    • 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.

I promised a Summer meeting so here it is. Some of you may know I organise a motorbike weekend but I have now booked a field just for us at the same location. What's that -where is it - oooohhhh sorry; Y Giler Arms Hotel, Pentrefoelas, North Wales. Only 6 miles east of Betws-y-Coed on the A5 with lots of attractions. If you like castles, canals, walking, just relaxing then come along.

 

The Giler is run by Kim and Adrian and Kim is a smashing cook (her background is rooted in catering management) and Adrian keeps a mean celler with Bathams beer (the only one outside the Black Country) which makes me very happy. There is electricity for those wishing to bring their caravan/mobile home/ trailer tent but please contact Kim as there is limited space for these. I haved reserved one of the two fields for those wishing to just camp which will hold 30 at least. If anyone wishes to fish there is a lake on site as a bonus. Whilst there is not a childrens playground there is a play area for the kicking around of balls etc. B & B is also available but again this needs to be booked in advance and the 'phone number is 01690 770612.

 

Y Giler Arms - Restaurant, Bar, and Hotel - North Wales

 

is the website if you fancy a gander. This hotel is located in the heart of Snowdonia with trips to the coast, miniature railways, prisons, the home of Gelert tents nearby at Bedgellert, slate mines, sheepdog training centre, go-karts and loads of other things to do - or not. Don't get worried by the proximity of the A5 as the camping fields are behind fishing lake, pub gardens, hotel so there is no noise - trust me. I have been organising a weekend here for the last 5 years so you can take my word on it - honest. You might even see otters in the stream running through the grounds. Decking has been added for this year on one side of the hotel/restaurant which I have yet to see. Bet the view is good. Because of the running stream there is a stipulation that young children be supervised but with tables and benches in situ this is not a hardship. Dogs are also welcome on site but only allowed inside in the locals ' slate-tiled' bar. There is a snooker room also.

 

If you need to reserve just tell Kim or Adrian it is Sally's CAG weekend. Those of us with ordinary tents don't have to bother but I would appreciate an e-mail so I can keep an eye on numbers. Can't see this being a problem though. If anyone wants to arrive early/ stay after there will not be a problem as far as I am aware.

 

I have to confirm the price but it will probably be £5.00 per night for tent and £10 for trailertent/caraven/mobile home.

I've spoken to Kim and the prices are being held - they havn't increased in years. So £5 for tents £10 for anything else and B & B also available.

 

I am attending the Dragon Rally in a fortnight (yes, camping) so will report anything relevant after then.

Not a problem, I've put up all sorts of tents for years so I'm sure yours won't be a problem. Was it brand new and what make is it? Can I suggest airbeds - Oswald Bailey do singles for £10 which I find more confortable than my bed. Pumps available from Argos or wherever.
