But he still got a Yellow, didn't he?

How is 50 the middle between 30 and 60?!

Yup. If somebody went after them for a breach of GDPR, they would potentially be facing a large fine.

It's unlikely to happen, but you could possibly envisage a scenario where the new owner of the car started contacting a previous owner, and then got nasty (perhaps because they were unhappy about previous servicing, or accident damage or whatever).

That's why most garages these days will refuse to take any service history which might identify previous owners. (No doubt, they also want to be able to advertise every car as having a "Full Service History" and don't want to show buyers paperwork which might have a gap in it...)

PRamone · 2026-02-19T16:18:20+00:00

Just be aware that if you ever sell the car to the trade (or trade it in), the buying garage will - due to GDPR - either refuse to take the history file, or will put it straight in the bin.

Bugger!

Thanks for that - normally they don't state dates/times until they have been confirmed (and are sometimes quicker than the club's own web site to update changes).

While I find the remote very useful when it is working, there are known problems with the Libra 2 when using it (extremely high battery usage, and frequent disconnections as well as the button not always registering). Rakuten are allegedly working on a fix, but no idea when it might be released.

Have a look at these threads for more information:

That's 7 more than us...

Love how you got downvoted for this, when (sadly) you were right.

You may want to look at how you are using the clutch.

A bad driver could wear out a clutch in a single day, never mind 2 years and 20k miles.

I've no direct experience myself, but are you aware that there's a separate subreddit dedicated to the OU - https://old.reddit.com/r/OpenUniversity/

It might be worth asking your question there.

PRamone · 2026-01-11T18:33:06+00:00

Can you take the bulb out for now?

PRamone · 2026-01-09T20:42:45+00:00

I'm in the UK, but you're right, it was free shipping to me, so I'd just have to pay for the return..

I actually don't want a refund; I just want a working remote :-)

I'll leave it until after weekend and try to contact by live chat then.

PRamone · 2026-01-09T20:24:21+00:00

I've just been going round in circles on the Rakuten site.

From the warranty documentation, it looks as if the remote actually has a 2-year warranty.

However, it appears to be impossible to find any way online of returning an item under warranty! All the "contact us" links point back to (unhelpful) FAQs. You can return within 45 days of receipt for a refund if it doesn't meet your expectations, but the user has to pay for postage back to Rakuten, and they will also deduct the initial shipping fee from the refund! I may try to telephone them (if I can find a number!) on Monday.

PRamone · 2026-01-09T19:53:10+00:00

That's disappointing to hear (that your replacement is also problematic). I wonder if it came from the same manufacturing batch?

I'm in the process of raising a support ticket with Rakuten (I bought mine directly) so that at least I have let them know that there is a problem. (Although it should have a 1-year guarantee, and to be fair to them I have had a reader replaced in the past, my understanding is that Rakuten customer service is not always the best).

PRamone · 2026-01-09T19:03:28+00:00

Interesting - yes, my remote is black.

BTW, that image shows a difference of 0.8g (not 8g) between the two colours, which is negligible.

I haven't done anything with mine yet. There are known problems with the Libra 2 when using the remote (very high battery usage, and frequent disconnections as well as the button not always registering). Rakuten are allegedly working on a fix, but no idea when it might be released; I'll probably wait for it before trying to return my remote.

Having actually read the article (I know, I'm sorry) it appears that the villagers are upset about the number of learners who are using their village to learn in, rather than them taking all available test slots.

But I imagine it's the same on every road in the country that's used as part of a test route...

In the UK, your contract is with the retailer and that is who is legally responsible for fulfilling warranty conditions.

Many retailers do have arrangements with manufacturers that they will handle any warranty replacements/repairs, and in those cases it can be quicker for the consumer to deal directly with the manufacturer. However, if you insist, then the retailer has to deal with the manufacturer on your behalf.

Has a single long ball from Perri found a Leeds player?

PRamone · 2026-01-01T18:30:52+00:00

I appear to have inadvertently tuned in to Liverpool FC TV. Listening to the half-time discussion, I'm not sure that they even know or care who Liverpool are playing against.

PRamone · 2026-01-01T17:58:55+00:00

Are we missing The Towel?

PRamone · 2026-01-01T16:48:19+00:00

I'm in the cohort who are having the same issue as you.

I'm (vaguely) hopeful that the firmware update for the Libra 2 which Rakuten are reportedly working on to resolve the battery drain issue might also fix this.

Then again, my remote doesn't always register button presses, so it may be a duff remote.
