    • 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.

Windows done some auto updates months ago, but they must have been corrupted. I shut down and it says "windows is configuring updates", and every time I reboot, it says the same. They never complete properly. If I try to install new ones now, it gets nearly there and then says "couldn't configure updates, reverting back to what it was".

 

Every single time. I don't mind, but it takes ages. I tend to just put the computer to sleep now to save time on wake up.

 

 

If I remember rightly, it was when Vista service pack 2 was updated. Try to re-install it now and it tells me I already have it installed.

No good mate.

 

When I look at the update history, it is blank. Probably because it has been so long since I last successfully installed an update. I can check for and download updates, but it won't install them fully. This is because the system is still trying to configure updates from months ago. I may have had a virus that has corrupted a certain part of my system, but I can't remember.

I've just tried to search for updates it said Windows encountered an unknown error and cannot search for updates.

 

Also, when I try to look at previously installed updates, it says no updates have been installed on this computer.:confused:

another usefull util freebe startup.cpl

 

lets you decide on what runs when PC starts

 

link and a bit about it , have used it here for many years etc

 

Mike Lin's Home Page

 

No need for me to advise on the HT logs as you have everything well in hand, kip, but just wanted to let you know that some time ago I discontinued use of Mike Lin's excellent Startup CPL in favour of Mark Russinovich's Autoruns.

 

It's a lot more powerful and comprehensive than Startup CPL, and can also be run from a command line if need be.

My suggestion. Download and install (Edit). It also has free version. AnVir shows you all startup programs and Windows processes, so you’ll find harmful file within one minute. I always use it when I clean my PC. Sorry for the offtopic
