    • 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.

Do you remember the day you learned that Father Christmas didn't exist?

 

Well, all of you Top Gear fans out there should prepare to feel like that again...

 

One of television's best kept secrets -- the identity of Top Gear's test driver The Stig -- has been revealed, and it definately is NOT Barracad.

 

Sorry Barra. .

 

The Stig has been revealed as Ben Collins, a 33-year-old former racing car driver and stuntman from Bristol.

 

Collins commissioned a series of posters of the Stig from a Bristol company last year, and in the course of his dealings with the company apparently revealed his double identity.

 

Two Bristol newspapers reported the story soon afterwards, but most national papers held back because they did not want to spoil the spirit of the show. But then a major newspaper broke the story on Sunday, and the secret was well and truly out of the bag.

 

The BBC and Top Gear have so far refused to comment, but staff at the show are said to be furious.

 

Collins began his motorsport career driving in Formula First and Formula Vauxhall Junior before rising to Formula 3. He has also appeared in films like latest Bond flick Quantum of Solace as a stunt driver.

 

He took over from the previous Stig, Perry McCarthy, after McCarthy disclosed his identity in a 2002 autobiography and was subsequently fired.

 

Based on past history, it seems that a new Stig will have to be found before the show returns to our screens in December.

 

Ben Collins

Of course, it may just be a big stunt to throw us off the scent of the real stig.......which of course we know is Barracad!!

 

Now that's encouragement......I'm surprised Barra hasn't shown his face yet. Give it time though :rolleyes:

Never believe what you read in the papers, or anything a DCA sends you.

 

I know who the Stig really is, but I am sworn to silence.

However a large donation to CAG funds may tempt me to reveal a few clues to his/her identity. :)
