Alright, ENOUGH. I'm going to clean out this bickering, then I suggest everyone takes a deep breath and takes John's advice...and leaves either Greg or Russ to comment next.

cheers

I also think that the best way to do that is to wait and see what Greg and/or Russ have to say. Greg chose to make this public but has not posted for a while which is his choice, hopefully things are moving on behind the scenes.

IMO the next comment should be either from Greg or a response from Russ and I'm getting heartily sick of all this pointless bickering.

Cheers,
John
I agree, perhaps the best way to deal with this now would be for a moderator to temporarily lock the thread then pm Greg and Russ to explain that the thread has been locked and why. Once a resolution to the situation has occured or if either side wished to update the thread the relevant party can pm said moderator to request that the thread be opened to allow the outcome to be posted.
This will allow the thread to remain on the forum for all to see as the op wanted but stop any unnecessary comments as it is now getting to the point where every post is neither resolving or contributing to the cause.

As far as I'm aware it is still being dealt with, Greg said he'd inform us when it is resolved.

I don't think Greg will post further until a resolution has been achieved, one way or another.

Given that Greg thanked the above, I think we won't hear anything until such time as it has been dealt with exhaustively.

It would appear it's now been dealt with "exhaustively".

For all of those customers, of this particular business, who have received rather "exhaustive" bills - you may wish to bear this those comments in mind.. However, They are very happy for you to spend 11,000 over 3 years (average of £3,500 per annum) on a car that ends up worth (in their opinion) less than £1000 ...

Thanks Ben

So there you have it, RT folded at the 11th hour and tied the out of court settlement up with a gagging order.
