    • 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.

UPDATE: Seagate said they would replace the drives and recommended iron wolf drives for raid and servers

 

Excellent

 

But your description of the raid use - simply as a resilient 18TB raid 10 store for a few million personal family pictures shouldn't tax any drive.

 

:-D

The Tory Legacy

Record high Taxes, Immigration, Excrement in waterways, energy company/crony profits

Record low: living standards and investment

Crumbling Hospitals, Schools, council services, businesses and roads

 

If only the Govt had thrown a protective ring around care homes with the same gusto they do around their crooked MPs

“This is specifically not allowed. Mr. Mansour used to be a Cabinet Minister in Egypt, he has given the Tories a huge amount of money, and immediately gets a knighthood.

That seems straightforwardly corrupt.  Shouldn’t they both be in jail?”

It's not even 2TB full, slight overkill. When I built it I had a 5 year plan in mind, remember only 8.18TB is usable. It gets used for the CCTV system recording, forex, bitcoin and dropbox.

Nothing like heavy use.

I would seriously consider not relying on the safety of your photos on those with data streaming to them even with the 100% redundancy.

I've seen a number of these drives just die without warning despite full smart monitoring.

The linked report shows they had drives fail, then other drives fail when the extra load of rebuilding is put on them.

They backed up elsewhere BEFORE rebuilding

 

Perhaps consider splitting them into 2 separate sets even if you need to buy a (quite cheap) second controller:

2 * mirrored drives for piccies etc giving you

4 * 1+0 for the heavy i/o streamed data (

 

 

Have you asked if you can pay the extra for upgraded drives rather than simple replacement - perhaps away from the 3TB size? to 4TB maybe preferred?

I know it seems daft to think that stuff on RAID 1+0 is not safe but if nothing else perhaps consider a small external (maybe Hitachi) usb hdd JUST for copies of your irreplaceable pictures if you aren't trusting a cloud service. They are very cheap.

Interestingly it was the mirror drive of the 1st that failed 2nd.

My plan is to back up on to the drives they send me as replacements and remove them from the machine, I have a hard drive toaster I can use for periodical backup of my backed up machine :D
