Mower lead

[NozSpark]

I have a customer who has a damaged lead on their mower and they want me to replace it (good!!).

Does anyone know where I could get one tomorrow????????

Does BnQ sell them???? (can't find any on their on line site)

Why not use one of these?

SF trade counters have them but B&Q do sell them (I have one in my car). It's orange outdoor flex

Oh yeh, cheers.

I think they'd love one of them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

does anybody know the reason you should orange flex outdoors, its because it stands out so you dont hit in the grass when cutting :^O why not stick with blue :coat

I actually have 25m of 2.5mm 3c orange flex in the garage,,,, but most (if not all) mowers use 2c flex and there would be nowhere to terminate the earth!!

you export the earth to your lawnmower?! Seriously? Oh dear. The fault current will go through you - the mower is double insulated.

Was nice knowing you.

Nice `pache. Though how are you going to end up carrying the fault current? the cable has an earth, which should be a damn sight better then human skin.

doubtful as sooon as you cut into neutral and earth or live and earth the rcd would see an imbalance across live and neutral supply and cut off the supply ; )
