The intercom is crap, lots of feedback, so that has to be fixed.

I also think it turns itself off once you are over a certain speed.

But you will have a smile when six punters walk past all the TXs in front of you on the rank and get in your cab. :D


I LOVE WHEN PEOPLE DONT FLAG DOWN THE MERC OR E7 IN FRONT OF BECAUSE THEY HATE GETTING IN THEM ,THEN THEY FLAG ME DOWN IN MY TX4


You can get arrested for bribery :lol:

Same applies when people try to flag down a saloon PH.

Just can't fathom it out.

The doors are now ok. [-o<

The rear wheel steering control keeps buzzing, I certainly hope it's not engaging, thats bordering on suicide on a motorway.

The roof signs still making a noise when you go over 60mph, so thats booked in for next week.

The 'new' intercom they have fitted to the Vito over the last 6 weeks, wait for it . . needs a modification! :roll:

Its still [edited by admin] on diesel.

The roof signs been stuck down. Great technical solution by KPM.

The rear wheel steer still buzzes as though its engaging every so often.

I've never had a taxi with so many annoying beeps and buzzes and switches.

The intercoms still like a magnet for every mobile phone in London, I'm still waiting on this 'upgrade' they are looking into. :?

Its a great drive to and from work, although the fuel economys crap compared with my previous taxis.

Its still hard work stopping for passengers.

Passengers are still hard work when it comes to exiting and entering the vehicle.

Wonder what engine the TX4 will have when my finance is up in 2013. :-|
