    Be careful. A repair might cost more than it's worth & it might be impossible to get parts. What make is it ?

    Yeah. I know how much repair will cost vis a viz price of new one. It is just a basic maintenance check as it drags a lot but I know if the cost of it is going to be X then I will know it is not worth it. A bit like gettijg a shoe repaired. ( Who gets shoes repaired nowadays?). Was flabbergasted to find out how much it cost to get a shoe repaired once. It was almost the price of a new pair. Lesson learned.

    It won't push properly; the blades get churned up/don't revolve and if I force it I plough up the grass. Make? Can't remember. But it's not a Qualcast or simiiar sized one. They cost around 40-50 Euro. This one cost about E100.

    I might give Ivors a buzz. I remember a long time ago ago I took a mower to a fellow in Mervue who did a good job on one.

    But if it costs X Euro to sort it out, I might as well dump the fucngik thing.
