It's a shed load of grief. We've all been there, especially us in the building trade. That's why we need to take a deposit these days and stage payments there after. And insurance up to the hilt! Really good advice from comments.
Hey man, I’ve got a starter problem with my 2007 X3 the starter is just about brand new all the dash lights come on when I turn the key just no turn over or click. I’m thinking it’s the Ignition Relay I was wondering if you knew where the ignition relay might be?
Ignition relay will be in the engine bay on the passenger side where the fuse box is. You should get the start motor checked, check the wiring and check if you have a good ground connection.
Hey, just wanna say i love the content on this channel and its so helpful so keep it up‼️ also could you teach us how to remove old gas from an e60 n52? 08 528i Thanks!
I wonder if this sort of behaviour is similar in other countries in Europe. I live in Sweden and wonder if it works the same here of a customer doesn't collect the car. I mean it takes up plenty of space so it would be reasonable for the shop owner to be able to whatever he/she pleases to do with it after i while. Thank you for the insight. And thank for sharing all knowledge that you have collected over the years.
I can’t say about other countries bro I know in the uk all you need is communication and a specific elapsed time where the customer doesn’t pay or fails to collect the car and it becomes your property that’s how it works here. It’s also a civil matter when someone has voluntarily given you a car to repair then failed to collect in the specified time frame which I have him way over the time frame and he failed to collect it. I have all the proof which is why I won this and here it’s classed as a civil matter the most he could do is go to court and they can ask me to pay him what he’s owed which would be £0 he can of course make up a amount he believes I owe him but then after all my deductions it would be he’s owed nothing. Failing that he could request it to the high court for enforcement action but here as the car isn’t on business property and my garage is my own garage not a business garage open to the public enforcement agents are not allowed by law to force entry at all and deffinetely wont attempt to even try enter my land with my dogs that would be a big mistake with my 2 bully’s. But if they did get the car it has no engine and nobody is clued up to know what parts are for the engine and if all parts are there and what goes where so without the engine the car isn’t worth anything and I doubt anyone would want a 997 without the engine as the engines to buy a second hand one all rusted and corroded is about £15k just for the engine and bore scored. So I think he knows this and will cut his loses as to be honest he would lose big time I have all the proof and I have to keep it for the next 6 months as the police have said incase of a claim but he will have to show anybody I have messaged him and gave him more opportunity’s then anybody would have gave him and he refused to even message me which was wrong. It may be the same in Europe but here the customer has 14days to respond or collect the car I gave him 2 months! And then he reply’s saying I will get it sorted soon…. He said soon as if I hadn’t already gave him 2 months regardless of it here in the uk that’s how it is with any garage or any service same way if a builder builds you a house or shed and you don’t pay after they have the right to destroy it that happens a lot here

Sorry bro but can you explain what’s the old me? I don’t understand I still do BMW videos so where is the old me you mean when I talked fast and was open with the camera where I didn’t hold it in one position so people could be nosey and shit is that what you mean because I’m all secretive now with everything? Because apart from doing all that nothing has changed with me doing BMW videos I changed in myself as I don’t need to press as hard as I once did I have more then most and I’m happy and content with where I am today no need to spin it like I did when I started as you have seen from a lot of RUclipsrs everyone has cut posting so much or not at all anymore RUclips 4 years ago isn’t the same today. I think you forget bro aswell back 4 years ago I didn’t have the buisness I got now this is no longer my job I don’t consider RUclips a job just a way of passing time and enjoying editing my buisness is what covers most my shit you think I could afford the cars and stuff I do from a RUclips income 😂 your nuts my bro that’s why I don’t need to post anymore I do RUclips for my own reasons and that’s that I’m comfortable all what I used to do ain’t gonna be me again how I was then till now changed as you would of known if you watched me all these years I changed it all up many years ago
Hey do you have a email I can message you? I’m trying trouble shoot, I have a 08 e61xi N54 200k miles mhd tune stg1+. I originally got a code for a crankshaft position sensor p0335 started up rough so I replaced the sensor & now doesn’t start. Got a code for D904/not present & A0B4 eng start, starter op. So I change the starter & still no start. I took it to my mechanic & still couldn’t figure out. He said it cranks but doesn’t have spark. Where should Iook at now? He said it could be a computer but not too sure. Car usually sits outside
A big pain bro especially for me it’s been a headache worst thing about it is I didn’t even want this car I wanted it gone! The parts everywhere in my shop is a nightmare complete nightmare and he didn’t have the money to finish the rebuild 😡 tells me that after it’s stripped but I should of known anyway as he kept complaining about the cost of everything when I was telling him he needs this and that because it was old or rotten and didn’t want to do it fact is I had to make arrangements for it not something I planned too as I thought it was going but it didn’t so now it’s gone and that’s it man

When you buy a Porsche. You need money. To look after it. If you cannot afford to do that do not buy one ..that goes for any car .. I have 3 cars a Porsche cayman s. A bmw 530 , and a Merc 400 e class convertible .. the bmw is at my place in Spain .. the others in England ..
To be honest "Dean" allot of people own BMW's who cannot afford to maintain or repair them! The truth hurts, as for your case Dean have a drink and chill, the person clearly dumped the car on your property! PS good to see that you are looking well!
Thanks dude I will be honest that’s one of the reasons I went to the police! As when I saw the insurance was off and no road tax I was even thinking and kept thinking if he had brang me a stolen car hence why he never cared about it or if the car was even his. I asked the police to confirm the details of the owner and they wouldn’t but they asked me to tell them his name and they could tell me if that’s what it shows on their side which I did and it matched thankfully! I was just a bit confused and ti be honest he was acting shady the moment he dropped the car to me wasn’t responding and was hesitant to fix the car when I found the car wasn’t even insured it then had me thinking other things so I had no choice but to get the police involved even though I didn’t want too but I had a lot of people asking me if the car was stolen or even his car. But the police told me it’s not a issue they can deal with they could help me with me being the new registered keeper but couldn’t do anything else as it was a civil matter between me and him but again as time has gone on I haven’t heard nothing from the guy even still today so that’s what I mean it all doesn’t sit right with me and didn’t 👊🏻
@@BMWDoctor You have to think of it like this Dean, if someone dumped a car outside your house and it had been there for weeks, you phone the police and they come with a tow truck and it goes into the crush machine the liability ended when he took the tax and insurance off and left it at your home - Some people Dean are not honest! You did the right course of action as everyone will agree!
Exactly that mate! That’s what they would do and it don’t even have a valid MOT anymore he brang it to me with one month remaining which he could of got it done aswell that’s what I mean the way I see it he couldn’t even afford to keep the insurance on it which showed he couldn’t afford to even pay me or for the rest of what was needed. I was planning to put it out on the road because to be honest bro as I said I didn’t want the car I had no intentions of keeping the car I have my one that was enough headache and expense to get right I didn’t want another one as I know the cost involved in these. Thing is though as I told him which I think he didn’t care as the engine was so rusty and corroded things were breaking which I told him would happen before I removed the engine as it’s common on these cars especially in the uk with the salt on the roads and when I told him he needs this and that it was coming up to more then he wanted but it wasn’t my fault neither his him and me weren’t to know how bad the engine would be until it’s been removed and stripped which it was bad and obviously with Porsche the cost just keeps going and going. To be honest with you he will spend more money chasing this for zero outcome then he would leaving it so far I ain’t heard nothing regarding the situation hence why I done the video but who knows I mean what he’s spent already on the car buying it plus the parts then putting it in court would be stupid to come out with nothing again. Fact is as I said when he proves the messages when I messaged him and he failed to respond plus that he removed the insurance and if it caught fire or even got damaged he wasn’t covered I even told him if that was a normal garage and they left it outside with a load of cars being shunted around and they wacked it it couldn’t be repaired so he couldn’t of cared that much for it as who knows what could of happened and he wouldn’t of got anything back anyway. Just think I mean it could of been stolen or caught fire while with me with the engine in and then what he would of lost the whole car and then what could he have done nothing as he wasn’t insured on the car which means he would of lost anyway so I hope he sees the sense of that.
@@BMWDoctor Dean to put your mind at ease just get a journal and write in, when he dropped the car off the arrangements made, the responces, keep the text messages on the phone, and just add updates as they come, just wait 1 year, put in how much you have spent in maintining it, park space the charge £50 pounds per day, do not alter the engine just store it and charge for that as well - calculate a service charge invoice or projection until the end of 1 calender year - and if it goes to court then he will be more than out of pocket and you in, he will also have to pay court fees!
