    • 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.

Which browser are you using? I know someone using AOL 9 is having problems starting a new thread - I'm wondering if it's a browser-specific problem

 

"Reply to thread" should open a reply box at the bottom of the thread, and scroll down to it. Could it me that the box is appearing, but you're not being scrolled down to it?

Kip, I'm on Chrome, and this is where it is for me, pretty much where it always was:

How different is that to yours?

Another couple of little moans from me, if typing a post in advanced mode and you click a smiley, it appears to the right of your cursor and you cannot scroll right to type after it.

 

Hmm I'm not seeing that. Which browser are you on?

 

and still no spellcheck in edit post... and thats the reason I normally edit my post! :p

 

Are we talking about the spellchecker which some browsers now have built in? I don't see a spellcheck in the advanced mode editor

I think he's found the button - it's when he clicks it, it brings up a partially blank page

 

(that bit between the forum name and the stickies looks a bit messed up in Chrome)

IE8 for my sins :p

Yes, the inbuilt spellchecker. Green tick infront of ABC, on the right on the quick reply, included in the main group of icons in "go advanced" but missing from editing posts

Hope that helps :)

New PM notification needs to be more prominent. Older versions used to pop up a box...

The above post constitutes my personal opinion on the facts in the post compared with my personal knowledge of the applicable legislation. I make no guarantees of its legal accuracy. If you are in doubt seek advice of a legal professional specialising in the area concerned.

Excellent, thread titles in black make it so much easier to read.

 

Just this left to do:rolleyes:

 

Nonono!!! Page numbers not showing!! It's fine for the chat threads but if I can't go to anything other than the first five or absolute last page of important fast moving ones this is not going to be good.

 

Has no-one else got this? It was fine earlier today.

Is it me?

 

On new posts I can only read the 1st page - (1-20) theres no page thingy on the bottom so I can go to next page. Have I lost it?

 

Wils

 

PS just noticed there's no page thingy on this either - Is that what you're looking for Lex

 

Yep, it is! Thank goodness it's not just me. Thanks wilma:)

OK, so message from this grumpy old woman:

 

Where has the 'next/previous post' button gone not to mention the 'last unread' one.

I admit I'm completely flummoxed.

 

I'm trying to send an urgent PM, but I can't input the recipient or even reply to a PM (also, cant seem to change the colour of the font)

 

Can't get to the last page of my thread.

 

Can't find 'search the forums' for new posts or threads.

 

Am I missing something completely obvious???

Well then it not just me :)

 

Suppose it could be just us - ( some sort of smilie thing that I can't find because it's on another page that I can't get to)

 

Wils

 

Ok, went to quote and highlight part of your post (made me chuckle btw:)), and it's bought up another small point that I seem to have lost the ability to change font, text size and colour.

 

On the plus side because of this it's much neater on the advanced post page - well done Webby:) On the downside I can't do any of the above mentioned stuff at the mo:rolleyes::)

 

ps - like the undo/redo function. Have we always had that or is it new?
