    • I drove a friends a car for a few days and I used cuvva car insurance to insure myself for the time period. Here's the problem: I made a mistake with the dates on the insurance, I ended up driving uninsured for one day and I got a speeding ticket. My friend named me as the driver on the Notice of Intended Prosecution as she should and I will take the blame of course. Will met police ask for proof that I was in fact driving? I mean, any more other than me replying to the NIP that I will soon receive from them? Cause I assume that my insurance for the day will be the proof that they need... Secondly,  if caught driving uninsured, what will happen please? I read it's £300 and 6 points. Is that all or is it worse? I'm only asking for information from knowledgable people. If you intent to just mock, you're certainly not helping. Thanks
    • Hi, Please find letter sent to BMW with all evidence off issues which is a link from Audi. Unable to share the footage on this forum as I am not the best with tech BMW FAULTY CAR LETTER.docx
    • This is the first item that I've ever claimed for - I don't really send too many parcels, probably 5 in the last 5 years, and only two with P2G / EVRi. I've attached two emails from P2G regarding their requiring the documents. They don't specify in the emails what documents I should be sending, although when opening the claim they were requesting that I needed photographic proof of sending - picture of the parcel with their label attached, in the EVRi ParcelShop. The second email is their closing the enquiry due to my failure to produce said document(s). I haven't yet drafted my claim letter, I wanted to be sure of this document situation first before I began action. But therein lies another problem. Not having a P2G account, I cannot be sure of the item value that I declared. The retail value at the time was £600, which is less than the £650 I paid several months earlier, so I would likely have used that, but cannot be sure. And without having an account I can't check either. But, I know that I did properly declare the item and a value that reflected its then retail price - I was concerned this declaration may have been used to single the item for theft. But now that the retail price has reduced substantially, even though the nature of compensation is to return the claimant back to their original position, without my purchase receipt, I was concerned that I may have to claim for less. And yes, I've been through your huge document store of information, in addition to MoneySavingExpert, Which, Citizens Advice, Gov.uk "make a court claim", my own law books (annoyingly I specialised in consumer law when I studied for my law degree, but I graduated 17 years ago), and so now feel that its time to either act, or drop it.

    • 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.

BMW - 2016 F30 330e Drivetrain Error Repair Estimate


Recommended Posts

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 diagnosed 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'. 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 completely died at a traffic light same day (dashboard flashing all over the place), couldn't 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 serviced 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 escalated and resulted in a now expensive fault?

I also suspect the KLE may have gone too based on other posts, but the dealer hasn't quoted 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.

  • lolerz changed the title to BMW - 2016 F30 330e Drivetrain Error Repair Estimate

only way to know is to get a 2nd opinion.

Is there a BMW Specialist or another BMW dealership (not of the same group) near you that can quote on the works?

Have you got a copy of the quotation you can scan, redact and upload here for people to have a look at?

We could do with some help from you.

Looks about right for the amount of work. Look for others to quote for the work also.

 

When did you purchase the vehicle?
