If you can prove the page is defamatory towards you - contact first the page owner, and then the ISP (through legal channels only).

If it's just incorrect, not sure you can do much, aside of alert trading standards, LPGA, etc....

The site itself is hosted in Canada Martin, so if the author won't play ball then it's gonna be some work on your part.

you could setup a DOS attack but that wouldn't be legal.
Is the photo on his own webspace or linked from yours?
If it is you could change the picture to goatse or something just as bad :y

As mentioned in the other thread http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1244914425/15#16:

4. At the same time request from the installer that they remove your conversion from their website. Unless their Terms and Conditions clearly states that that they can use your details, photographs of your car and details of your conversion on their website for marketing purposes then they have no legal right to do so. Interesting that there are no T&C's on their website!

You therefore have a legel remedy to get them to remove the page if you need it.
