- 207D 1989 Autotrail Camper
Hi all.
Just joined the forum and looking for advice. I have a 1989 207D Autotrail Campervan with a 2.4 OM 602 engine fitted as standard. On the flat, I have no problems whatsover once she's wound up.
However, on the steep hills I travel up around the Highlands, the speed can drop off as low as 14mph ...
I'm looking to upgrade the 2.4 up to nearer the 3 litre mark using a model that has no electronics to speak of and the resultant headaches that come with it.
I would appreciate any advice regarding the upgrade and any necessary modifications required to complete it.
I'm a former truck mechanic, so will be doing the work myself...
Cheers Ian
