Anyone own a metrocab? Are they all rattle boxes or is it possible to get a good one?

There's still some good ones out there. There's some cracking Metro's on the streets of Nottingham.

I had a series 3 metrocab for 4 years. Worst cab I ever owned.
Avoid like the plague.

I've had a series three Metrocab for eleven and a half years, from new. without hesitation I would buy another.

Maybe Skippy will tell me where I can get an electric one from.

I'll always remember the first time I got into a metro cab... and thought to myself what a fantastic........ Green House this would make.

Strangely enough, three owners later, my old one now has tomatoes growing in it :lol:

I would have thought that the ttt was the best one they made, at least 70% quieter, the 1 2 and 3 you needed a pare of ear defenders to drive them as they where that noisy in the cab,
I had the 2 and along with the above you could lay down a smoke screen, due to the egr valve clogging up
