    • 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.

tried to quit smokeing 3 times previously but always started again after a week or so!

 

Always found the craveings so hard to deal with (tried cold turkey/patches/gum) and have finally found something that acutally works

 

BEHOLD the boots nasal spray! makes you sneeze, cough, eyes water and feeks like your snorting lava at first

 

but once you get used to it (15 sprays later) they work to stop the craveings very well and i would reccomend them to anyone!

 

im comeing up to my first week and thought id put a post on here because its very hard to do and i know other people out there will be struggling to quit!!! but i really cant believe how much the spray works!

 

happy quiting everyone i used to spend around

 

£3.50 a day on smokes

thats 1277.50 a year

£12775 over 10 years

 

Thats a very nice used range rover up in smoke every decade!

 

anyone else makeing the plunge to quit????

They're the crack of NRT!

 

Very effective but also very expensive.

 

If you have a look at online chemists you can get some very good deals on 3 packs of Nicorete branded also Boots and other small local chemists do 3rd off promotions on all NRT products every now and again so it's worth stocking up when they are on.

 

The issue for me with them was there is only 1 strength. I would have liked to have a low nicotine one to ease the spray down in a more gradual manor once your down to 1-3 snorts a day. I use to save all my near empties and use them to try an wean me off. They were also at times very hard to find in stock anywhere which is why I started buying online.

 

Loads of fun with smokers trying yours in the pub. Red streaming eyes and coughing fits :lol:

 

If that fails have a think about the so called E-Cigs. They give you a lot of control over nicotine liquid strengths, delivery method and flavours. It's also pretty cheap once you figure out the basics, get the right vaping device for you and learn where to buy liquid and bits n bobs.
