Good stories Ed, I have just reset the advance, that was one of the things I messed with yesterday. Once the boss gets back I will ask her for something to wrap around the air filter then I will give it a try.
One of the features I built into the car was the fuel line runs well away from any heat source, until of course it gets into the carbs. I am thinking in terms of longer studs and more heat resistant packing between the manifold and carb flanges. Maybe stainless studs too. A heat shield under the carbs might do some good but I will take your advice and check out the LR forums.
It seems the latent heat when the car is standing for a few minutes is the problem but that said I stalled it when setting off from a lay-by then it refused to restart straight away, although it had been stood ticking over for a few minutes.
Can you still buy 'real' petrol???
