That's Day of the Triffids where they go blind

And public schools

That's Day of the Triffids where they go blind

First cut! the idiot next door has been cutting his for over a month, he cut it on Friday and again today. I think he uses a laser line for the stipes and measures the grass with a Vernier--------

I bought an Atco Admiral for £20 off eBay at the end of last year when my titan electric decided to set itself on fire.

The one I bought was hunting and the owner just wanted rid - Idiagnosed correctly as a gunged up carb. I spent £30 on genuine Briggs and Stratton carb kit and service items. It's been right as rain ever since. 

Now's a good time to look as the lawn neglectors will be just contemplating the first cut of the year  .

You can't say things like that on here!     

I still remember the telling off I got for buying a crank position sensor that didn't come from a VX parts desk. 


To actually answer the OPs question, we're fortunate around here to have a regional motor factors - c5 branches in the local towns that between them either have everything you could reasonably want in stock or can get it same day from another branch.


Been going there on and off since I passed my test (*cough* 23yrs ago this November) and never had a dud part. One of the chaps at the Shrewsbury branch has been there since before I started going.

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!

No more or less than it ever did. Just because something is expensive does not mean it's worth buying. And that's true for whatever metric you use for value.

apart from the brand leader of baked beans 

It's the end of the world I tell you 

Like something from the War Of The Worlds, where everyone goes blind after seeing the lights, expect me because I didn't.
