The car in question is an old militaryvehicle, from 1986, sold in 2003 to normal citizens. The car is a twin carb v8 3.5 litres. We are not sure wheter engine is pre 1986 or after, as it is a changeover year. It mihght not even be the orgiginal engine as there is a plague saying it was a 2.5 turbo diesel, but this could just been added after.

Hi Lotty
sounds like you are traveling in a MOD Land Rover 110 one of the 1st models..
regarding the blowback... check if the dizzy clamp is loose, may the dizzy turned slightly.
If you had some one fiddling around before you set off, thats may the point.
the other option would be that you had bad or pure fuel some 85 octane or so... in that case your dizzy need to be on TDC ! if fuel between 91 and 95 octan you want 3 degree before TDC. I guess the engine is running lumpy as well.
about the carbs... they are stromberges the ones with a wider carb cab ... right ? well the oil in there... unscrew the little black wheel on top of it and pul the stick out... if you can feel a resisted by let it drop in, the resistance of the ally carb rim and the black lit should be about 1cm ! if more you have to much oil in it, use some WC-paper to suck it out, if less, well top it up a bit.
you will find the LR110 Partsbook for download as PDF file here:
