Nice easy fix then, and cheap enough if you have to order a new one.  :y
When she had her allotment we used to leave an old Quantum mower in the shed. One day I got the mower out and mice had completely eaten the primer bulb and fuel line.  ::) ;D

I don't really cut my lawn, i just decapitate the zillions of weeds.  :D Living on an open plan estate, why worry. See the neighbours with their scarifiers, weed'n feed, patch repair etc. and think, fark all that malarkey.  ;D

Buggered if I can see any hole in the old one, and it holds water when filled.  Presumable its the tiniest pinprick that only opens under pressure.

I'll get another spare, just so I have one in stock, given they are stupidly cheap.

I must admit, since switching to the dilapidated Atco, I can cut both lawns in less time than getting the extension cable setup and then moved from the front to back of the house.  :y
