    • 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.

Every day or two, I get a thing comes up on my screen saying there is an IP address conflict. There are other computers using the same IP address (or something like that). I have just ignored it as my sons computer uses the same wireless router. I was just wondering if it was possible somebody else (not from this household) could be linked to my router? Is there a simple way I can find out. There are a couple of reasons I have decided to try and find out. The first being the fact that I had to reset my wireless router sometime back and I have to use a universal password at the moment (no idea how I can change that). Another reason is because recently I have been losing my wireless connection (albeit, only for 20 seconds or so but can be a pain in the arse if I'm in the middle of a game or something) a few times a day lately. The third reason is the fact that this never used to happen, it's only the last couple of months really.

 

 

If all else fails, kick them where it hurts and SOD'EM;)

you've got a pc set to a fixed ip then

 

make sure they are all set to get IP by DHCP

 

if you look on the rooter homepage

it will give you menu options and somewhere will be a tab that allows you to view the wired and the wireless assigned IP's [pages will be separate areas for each]

 

then look at the device name that has the conflict see if its a named device on your network

This post is very old. Maybe this will helps:

 

To solve this problem:

  • Click Start/Control Panel/Network Connection
  • Right click on the concerned connection[Properties]
  • Select "Internet Protocol (TCP/ IP)" then properties
  • If the "obtain an IP address automatically" is checked and you still have this problem check the bubble "Use the following IP address"
  • Enter the IP address, Default Gateway (depending on the range supported by your ISP).

no fixed IP's will not solve the issue here

as how do you know its not already assigned?

Easy way to check as suggested is to try to login to the router as suggested at 192.168.1.1 or 1.0 or 1.100 or 0.1 or 0.100, it should be one of them, although I think the last may actually be the cable modem (that connects to the thick cable).

 

Virgin use Netgear routers, the default login is name:admin password: password or virgin, or is the name virgin ?, try the variations, and as suggested make sure DHCP is selected, you can also click attached devices to see who's using it.

 

It is unlikely even if someone else has hacked in it would make this error as it would still give them a new IP addy

 

IPconflicts occur whwen two people manually choose the same (static) IP but it sometimes occurs on DHCP systems, ipconfig /release and ipconfig /renew should fix it.

SOD'EM,

 

I realise this is quite an old thread now, but are you still having problems with your IP address?

 

There is a fairly simple method of securing your home network, which would alleviate your concerns re neighbours 'borrowing a cup of internet' - called MAC filtering.

 

If its still bothering you, I'll post up some instructions.
