Within a mile and a half of me there's a large Halfords an ECP and a Parkers while at the far end of town[about 3 miles]there are two Independant motor factors.
I remember the Cortina[and so many more]being launched-Consul Classic,Consul Capri,Triumph herald,Mini to name a few.
whats the actual fault on yours ? brushes or solenoid ?
id be inclined to repair the original . better chance of it bring more reliable than an aftermarket or recon and you woudnt know the history of a scrappy one !
Agreed. many many years ago I bought a recon alternator for my Cortina (it was THAT long ago) .... I think they'd just painted it!
I don't really cut the grass on my crap lawns, i just decapitate the weeds.

I bought an OE starter from Mercedes when I needed one for my Smart due to it being such a tw4t to fit. Had it been easier to replace I might have considered a pattern part!

Lord Opti bought a cheap Chinese self propelled thing at the end of last summer, and he's probably used it a few times by now so will be able to give a review.

Parker Brand petrol mower with drive and a large 53 CM cut.
About £300 on Ebay but shop around and I reckon you can find one for £100 less. I believe I paid £190 ish.
Can't fault it for the money other than being glacially slow.
Chinky 173cc 4 stroke lump seems OK.
This one M'lud?

Maybe you could get it remapped to give it a bit more Oomph!
Except mine has a 21 inch cut not 17inch, and 173cc engine not 150cc.
Also, my grass box is 75L not 45L.
I have it's bigger brother so to speak.
