Half way through a lawn today the self propelling mechanism decided to pack in, this just 6 weeks after a new gearbox was fitted. So i go home and swap it for the back up, go to adjust the height and the lever snaps off. The first mower is still in warranty, so that's not too bad. But the back up is a chonda I got off fleabay (never again), and has been a royal pain since the day I got it. I had to finish the lawn off with an old Talon mower that has been in my shed for 2 years, the best thing is it bloody started the first pull of the cord lol. So now Iv'e got a 60k round trip to drop the bloody thing off at the mower shop, swiftly followed by a visit to the bottle shop.
