A word of advice on these little bikes. only charge them when you are present , never when unattended and certainly nowhere near your cars. and never overnight. A mate who is a fireman goes out to 2 or 3 fires by these things every week. You can imagine how he describes these things pouring out of China ...

Good point. I’m an avid cyclist and motor trader. I’d mistrust the batteries myself and yes. Keep away property. And charge only when I’m in. I kinda hate charging anything whilst in house come from Amazon on the cheap presumed China. Even 18v power tools drills I’m caution with. We did have a fire work and we and 90 other businesses lost everything. 20,000,000 building went down in one.

You effectively resolved their issue in a manner that they might not have been able to manage on their own or were unaware of how to do so. Your proficiency is praiseworthy in this regard. Your consistent interaction with knowledgeable individuals who value your business also contributes positively. All's well that ends well. I find the content quite enjoyable.

I am totally behind you on this one, as you went out of your way to resolve the problem. I have a car I bought 4 months ago with 6 months warranty, but this particular 2010 model is known for its chocolate door handles. If one of those broke, I would not bother either the dealer or the warranty company. Cheaper for me to import an OEM part from Japan in the correct paint code and ask my local garage, whom I have used for 17 years to replace the offending part.

Lovely and refreshing to hear of a decent and reasonable customer. I was praised by the dealer I dealt with in May, down in Exeter, when I purchased my 6 year Skoda Superb, telling him that I would be most disappointed if it didn't have ANY signs of wear and tear on it. He was shocked and laughed telling me he'd never come across a cussie like me. If you expect 'AS NEW', with everything parfect and 100% working order, go and buy new and stop having such high expectations and being arsey. You like others doing your job, are TRYING to make a living, and it's damned hard work and demanding. I know, as I work within the motor trade and see and hear what goes on every working day with the cussies that I serve. Many are just downright rude and unreasonable, banging the 'I know my rights' drum.

Had the same problem with my i30. Didn't realise there were two different parts, one with deadlock and one without. Obviously I got the wrong one first and none of spare parts places had the correct one. Easy enough to replace though. Especially when you have to do it twice. I put the broken part back on the first time. Always leave the broken part out of reach.

I love your approach to handling customer issues - I wish you were closer to me so I could buy from you! Most warranties I've had have clearly stated what was not covered, or the fault has shown up shortly after the warranty period ended ... I know it's boring, but can I suggest you look at the UK rules on Electrically Assisted Pedal Cycles - if the motor has a continuous power rating over 250W or the assistance is provided without the need to pedal, it is not legal to use on UK roads (or cycle paths) without treating it as a motorbike (which is hard as it is not likely to have type approval, so registering it for road use (e.g. getting a number plate) and getting insurance is likely to be hard! It is time the rules were updated, to be fair ... I think the 2017 ammendment to the 1983 regulations removed the old rule that a bike with up to 200W could have assistance without pedalling (and tandems / trikes could have 250W). The 1983 regs were also rather less prescriptive on how the power was defined. It is possible your ebike does actually meet the requirements (which are actually based on EU regs ...), so the 550W is a max power and its continuous power rating is 250W ... but you mentioned a cruise control / speed controller and didn't seem to pedal when setting off once ... so I suspect it isn't strictly legal (sorry to be a kill-joy, they do look fun). I think you also need to be 14+ to ride a EAPC on the road too

A very nice resolution for the lock again. It's such a difficult position that used car salespeople are in. Because as a consumer, regardless of the age, if I buy a car with a warranty I would expect anything other than serviceable items to be covered. But what you've done is exactly what I'd expect, not a new part but an equivalent part that fixes the issue. Ultimately, while you may pay out a bit more than other dealers, I'm sure you make back from recommendations and then some.

The car should be in good condition at the time of sale except for any faults pointed out to the buyer and put in writing on the sales invoice. After this people should actually own their own bloody car and not come back whingeing about parts failing on a 12 year old car. An insurance type warranty if given by the dealer will only cover certain items and this is all the customer should expect.

At the beginning of last year I bought a 16-y-o car from a mechanic who works for a major garage and who does up and sells second hand cars in his spare time. He sold it to me for slightly under the list price but changed the distribution belt, brakes and checked the parallelism of the front wheels and fitted 4 new tyres. He also gave me 4 spare wheels to be able to fit winter tyres. A few months later, during heavy rain, conditions caused the turbo to break. I took it back, paid for a new turbo and fitting - price totally correct. It's the best car I have ever owned and will pay whatever it takes to keep it running. I'd have no hesitation in recommending the guy to anyone who is looking for a car. When you buy a second hand car you have to accept that things can go wrong and make the best of it. If not, buy a new one.

Great video as always James. A point about the bike you showed - it is not road legal in UK so buyers need to be careful. Maximum motor power allowed is 250 Watts, it is illegal to have a throttle control - at normal speeds control has to be by pedal assist only, and maximum speed under power is 15.5 mph. Any throttle control must be for walking pace only. Any bikes with a higher spec than that are for off road use only. I have an electric bike myself and it is in full compliance for public road use. As far as I am aware the rules are the same in the EU. In the US they have less restrictive rules. Following a number of recent accidents you can expect the rules to be enforced rather than as many hoped relaxed.

A warranty is a form of insurance policy on the car that provides for parts and labour (usually) to fix a problem encountered within the period of cover. Within that warranty there is the scope that is covered by the warranty that should be identified at the point of sale and not when a claim occurs especially, as the cost of the claim appeared to be excessive. I am also surprised that the cost of the parts appear to be quoted as retail prices and not the trade price that would have been appropriate. Whilst the principle of betterment is well established it can be more cost effective to fit a new part rather than incur costs chasing down a s/h part with the risks that entails. I can understand the garage's reticence in fitting a s/h part on two counts - 1) A door lock can be considered a safety critical item and fitting a s/h part makes the garage liable for the consequences if the part fails. 2) Fitting a potentially defective s/h part that may fail later will cause considerable aggravation as to whether the defect was there unnoticed at the point of supply or whether the garage caused the problem. Fitting new parts makes it completely unequivocal. I think the customer is being very pragmatic, if a little foolish in that one manual rear door lock and three operated with central locking devalues the car. What this highlights is the preponderance of mostly unnecessary gadgets in modern cars that may look good in the brochures when new but after a few years can cause disproportionate costs when they fail especially, when the mark ups on parts prices is factored in as well as the manufacturers supplying fully built assemblies instead of individual parts.

Depends how much and the level of warranty offered. If it’s a gold spec warranty and it’s a non-perishable part I’d expect it to be covered. But it depends how long the warranty covers. If it’s out of warranty period then it’s out of warranty.

If a car has a warranty then it should come with details of the warranty and what it covers so there is no dispute. Some garages blindly say the car has a warranty then refuse to fix things. The word "warranty" on its own doesnt mean anything. The classic example is a 10 year old car with a warranty but the car is so old parts are obsolete.

If you are now outside of the first 30 days, the seller has one opportunity only to repair or replace the faulty car. You will not be able to ask for rejection at this stage. This does not apply to cars purchased before 1 October 2015. The Sale of Goods Act allows the seller to either repair or replace the car within a reasonable period of time without causing significant inconvenience. If you are complaining about a fault within the first six months of purchase, it is presumed this fault was there at the time of purchase. The seller will need to prove that this fault was not there at point of sale. If you are complaining about a fault outside of the first six months, you will need to prove that fault was there at point of sale. If the seller is unable to repair the fault because the same fault persists or a new inherent fault has developed, or the replacement car has an inherent fault, then you can ask for your money back or a price reduction (partial refund) if you wish to keep the car. Remember, for rejection outside of the first 30 days, the seller is entitled to deduct the mileage you have added onto the car

Two identical cars at different sites which one do you go for ? . The dealer you feel most comfortable at . That's why a lot of the no sites dealers ( cazoo etc ) are struggling . I've walked away from sites within a few minutes of meeting the sales rep in some cases, therefore not even looking at the car.

I can see your point but I would assume there is the reality of what the warranty actually says. So would a new engine part be a gain? Alternatively does a new fan belt require a contribution? No I don’t think it does and I would be happy to deal with you. However, the problem you have is what the words are on the paper. So the real question is two fold the words on The paper and your description to the customer. That is not being cruel to anybody but obtaining a level of understanding before the deal is signed so you can say the subject was covered and this is what was discussed. From all your videos I would say you are a straight guy. As a deceased dealer once told me no small dealer can afford to make a mess on his doorstep! I am pleased you had a good result!

So DYU is the latest company to be giving KZfaqrs free stuff. I've seen loads featuring this company.

What ever you do, store that bike away from anything else you own or rent.

Maybe real clarification of what the warranty does NOT cover before a customer puts their cash down would save you money and aggravation

The rule is, if a workshop refuses to fit second hand parts then dont use them if you're car is older than about 6 years. There are many cases where aftermarket new parts plainly do not work properly and second hand is the fastest and best solution. Old cars need special care and require a higher skill level to maintain properly.

Well isn't that odd, Car UK has just had a DYU folding bike - there seems to be a rash of motoring KZfaqrs getting free E bikes at the moment... 50% off or 50 quid?Looking at the rather neat price signs, have you changed warranty provider? Would a faulty door lock be an MOT failure?

I think more people need to actually read their warrenty terms.. they are all quite clear what they do and not cover and at what age ranges

Under consumer law the door not opening would be covered by the warranty as it would fail an mot due to it being a saftey issue and dangerous. Which when you think about it is completly understandable,
@ChopsGarage Жыл бұрын
No it would not as under law there is no such thing as warranty only the consumer rights act and as stated that only covers faults present at point of sale this clearly was not as it passed mot the morning of pick up. The law also allows for fair wear n tear based on age, miles and price paid

Any warranty needs to be defined just like any other contract. Want scope, price and time. Time is the worst. I find suppliers want to enter into a contract with the time being open ended.
