Hi all, hope you can help. I've received a £4k repair estimate from the main dealer after my 2016 F30 330e developed the dreaded drivetrain error. The qoute is for a replacement cell module and associated labour and various bits and bobs to get it done. I initially had them investigate the issue when it first popped up a year ago. They replaced the auxillary battery which 'fixed' the issue for a few months before returning. Last Novemner the issue escalated to 'Battery not charging' which would clear after powering off the car , and disappear. Took it into the dealer and they diagnoised a faulty high voltage battery under the boot but could not do any work as they needed to schedule more cars for this 'specialist high voltage work'. So they said I could continue to drive the car until they got in touch when the car could be booked in for repairs. Roll on to April, the issue became severe (battery not charging error not going away, car in limp mode one morning) and car completly died at a traffic light same day (dashboard flashing all over the place), couldnt engage in 'Drive' and had to be recovered by AA to the dealer. Turns out car was now only running on the 12v battery in the boot and that had run flat as the hybrid function had stopped working altogether. My question is whether this is a reasonable estimate. Could this be done cheaper elsewhere? The dealer has servived this car from new hence took it them in the hope they'd not point fingers at any other party. Should I be paying for this at all since I raised the issue with them before it escalted and resulted in a now expensive fault? I also suspect the KLE may have gone too based on other posts, but the dealer hasnt qouted for that yet. I worry they'll' 'discover' that after I've already shelled out for a new cell module and end up lumbered with another bill to replace the KLE. Feels like I know about what they need to do than they do. The Service Advisor has been completely useless. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. -
The Petrol Station is Shell Garage Wickham (Hampshire ) Another person obviously had the same issue as they had called the garage previously- -
Thanks Dave, that all sounds clear to me. In terms of avoiding PCNs, I'm not sure if I can. I need to be able to park in that spot, especially as I've got kids to lug forth and back for the school run. Likewise it's not always possible to use the MA's permit system either, as I've not always got them to hand. So, if I'm actively avoiding PCNs, then it could mean I've given in to their idiotic rules. But, I do get what you're saying, as I imagine the risks go up if they claim there are multiple PCNs to be paid at court. Not sure what to do with this one. -
Is it possible you could qualify for a DRO (Debt Relief Order) and ditch the IVA ? https://debtcamel.co.uk/end-iva-change-to-dro/ -
My IVA which I began in 2021 has for around a year now been passed to credit expert - I find this company and it's staff obnoxious and insensitive money grabbing monsters. What is my legal right can I have my IVA moved to another ip what happens if Hanover sell my file? I am ina real bad situation where my kids are unwell and this crest expert supervisor is saying I should try more than what I agreed despite my situation being very bad and kids unwell. I feel like they are bullying me and I duh I where to turn. I keep getting emails saying we at credit expert are in charge of your iva now but still I got messages about my review annual from Hanover which I sent documents and now I got a response from credit expert saying they think I agreed to pay more - how ludicrous is that how can I keep these bullies at bay. Who can I complain too without messing up my IVA. I'm going to post below what they sent me please someone help me as they are making me suicidal now.

Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld
ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,
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-

Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available
BankFodder posted a post in a topic,
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.
