We know the limitations of the 'old' Fiat 2.8 TD 5 speed gearbox and its 'bad' ratios used on Hymer's, like mine, and many other early model motorhomes. I know they had around 127 bhp but will a new generation Fiat 2.3 multijet engine, 130 bhp, cut the mustard towing my race car trailer better than my Hymer does.
Does anyone have experience of both engines and their driving characteristics as I am looking for a new motorhome and keep ruling out the 2.3/130 bhp because I don't think it will cope. Therefore my option is to go to a more expensive and not so plentiful 3 litre 160 bhp unit.
Thanks
