    • 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.

Hi

 

I am using windows 8/8.1 and happy with it but last few days had a message saying it is outdated and to upgrade to Windows 10! Has anyone else had this message?

 

I have also had problems with Windows updates and messages saying error not able to update and the writing has gone small so had to increase it, I have 360 total security and do a scan daily

 

Any help/advice be appreciated thanks

 

Sandy

Users of “assistive technology” could still upgrade for free recently.

 

I’ll be able to report back in a few days if this is still available & free (I’ve been asked to upgrade a laptop, but it needs Win8 updates and backups first!).

I’ll be able to report back in a few days if this is still available & free (I’ve been asked to upgrade a laptop, but it needs Win8 updates and backups first!).

 

Confirmed still available.

 

 

I sometimes need very small text enlarged.

MS provide a tool for that.

 

So, I guess that counts ....

your webrowser issues could be re any ad/script blockers. disable those and then try the same web page you were trying.

do you have any other antivirus/security/firewall programs running as well as 360, such as windows mse etc.

try uninstalling 360 then, see how things go. but ensure you have at least one antivirus going.

also, could try another antiv to scan, see if there maybe a virus going on.

Pretty sure I installed this 360 Total security on a laptop and had the same issues. In the end I removed it and used another security programme.

 

From memory, i could not configure to make it work. It was just too big a programme, trying to do too much and making laptop performance really poor.

We could do with some help from you.

A shame you didn't update for free while you had the chance.

 

I'm not sure that an OEM version would allow you to upgrade (rather than a fresh OEM install)

Anyone able to say if it'd work (for £20)
