Members don't pay.

Member's get all the help that they need, trust me I've been there, and seen countless other cases.

No one is forcing anyone to join the LTDA, you have a choice of the LCDC or the TGWU. If your not in any, then you have no voice, or a very liberal attitude to spending your own money?

It's a lonely old world with little support out there.
Members don't get all the help they need, they didn't want to know when I needed help.

Just posted a reply from VOSA on my site, they have contacted LTI regarding Dangerous Brake and Accelerator function.

If you share my concerns contact VOSA for a report form.

Details on my site

Heard from a TX4 owner today who had so much trouble with his TX4 he sold it after 12 weeks !!

I am starting to get feed back on the Accelerator and Brake problems I have mentioned,while I still want to hear from you so that I can add problems to my web page,it is very important that you make an official complaint to VOSA,details on my web page.

There are a lot of TX4 owners out there with the same problems as me,one recent contact has had worst "luck" than me !

LTI/Dealers will tell you "I`ve not seen that before" or "they all do that"
Or "Its an Inherrant Characteristic" (Quote Trevor Hattersley,LTI) enough is enough,report Brake and Accelerator problems to VOSA ,these are safety issues and all faults to me please at crapcab@hotmail.co.uk.

If they were that bad, why remain a member? :?

The LCDC and TGWU give similar benefits.

I'm not a member any more, I left because of the way they treated me. Only asked for help once in all that time, obviously if I'd known earlier I wouldn't have given them all them years' subs.

That wouldn't have been the Edinburgh driver who ran into the back of a car when his brakes failed ? He recieved a new motor !

I drive a TX4 and the Radiator has been replaced twice, Turbo pipe once, headlights are needing replaced, full set of tyres, I could go on but you've covered most of the other problems. But there is one problem you've not had. The front end vibrates viciously to the point of losing control when you hit a bump or go over 60 mph. This is caused by the slightest of play in your wishbone bushes.
I forgot to add that the vehicle I drive has only done 30,000 miles !!

There is also one Edinburgh TX4 owner who's had 5 radiators !!!!

What did there advert say, we have tested this vehicle for over 1 million miles, and its the best thing since sliced bread.
All lies, it should be re named the lethal weapon.
I wonder what the PCO will do about it, or any council that insists on LTI vehicles only.
This heap of scrap should be baned immediately and all moneys refunded, before someone is killed.
How do we get someone with clout to listen when LTI has nearly everyone in there pockets

I think if you read the advertising carefully,the quote of 1000000 miles testing relates to the Engine unit by VM, not LTI testing of the vehicle.

Might be wrong but I think it`s clever wording by LTI, they are Masters of the Art !
