And this is what it can cause

thus quotes the man who put two LPG tanks in parallel without the legally mandated one-way valves, one of which was under the body, with sub-legal clearance and lacking the mandated legal fittings, shields, braces, felt to prevent galvanic corrosion and hose-end safety devices.

Did they put their car ON the fire or is it Herbie and it decided to go on there itself?

I remain neutral, although just a little pointer and some friendly advice to all those concerned, that it is advisable when matters are 'escalated' that it is best to 'guard ones own position'. Its not best practice to print all over the net 'one thing or another'.

Put it this way, should I have been involved in a matter like this,on either side, I would have been be able to rip any case apart simply as a result of what has been publicly posted. It is always best to remain level headed and view matters without emotion.

Least said, soonest mendest.

Mr "Swede"

OK I have just about had enough of your SNIDE / **** STIRRING Remarks .. I was asked to "Hold Off" before I said anything because of the Legal Matter you had coming to the Fore today .......

The Pictures this "Person" has posted on here are totally out of Context parts were "Placed" within the body/Engine Compartment of the 960 to ASCERTAIN THE CORRECT POSITION OF SAID PARTS & THE "POSSIBLE" LOCATION OF ANY PIPING RUNS & ELECTRICAL WIRING LOOM....... Further, It was the intention of the vehicles owner to have the LPG installation completed by a REGISTERED LPG INSTALLER Who is working under the GAS SAFE REGULATIONS ..... (Which I WILL POINT OUT that ANY INSTALL YOU DO IS NOT INSTALLED UNDER THESE REGULATIONS as YOU ARE NOT LPG REGISTERED .............Are you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Admin / Moderators Please note I am giving this "Gentleman" Fair warning here........

Mr "Swede" you mention ANYTHING appertaining to an LPG conversion listed on the VVC Forum from this point forward & I WILL (& Make NO MISTAKE ABOUT THIS) have our Solicitors serve you with a writ of Slander & / or defamation of Character & Libel ........ If you think you have a "Problem" with one of my Co-Directors then Sunshine, YOU AINT SEEN BUGGER ALL yet................

There was a time when I would have Lost my temper & done silly things

Sadly I have learnt the Error of my ways & now leave it to the Legal team to Strip you NAKED & leave you Without a Bean to your name.

So sir, the choice is Yours & Yours alone....... Any more snide / sarcastic / Demeaning remarks posted about or referring to the VVC on ANY forum WILL RESULT in you being "Served" & a court date being set.

Please Understand, I do NOT EVER make remarks like the above "Lightly" it is NOT an "Empty threat" .. I am NOT a "Keyboard Commando" I am the owner & Admin Officer of a Internet Company that YOU HAVE LIBELLED & SLANDERED on another PUBLIC FORUM ........

ALL your posts & Pictures on here Reference the LPG Installation listed on the Forum known as the "VVC" (Volvo Vehicles Club.Org.UK) have been Copied & passed on to our Solicitors ...................... if I or my fellow admin staff from the VVC see any more posts appertaining to the thread mentioned above I WILL without further consultation instruct our solicitors to commence proceedings against yourself & any person that may be associated with you at that time.

*** VOC ADMIN / MODS ****

May I request that you Lock off this thread please I do not want to have it degenerate into a "Slanging Match" on a public forum .....

I have had my say & the gentleman concerned has been made aware of the possible consequences should he continue on his present course..

Many Thanks Guys

KJ (admin Volvovehiclesclub)

Just wondering as this and other threads thereto relating, have been intriguing for many.

In order to resolve the matter what would the aggrieved party expect as a suitable resolution and /or amicable conclusion? What would be agreeable to both sides?

Lets have some figures in pounds ££££ sterling or a practical resolution 'mechanics wise'?

i am sure that all the above would have been best as a Pm to the member concerned, but as its public why should the thread be closed.

Many may not be sure as to why the thread should be closed either, although closure of threads is, as undertood, a mod / admin / owners perogative. Fair play.

What is interesting is that some suggest they will do ''this that and the other'' yet the people that ACTUALLY do ''this that and the other'' actually keep the ''I am going to do this that and the other'' to themselves, because it strengthens their position.

People that suggest that they are going to do ''this that and the other'' generally are full of ''hot air''. What is strange is that many people that claim they have been wronged in a certain way - are actually 'wronging others' in exactly the same way. Its hypocrisy some may say. I have met, in person, many of them and dealt accordingly with many of them during my life time.

A wise man plays his cards close and without emotion.
