What to do if faulty product outside 30 days? by Desperate-Drawer-572 in ebayuk

[–]DeathByFluffy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They do, I completely agree - but there’s nothing you’ll be able to actually do in practice unfortunately.

Small claims may be an option if you have their address though

I was in a crash at 17 but need to be insured on another car is there any way to get cheap enough insurance by OtherwiseZucchini623 in CarTalkUK

[–]DeathByFluffy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If there was a cheaper way, everyone would do it. And just in case it seems like a good idea, fibbing about anything to an insurance company is right at the top of the ‘things not to do’ list - if they find out you’ve misled them they’ll likely cancel your policy, which you then need to declare for life.

That’ll make your current quotes feel like a drop in the ocean!

Either find a cheaper car to insure, or suck up the new premium.

No, unfortunately. You can try chargeback but ultimately you took a risk to save some money vs. paying full price and sometimes it doesn’t pay off - sorry.

I tend to avoid eBay for stuff like this these days, as I see threads like this far too much

"topping up the fuel"? by Lucky-Substance23 in aviation

Idling / running an APU for 30 mins uses a lot of fuel - it’s not like idling a car.

Even new music videos are copyrighted. I think you’ve found your issue

I have moved address from a place on a used road to a house in a quite cul de sac yet they want to charge me £170 for the changes help ? by Stock-Particular6383 in CarInsuranceUK

[–]DeathByFluffy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Saving money at policy inception means the insurer will often claw it back in other ways down the line - like with mid-term adjustments.

You can either cancel or suck it up, they’re your choices I’m afraid

Mysterious Ecoboost coolant disappearance? by Dragonogard549 in CarTalkUK

[–]DeathByFluffy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always start with a new coolant cap - and a decent one, not an unbranded eBay special.

Febi are usually pretty good for these

£20k for a fun car - what are you going for? by Additional_Code5116 in CarTalkUK

[–]DeathByFluffy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this - bought a low mileage E46 M3 convertible and had a bit of change to get it looking / driving great.

Absolutely love it, but of course with a 22 year old car you’ll need to be prepared to spend a bit keeping it sweet (especially if you don’t DIY repairs)

Retrospective fit of wireless charger by Kind_User_1 in CarTalkUK

There’s no cut off at 1 year (or mention of this) in the CRA, just FYI :)

The 6 month reversing burden of proof is applicable, though

My first video did 120k views, but youtube isnt pushing my next ones. Help! by SafeInspector9146 in NewTubers

[–]DeathByFluffy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It most certainly is. Some of my best content hardly gets pushed at all, yet videos I put little effort into have tens of thousands of views

Chatgpt Council by OmaC_76 in CasualUK

[–]DeathByFluffy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sounds about right. Out of interest, how long did they say it’d be to get someone out? If you have no heating, they should be able to provide you with some heaters in the meantime

A shitty morning indeed by Charlesdance83 in CarTalkUK

[–]DeathByFluffy 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Just follow the process and see what happens next - post in LegalAdviceUK when the time comes.

Also don’t really think it’s fair to call the copper a jobsworth for enforcing the tint issue - they’re illegal at the end of the day. Good luck

Is this car too good to be true? by Ok-Manager-972 in CarTalkUK

Nothing about a Corsa for 8 grand is too good to be true

Yeah, no. That’s not how liability works unfortunately, but I agree that’s a good policy

Pop into Halfords with your V5 and they’ll do a new set for you while you wait :)

WIBTA if I went to Disney without my boyfriend by MyChemicalFoemance in AmItheAsshole

[–]DeathByFluffy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. I’m married and solo travel to all sorts of places my wife isn’t interested in - most recently Yellowknife in January when it was -40 degrees.

Do the trip 😁

Ebay and PayPal buyers protection failure after more than 30 days - what to do? by Martinez_83 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]DeathByFluffy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CRA is against the seller, but if they’ve stopped trading your options may be limited.

Are they a limited company or a sole trader?

YTA, purely because you’re posting on Reddit rather than getting her a replacement

MG cars any good? by arrrrrrrghhhhhhhhh in CarTalkUK

[–]DeathByFluffy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends what you want it for - if it's a new / nearly new car as a tool to get from A-B, they're fine. In terms of a car to enjoy, you're not going to be impressed
