I had my 1969 Series 2a Landrover booked in for its MOT this morning.
She hasn't been used for a year or so but I'd done a lot of work on her recently, getting it ready for the test.
She was running a bit rough and I hoped that was just where she hadn't been run for a while, but then just a couple of miles after leaving home there were several very loud backfires and the engine stopped.
I managed to pull in but she won't re-start. Everything turns over but she won't fire. Locked her up and walked home again in the rain.
I reckon this is the end for her, which is a shame as I've had a lot of fun in it.
