Well ye've got to 'specially if ye've gotta drive all that way

well being even kinder the chap said he could prolly offer somewhere to kip, and the pubs 100yds down the road. now I just need to book a day off work and find a way of getting it back! I think I can source a trailer, that's the easy bit, it's finding someone (or a landy) to tow it with!

Can you describe running rough? I just watched my land rover go from running rough, to backfiring like a machine gun, to not running, to purring like a kitten. It took nothing more than some electrical and fuel system adjustments. Over all less than 100 USD.

I'm ready to believe that any rover can be brought back to life with a weekend and a credit card.

FFFFsake Nelly as someone said before join the aa/rac.
Nellys pick up plan
1.Join the AA/RAC get the recovery to home option.
2. drive up on your moped.
3. buy / get landy
4. put moped in back
5. get out your tools and the spares you took up with you (Ignition service kit + bits for cleaning carb.)
6. If you cant get it going then push it off his drive and around the corner.
7. call RAC /AA
8. if the RAC/AA man cant fix it they will tow it home for you(and some of them do know what they are doing).

But even if I / AA man got it going, it still wouldn't have an MOT

wot duz it need for an MOT?

Dont know, he rekons it should of passed, but there's always something

sounds like yu are throwing up obstacles.
did yo slitty pass its MOT?

book in a mot for the day yer driving back at various locations on ye route home.And jobs a goodun if you/aa man gets it running
