Taxi Driver Online

I think every cab driver would like to have a choice of vehicle,any "experience" could then be demonstrated AGAINST by USING our feet !

LTI have a monopoly at the moment ,one day it will change,perhaps the China "initiative" may be the start.I am sure this is a death bell for Coventry production,probably a good thing for us owner/drivers but a sad event for the workforce at Coventry.

But look on the "bright" side , I AM POSITIVE THAT NO DIRECTOR OF MANGANESE BRONZE OR LTI WILL BE OUT OF POCKET,I AM SURE A PROSPEROUS CHRISTMAS IS ON THE TABLES FOR THESE PEOPLE AT OUR EXPENSE !
Peter Foreman (Crapcab@hotmail.co.uk)

KPM have sent me a letter requesting that I meet a "representive"of LTI tomorrow (22.11.2007) at their premises to discuss my "concerns with the Tx4". I have agreed to this meeting and will let all know the out come.

I wish you well.

What LTI need to do is to take back your pile of sh**, send it off to China, and give you a brand new vehicle.

Grandad,

Tell them to stick it where the sun dont shine get all your money back and loss of earnings, then get a refurb TX1 for a quarter of the price, or a TX2 and see what could be done to get a Nissan Navarre engine in, apparently it can be done, go and see the guy from the TV show chop shop
And while your there ask LTI to fit a Toyota, Mitsubishi or Nissan engine and gearbox in the TX4 ASAP or they are fecked

Well I turned up for my "meeting" and the LTI representive turned out to be our Trevor Hattersley again.

The only reason this meeting was called by LTI was because VOSA had asked LTI for an explanation of my claim that the TX4 has dangerous brakes and accelerator function.

Our Trev wanted to take my vehicle back to "Plant" again to test and strip down components.

I have totally refused this request the vehicles present condition is court evidence.They have not managed to correct or accept the disgusting condition of my vehicle up to now.

He road tested my vehicle again and said "there is nothing wrong with the brakes or accelerator function".(BRAKE PEDAL NOW ON CARPET ,WORSE THAN PICTURE ON MY WEB SITE !) crapcab@hotmail.co.uk

No explanation or offer of correction of all the other faults was offered,in particular the very bad gearbox crunch. (Much worse than any other TX4 I have tested)

Trevor Hattersley said that "In the event of an accident it could be proven in law that I had not shown due care to my passengers in driving a vehicle that was dangerous" . HOW CAN LTI HAVE SUCH AN ARROGANT ATTITUDE TO THIS SITUATION ?

KPM not interested in my problems,Trevor Hattersley said "I will have to consult my Barrister,and we have won all the court cases that people did not allow us to take the vehicle apart"

I pointed out that the vehicle had already been "back to plant for 4 weeks and was told that this was history,not relevant "

Our meeting was "concluded" ,my solicitor has issued a letter requiring written response to our meeting within 7 days,at which point my Barrister will commence proceedings against KPM.


PETER FOREMAN (BEXLEY129)

Clearly you must follow your legal advice, but LTI will use that to try and show the court they are doing their best, and you are being awkward.

Now I happen to believe you are not, but then I'm a reasonable mush, however the courts sometimes are not.

So he admitted that the vehicle IS dangerous?

In a word no !

LTI (Trevor Hattersley) has said they do not consider the vehicle defective,and with the same breath tell me that I am at fault for driving a dangerous vehicle !

It is a situation beyond belief !

I have written to VOSA to ask them to appoint an Independant Engineer to inspect my vehicle,which I will pay for if required.

How can a corrupt company be allowed to regulate their own defects ,history has shown that LTI are masters at the art of deception.

Peter Foreman

Was he aware of your 'campaign'?

Yes he has seen my site.

Bet he was pleased with that. Good Luck with it.

Yes. And don't let the f**kers grind you down.

LETTER WRITTEN TO VOSA



26th November 2007


Your Ref VSD 22176
LTI TX4

Dear Sir

I recently wrote to you regarding safety defects on the LTI TX4. I subsequently received a letter from the supplying Dealer, KPM, requesting that I attend a meeting with an LTI representative at their premises.

I agreed to this meeting thinking that it would be relative to the multitude of serious defects with my vehicle, but in reality their only interest was to condemn and criticise my complaint to VOSA.

My vehicle was road tested by Mr T Hattersley, at the end of which he pronounced, “Nothing wrong as far as I am concerned, it’s a Vehicle Characteristic”

He said, “I want to take it back to plant for Dis-assembly”

WHY IF THERE IS NO FAULT ? I REFUSED THIS REQUEST OUT RIGHT !

I pointed out the fact that nearly six months ago LTI (T Hattersley) took my vehicle back to plant for the same faults after agreeing that the faults were extensive, and after FOUR weeks returned it to me with the same faults stating that all faults were Inherent Characteristics of the vehicle !

I was told by T Hattersley that this was not relevant ! He also stated, “ We have won all court case that we have not been allowed to take the vehicle back and dismantle”, and said that he would report to VOSA that I had no interest in following up my complaint.

THIS IS NOT TRUE, HOW CAN VOSA ALLOW LTI TO INVESTIGATE AND DICTATE A COMPLAINT ABOUT VEHICLE SAFETY !

YOU ALREADY HAVE AN INDEPENDENT ENGINEERS REPORT (HE IS PREPARED TO ATTEND COURT) CONDEMNING THE VEHICLE, AND I AM PREPARED TO PAY FOR AN ENGINEER APPOINTED BY VOSA TO CONFIRM THE DISGRACEFUL CONDITION OF MY VEHICLE.

To add insult to injury T Hattersley made the comment “ You have not demonstrated a Duty of care to your passengers by continuing to drive a vehicle with defects, in the event of an accident you would face charges in court” Hypocrisy at its best !!

PLEASE ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS :

ARE YOU GOING TO ALLOW LTI TO LEAVE ME DRIVING THIS VEHICLE IN ITS PRESENT CONDITION ?

ARE YOU GOING TO ALLOW LTI TO ASSESS THEIR OWN PRODUCT AND COVER UP ITS INHERRANT DEFECTS PUTTING THE PUBLIC AT RISK

I CAN ONLY LIKEN THIS SITUATION TO ASKING A RAPIST OR A BURGULAR IF THEY BELIEVE THEY HAVE DONE ANY THING WRONG, THE ANSWER IS OBVIOUS !

VOSA has a duty of Care/safety to the Public and to me,YOU ARE allowing LTI to continue their catalogue of cover-ups.


Please respond with a sense of urgency, every day that I am forced to drive this vehicle leaves the public at risk.

Yours faithfully



P J foreman

I think that I am right in saying that you are going to have to be very careful. Should you be unfortunate to have an accident because of the problems you have highlighted, then you can be rest assured that you will cop the blame.

Think about it! you are not forced to drive the vehicle, you can always hire another and add the costs to your claim. You are going to have to show that you have acted within the realms of your claim, if you drive it, then you are possibly proving that it is safe to drive thus proving their case for them.

These are my thoughts only, I have no legal experience.

Good luck and think it out carefully, because they will!
