Wrong colour, automatic refund/replacement. I ordered from them before and a pot arrived half open with paint spilled out. They sent an immediate replacement and let me keep the opened paint. Maybe they didn't want to deal with this just before a sunny weekend... Wait monday, i'm sure they'll send you the correct paint.

Don't be fooled, it's all a money making scheme and nothing more. The fines are issued by machines without human input, so if you are just over the limit at 3am empty road, you would get the same treatment of someone dangerously speeding in traffic at 5pm. The set up is made to maximise profit, many cameras are fitted on stretches where there's nothing around a nice dual carriageway with a 30 or 40 limit. But then you can do 60 in a bendy country lane where two cars can't pass at the same time. Camera vans parked up to make money more or less everywhere. No, i haven't got done many times, only once years ago but it was a speed trap and the officer who stopped me kind of admitted it. In some civil places, to make motorists slow down where there's a real need of doing 30, they put camera signs and visual warnings; everyone sticks to the speed limit and nobody makes money. In my experience the speeding tickets are just to be accepted as an extra tax for us motorists, unless there's a gross mistake i.e. limit is 40 and they clocked the car at 36 but still issued the ticket.

You can return because of wrong colour, but not for ANY reason within 14 days. It's a mixed paint to customer specification, so if the product is fit for purpose, this would be one of the cases in which the customer cannot simply change their mind.

Seems to be only 3 years. For vehicles of that price??? https://www.landrover.co.uk/ownership/warranty/land-rover-standard-warranty.html

I can confirm that Audi, Toyota and VW warranties get automatically transferred to new owner, no need to register.

Don't Land Rovers come with manufacturer warranty which is transferable like all other car manufacturers? If the car is 3 years old /22000 miles, surely the manufacturer warranty should step in. I'm sure land rover don't want bad publicity and a gearbox failing at 22000 miles, considering that a lot of their vehicles with 300k+ miles are still on original gearbox. Someone on top gear once said that they are the most reliable and the least reliable cars.

I've looked and looked, but i couldn't find the bit that says that the onus is on the buyer to prove the fault was present at point of purchase in the CRA 2015. Perhaps you want to give us the exact section and point of the CRA 2015 so we can verify ourselves. My view is that self confident car dealers and their "legal" departments are deliberately misusing the following words: "the onus is on the buyer to prove the goods are faulty" Well, of course one must be able to say what's wrong with something. They're then adding to this statement and including some wrong statements which are not in the CRA 2015 as long as i can see. A faulty gearbox is faulty even if the fault is intermittent. As long as the fault is there within 30 days the buyer can exercise the right to reject. The seller can then try to prove that the fault was not present at point of sale hence, the buyer damaged it. Here is the link to the official legislation, please point us in the right (or wrong) direction. Also, there's no shame in saying "i made a mistake, i was wrong " especially online where nobody knows who you are. http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2015/15/contents/enacted

If the recording definitely proves an offence, I would disclose it to the relevant authority. Then if the offender wants to sue me for exposing them, they'll have to face a judge and be shamed again which is extremely unlikely. The problem is: does the recording DEFINITELY proves guilt?

Last time i closed a ltd company (not to avoid paying ccj) it took me 5 minutes to fill a form. 90 days later the company had been permanently closed. A lot of people do this every day after piling up debts, it's the easiest [problem] out there. In fact, companies like screwfix have found a way to slightly close the loophole by getting directors to sign a personal guarantee (with little knowledge of what it is). We have seen many former directors on this forum crying about personal guarantee after the had piled up lots of debts and closed the ltd company.

Company will fold as soon as court papers are served. They're probably piling up tons of requests of refund so to maximise their exit bonus. Classic limited company car traders trick.

Just wanted to say that you are one of a kind for stopping and exchanging details when riding a bike. Most cyclists would have gone with the wind. We need more cyclists like you. Nice one!

So you bought the car from a limited company. Tough luck unfortunately. These characters know that they can pile up ccjs, shut the company and open up next day in the same place, same people, different name. All perfectly legal (ish). Sounds like they are in another dispute with the man you spoke to, so more evidence supporting the classic scenario of the limited company. In view of this your best bet is to either get a ccj and hope the company is still standing at enforcement stage, beg for some money from them (unlikely to happen) or sell the car in bits to limit your losses. Sorry.

Ok, let's filter the water to clean up some hard facts. First of all you need to identify who is your potential defendant. This is the person or company listed on your sale receipt. One important thing to consider: if you have been sold the car by a limited company, keep in mind that they can shut it as soon as they receive court papers and you'll be even more at a loss. Hopefully your sale receipt is in a company name "not limited", i.e. "dodgy motors" without ltd or limited. Look out for the small print at the bottom or rear of the receipt where they could state something like "dodgy motors is a limited company registered in England and Wales etc. etc." Now, let's hope you're not dealing with a limited company, the person who signed the receipt is personally responsible, so you would sue them personally trading as... i.e. John Smith trading as dodgy motors. If you find their personal address you would have a better chance of recovering your money. Of course if they are pennyless and with a long list of unsatisfied ccjs against their name, you'd probably never see any money. There's a way to look for ccj against an individual. In all honesty, it is difficult to think that an engine can lose all oil in a month/1000miles and come up with all the defects you listed. The dealer would have some trouble explaining this to a court. Is it fair to expect a car just purchased to run for a month/1000 miles without self destroying? Yes, unless they pointed out the faults at point of sale, which they didn't otherwise they would have made you sign for it. So your problem is not whether you could be successful in court, you have very good odds, but if you'd be able to enforce any ccj.

OMG! This must be reported to the manufacturer immediately as they might recall the thermostat. However, the fault might lie in your wiring or consumer unit. It is possible (very unlikely but possible) that the fuse mcb serving the thermostat is faulty and didn't trip, or it did but too late and thermostat was already on fire. The thermostat should still be under warranty, so contact the manufacturer but before giving them the thermostat take lots of pictures and videos of it. Also, IN WRITING, let them know that you don't want the thermostat to be disposed of or "misplaced", it's your property and as such should be treated. They'll probably try to send you z replacement thermostat and that's it, refuse and tell them they've got to pay for the damage. All of this assuming the electric is ok. Or if you want a quick (but costly) solution, call your insurance.

What would a solicitor do? It's a neighbour dispute, he rightly wants you to stay within your boundaries and you want to gain as much space as possible. I don't remember if it was on this forum, but i remember the story of someone who spent £80k taking their neighbour to cort for a strip of 4 inches which they couldn't use anyway.

Strange that the builders didn't notice the leaning wall from the beginning. You can report a dangerous structure to the council and they'll send around a building inspector who will condemn the neighbour's garage if it is dangerously leaning and could collapse as you say. At that point your neighbour will become your worst enemy as not only you are in a dispute over boundaries and making inevitable building noise and dust, but now you're gonna cost him money, a lot of it. If you're looking for a fight go ahead, you might even win and your neighbour would move, or, you'll be the one forced to move. So, what would i do? As you're in the middle of a large and expensive project, you could patch things up by offering to fix the wall. Of course if it's a matter of demolishing the whole garage, no, but if the wall can be pinned and braced it would only cost a grand or so. This is one of the very few times i would lose money unjustly. Been there, done it.

As predicted. See a real independent legal advisor specialised in employment law.

Repaying the money??? Not on this planet, unless you ask someone protecting employers for a living. They won't have a chance in a billion even if the payment had been a real mistake after 4 years.

I'm not going to give my 2 pennies considering that with employment matters i always end up being attacked. However, my strong advice is NOT to trust people on an online forum for choices about your life. If you have home insurance you could have legal cover included, so explore that avenue and get proper advice. Or if you are in a union, speak to them; they should be pushing for everyone to get the allowance! Finally, research online "working custom and practice" as well as the related "implied terms of employment contract". Do not let anyone tell you that the employer is always right because most times they aren't, they're just good politicians playing cards with humans which they consider inferior.

No, because the regulations state that you only need to provide name and address. Any other particular will be just an extra bit of information. Besides, if you say that the inspector got your name and address right but the dob wrong, they coild turn around and say that maybe you disclosed the wrong dob (as many do). Anyhow, dob is not essential, so the penalty stands, unless you find another reason to appeal.

Someone mentioned Park Royal. I go often to a large scrap yard in that area as I run older cars and often need parts. I witnessed all the times i have been there a number of non-Adam, non-Peter (don't know if you can mention ethnic background here, some people are easily offended) negotiating prices for whole vehicles at the front desk or swapping parts (engine parts, tyres, suspensions, interiors, etc.) from different cars in the yard, looking like they're making one runner out of 3. Could it be that these unfit vehicles are the not bad enough to get the dismantling documents and then end up in these salesmen's yards?

If you start asking for gmc numbers at your surgery, they will start behaving faster than the speed of light. Try but don't tell them what you want to do with it, just remind them that they must disclose the gmc numbers upon request .

When you apply for a section 75 refund the credit card company must refund the all loss, not just what you paid by card (if the clsim goes through) It's in the regulations.

Yes, you can extend 12 months at the time. As far as i know, no upper limit.

I agree that it's very strange that brakes suddenly failed. Could it be that she scraped the car belly on a speed hump and lost all brake fluid before getting to the roundabout? Car needs to be inspected to understand the reason for brake failure.
