So, after such excellent service, Daisy has ground to a halt. We had noticed a small misfire and lack of "power" returning from a day trip to the Peaks, not too worried I took Daisy to Worcester where I was attending a work type meeting. We took an early start to avoid the worst of the traffic and had a steady run down. The return saw the "miss" getting a little worse, Friday night the "miss" became a "backfire" and the result was a tow home!
At the suggestion of the Recovery Man, we changed the distributor cap and again were mobile, but still "missing". So, Points, Plugs, Leads now all changed, and Daisy was running smooth at "tic over" and seamed quite happy, until we came to a small hill, still missing. A flat road, 40 -50mph no issue, but under load we still had the "miss".
A few days of this, and then the "backfire" was back, and so were we.... to the drawing board.
