tx4 engine failure
i bought a tx4 from john patons in glasgow two and a half years ago this taxi is not fit for purpose,i have experienced most of the the same problems as most of you good people have mentioned. I took great care to have my services done at the main dealears at the correct intervils for the obvious reasons.picked the cab up at 4.30pm after its 130,000 miles service,less than 12 hours later the engine has pseezed, what does that mean i asked the reply was £5,000 please, so for what its worth i would say to anyone thinking of buying a tx4 THINK THINK THINK AND THINK most folk learn from there mistakes but it is a wise man that Learns from other peoples mistake THINK ABOUT IT

no,funny that the tx5 euro 5 now come with unlimited mileage warranty on the engine core plugs,this is what used to rust and water got into the oil,my friend who works at heathrow,has an immaculate 07 plate fully lti serviced engine blew just after a major service,spoke to him last week ,told me he had spoken to lti,but they were not interested.will find out who he spoke to so you can phone this guy at coventry,maybe if everyone phones him he might get the message,i had a reply back from lti asking them how many tx4 engines,and crankshafts they have sold,they told me that they had nothing to hide,but would not tell me
