So..... I have a 56 plate Doblo 1.4 petrol mpv type car. I was wondering if the Doblo platform is based on another Fiat platform,or is it its 'own model' as it were ??
The reason I ask,is because I have fitted a replacement gearbox from a grande punto 1.4 and this has a slightly higher diff ratio......great on fast roads/motorways,once you've got it wound up.....it'll do 95+ and still going,but it struggles a bit,when pulling away on steep hills (because of the longer gearing. Now, I was wondering if a larger engine from another Fiat model could be fitted ? I was thinking a 1.8 (turbo maybe?) or a 2 ltr.....
Anyone got any suggestions as to the best way to go,please ??
I know that the Creation Camper guy fitted a 2.4 turbo (from a Stilo),but I don't want to go that far (yet...hehe). Speak to me people !!
