Taxi Driver Online

Just a quick update on the cab.
1500 miles and not a single breakdown

Seriously it drives sooo much better than a TX2. I am loving the new dash too with the rev counter.

I will keep you updated on any issues that arise.

Did Dennis used to be in the T&G??

Not in one million years

Sorry mate thinking about the wrong Dennis.

No worries.

1500 miles?

thats not quite 2 weeks on my school run, my mondeo has done it since january 18th with no major drama yet

Its now just over 2000.
What I am saying is some people on here will have you believe that the TX4 is [edited by admin].
I am telling you now that so far its the best hackney taxi I have ever driven. I dont class private cars as hackneys - sorry

Place your bets now

You opening a book on distance, time or both Skippy?

Tbh I would not drool over the car just yet!!!! The track record on these cars are appalling when you consider just how long they have been making them.

After so many years of ripping people off and making extortionate returns re income, they should have those cars singing. What we unfortunately have from a manufacturer after 50/60 years of making them is uncertainty, with people placing bets as to when it is going to go t!ts up and the owner after 2000 miles virtually saying..............well it has not broken down Yetttttttttt, not that I wish it on you.

Definately not a good situation.

I am just trying to redress the balance really.

What I can say is that the TX4 is a much better built taxi compared to the TX2.
There are several here that are now way over 100k and nearly 4 years old that they have never broken down.

It does seem that servicing is important and must be kept up but when it is, problems are few and far between.

Oh no they're not.

Phone Allied, and you'll get the same answer.

Well you're the first person to claim better MPG on a TX4.

In London they're the worst of the LTI's to date for fuel consumption. My Fairway was ok, then the TX1 went downhill, and the TX2 isn't much better at around 25 MPG.

That said, they seem to have (at last) sorted out the turbo hoses, radiators and warning lights.

I'm still aiming for the Mercedes though, there's just too much room to ignore.

By the way, which dealer supplied it, now that you have a choice of a whole one in the South East?

Pantomime season started early down there?
