I would not use an E7 even if I could.
I know the TX aint perfect but they are ultra easy to work on and will easily outlive an E7 and in the case of the TX2, several major parts can be purchased at the local Ford dealer as they are Transit based.

I have had gearboxes and axles rebuilt the same day for a couple of hundred quid so down time is minimal with them.

With the TX its just a case of finding out what part comes from where. Things like brakes, suspension, engine parts can etc can all be found at prices much cheaper than a main dealer

As they are now chinky made, that will be just like ordering from the chinky menu,
Keeping an eye on you lot from sunny Devon,BTW Priestys skint :shock :so I found out last night from my old man

So now you add racism to potential libel.

Happy Holidays skip.

Well I picked up my brand new 10 plate TX4 yesterday and I can only say its superb.

I cant believe how well it drives compared to the previous models. New dash layout, DAB radio, silky smooth engine, great suspension and better mph than the TX2 (which is not hard admittedly ).

OK its not perfect (drivers leg room is still shocking and drum brakes on the rear ! plus its 10 grand overpriced) but I am overall really pleased.
I will most likely be doing longer hours which means I will earn more cash so thats a good thing.

Not too sure why its not fit for purpose as Skippy keeps saying

Devilhunter dont mention superb while CC is looking

someone mention superb?

sh*te gearboxes and crap on fuel.

I wish I could disagree on that last point

It must be the way you drive the thing

Have they improved the braking system? I used to have a TX1 and many a time I found the brakes were prone to fade especially if you had something like 6x 13 stone males in the cab. Approached many a roundabout off a motorway and the weight in the cab really tested the brakes...................it was oh sh!t time, not very happy

They now have ABS on them now but I have never encountered fade.

We can only pick up 5 anyway unless it is a 6 seater Metrocab as we dont have passengers in the front. In fact I dont think anyone has a front seat even fitted.

Dont forget on the TX1 and 2 and most likely 4, the brakes are Jag XJ / Rover SD1 based so there are plenty of uprated pads that will improve the braking no end

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
