    • 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.

I have been trying to insert a picture in the bear garden for about 2 hours nearly giving myself an heart attack, why is it

so difficult when other forums are much more user friendly???????

 

I did it more by luck than judgement.

Bear with a sore head? Could you elaborate as to what you see? Error messages? Notifications etc...?

 

As far as I know (well not since I've been back) you can't upload images directly to the forums... You need to upload them to a third party place e.g. dropbox, google drive etc.. (I personally use tinypic.com)

 

Once you've got it up there and get a web address for..

 

if the image is already on the web e.g. you can access it with http://www.wherever.com/... then you just need to press the button above the chatbot that appear like a picture of a tree... The button looks like this:

I just uploaded that now...

 

So on that note... I'll show you how I helped an angry bear...

 

1) Took a picture of him (biig mistake!)

2) Uploaded it to a website (I'll use tinypic.com as an example)..

3) go to tinypic.com (totally free). And you'll be presented with a screen asking you to choose a file and upload an image (see below)

2w3p9oj.png

4) Once on this site. press the "Choose file" button, and make sure you choose the happy bear picture you want to upload.

5) Once you've done that, press upload... It'll ask you to type some random garble in to make sure you're not a robot, but the is commonplace on the internet...

6) Once it's uploaded you'll get a screen similar to the following:

2wdo6ty.jpg

.... Yep I uploaded the elated bear a moment ago!

7) Now what you want, is one of two things...

i) If you're going to paste the image in directly to a message (rather than pressing the button) then you'll double click on "IMG Code for Forums & Message Boards" What that does is, literally bypass the need for you to.. press a button..

ii) If you're daring and want to press the button, then you'll want the but under "Direct Link for Layouts"

8) either way, you just need to click on one or the other (yep just click on the text itself and it'll automatically copy itself into memory)

 

If you've chosen to paste it into the chat willy nilly (it won't appear as an image to you whilst you're typing but will appear as one after you press POST, then just get your cursor where you need the image to be and:

 

  • Windows: On the keyboard, press `Control+V` to paste the text.. Thats it..
  • or, if you're a mouse fan and on Windows, then right click in the general area you want the image in the message box, then click on paste
  • If you're on a Mac and want to use the keyboard , then as per the first one, just press Command+V (not control!)
  • If you fancy using the mouse then either Control+Click on the area, then paste, or right click on the area then paste...

 

In regards to the button.. It does exactly as the above has done...All you do is press the button as I've shown you earlier... And paste the text into the box that pops up...

 

Hope that helps...

 

Cheers,

 

Ade

You dont need a third party..you can upload direct through advanced.
