We could do with some help from you.

I thought I had replied to this, but must have pressed the wrong button, anyway in brief youcan go to 20C, takes 48 hrs and may develop a sour taste - still ok.

 

even modern houses must use a radiator (with shelf, sunny window?

 

take it to bed with you at night.

 

Make a simple insulated warm cupboard with 25W filament lamp. Many other uses for this

If you have to fart around, people would just buy standard supermarket yoghurt.

 

With the yoghurt making kits you get a container which you put inside a large insulated container which is filled with hot water. It works very well.

We could do with some help from you.
