Taxi Driver Online

Hi All
Does anybody know what the Mercedes M8 Taxi is like. Looking at ones without rear wheel steer. Are there any common faults etc, manual or auto

Generally The Mercedes M8 is the top of the Bunch mine's a Vito Derivitive

Its done 200.000+ miles never broken down or been of the road for Spares

Running cost's not bad 38+ MPG mines a EURO 4 (its been Chipped for extra Torque)

High cost Items you will use Prop Shafts £1000+ you can get them Repaired but never as good as new
Also Merc's suffer from the famous Black Death ( LEAKING INJECTOR'S) This can prove very expensive but only having covered lots and lots of miles

While ive owned mine also changed Alternator £450+ Window regulator £200+ both done internal fan,side door lock, rear spring and a couple of sets of Brakes + pads

Generally im a happy owner. But I also service my Cab use premium Diesel BP Ultimate and use racing two stroke oil in the Diesel.

THANKS BOB.
looking at m8, tx4, e7. Ive got tx2 at mo but merc looking best bet, for reliability.
Is that a manual or auto you drive

Manual , Auto very nice but you pay the price in MPG
