After months of looking on and off for a Fairway Driver I finally bought one....Model year 95. Been in the same family from new, came off service December 2012...and not a lot of rust (amazingly) and drives tight as a drum, most I saw/drove were slack and, well you know what....my '79 Corvette Stingray has now gone to pastures new but the taxi is far more fun! Really straight guy selling too....he has a small taxi fleet and repair business.
few questions though:
1/ I've been fiddling with the taxi lights.....I know the rules about not having them working on the road, but as I said just fiddling being the curious sort......the one on the B post which say 'taxi for hire' also has another row of lights that go 'blue'.....what does this mean...'not on hire'?
2/ She has the Van Aaken Euro 3 system...looks to me no more than a EGR system and maybe a DPF (diesel particulate filter system) can anyone clarify this? I used to be a engine R&D guy and I think this may go in the bin....these N/A 2.7 are wheezy at the best of times....I didn't want the low pressure turbo system, simply to keep things simple.
3/ Why would the taxi have a previous MOT from 2012 etc whilst still on license...I thought that with the PCO test an MOT would not be required...forgot to ask the seller?
cheers for now guys...great site you have here
