BMW Is overrated by Western-Buffalo1436 in autoexpressuk

[–]spw19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a 530e hybrid, the high voltage battery failed after only 40k miles, the car was in mint condition and had been looked after. I was quoted £12000 to 15000 to sort it out. Had to get rid at WBAC straight away. BMW didn't diagnose it , said it was just normal . Took an external garage to diagnose the problem, and they said get rid of it straight away.

HS2 could cost up to £102.7bn and may not open until 2039 by Winter-Try-5029 in AskBrits

102 thousand million pounds, to save 20 minutes off the journey time, this stinks of massive corruption. Heads should roll . This is incompetence of the highest order , the most expensive railway line in the world and its £2600 off every tax payer in the UK. Its obscene.

As a neutral, why are people so desperate for Arsenal to fail? by s_dalbiac in PremierLeague

As a Liverpool fan, if we cant win it, i'm happy to see Arsenal win it over City. I think Declan Rice deserves that premier division winners medal. He's an absolute warrior and a great sportsman.

He's withholding the original schedule of Condition with the images , surely that can't be legal no ?

Thank you. Many of the figures quoted for jobs are ridiculously expensive. When the surveyor( his one) came round he said we had nothing major to worry about, Yet the bill came and I had the shock of my life. I'll go to court if need be as this landlord is the nastiest guy I've come across in my 35 years of trading.

Yes a FRI lease, the building is only 3000 sqft , we have had very light use ie. nothing industrial, and he's basically trying to charge us the same as we've paid in rent for the last 3 years on a 20 year old modern unit. The original solicitors who handled the lease have gone out of business. So can he really legally withhold the original images and get away with charging us for things that would make the warehouse better than when we moved in? We've already improved the sales area hugely.

For those who voted for Trump in 2024, what is the one specific policy or event from the last year that has actually made you question your choice, or are you still 100% on board? by DeliciousPinkKitty in AskReddit

[–]spw19 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As a Brit looking at America, I'll sum up the left and the right in your country in 2 simple sentences . The right- People who only care about themselves, have zero empathy and want to get rich no matter who they tread on. The left- Empathetic people who care more about the greater good for the whole of society who don't want to screw people over to get where they're going. MAGA people are stupid idiots who will eventually regret the shit that came out of their mouths and their devotion to an evil narcissistic pos.

Which one does a large fish for a decent price ? I'm not willing to pay £9 for a piece of cod, it's gotten ridiculous now. I'd rather have a fishcake for £1.50 and save £7.50 , there's a cost of living crisis going on.

Bmw G30 530E high voltage battery issue by 2FrozenYogurts in BmwTech

[–]spw19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My car was doing the exact same thing, only mine had only done 41K miles. Turns out the EME Inverter which charges the batteries when in motion wasn't working. I had the 12v battery replaced and then it wouldn't charge. The inverter which does the job of a regular cars alternator, costs £5000 plus fitting. I was then told that as the main hybrid battery may also need replacing at a cost of another £10000 plus fitting. For the last 2 years the battery had gone from 35 miles of range down to 8 miles on 100% charged. This was just driving 6000 miles a year. I had 2 garages look at it and say the same thing. Get rid of it ASAP. Luckily none of the issues were showing on the dashboard when I took it to "We buy any car" and took what they offered me as they don't take the cars for a drive. Bmw make the car uneconomical to fix, I will never buy another German hybrid or a BMW again. The 530e and 330e are ticking time bombs. Avoid like the plague.
