Well the Octavia has decided to lunch its gearbox this afternoon ON initial inspection it looks like a replacement box, Clutch and flywheel should see her back on the road But i;m scunnered So much for the Octavias reliabilty and being the best taxi around. Thats a full wiring loom a gear box and now a box/clutch and flywheel in the space of 6 months :( not a happy chappy with Skoda FFS its not even 2 yr old of 40k miles yet.
So decided that the octavia is getting chopped in for something else :)
short list so far is
VW Passat 2.0 Tdi in S spec with 6 speed DSG or 1.9 tdi in SE spec with the
5 speed manualMondeo115ps tdci in Zetec trim
Vaux Zafira 1.9 cdti in Thon nasty Life spec
Toyota Avensis T2 115ps derv
choices choices what would be the UKRCM taxi hack of choice?
