thanks John I'll persevere

Hi John I'm afraid the problem has started again. I have found out that when I press the hazard warning light on the dash a warning comes up that the bonnet is open and when I press the switch again the warning goes off. The problem must be on the bonnet catch as you say. Is there a way to...

top man John it seems to have done the trick ( for now ) thanks.

Thanks John now I come to think the bonnet open light came on at about the same time the fault started. I've had it open and cleaned the catch up will let you know

Hi all.... for the last 4 or 5 days my Fiesta hazard warning lights have randomly started flashing when the car is parked up. When I click the fob to unlock it then lock it the lights stop but start again maybe half an hour later. The lights don't flash if I leave my car unlocked. The car...

Hi....just a quickie, is it possible to drill holes in aluminium oxide sandpaper.I can get a 5 metre roll from Tool station for about £4 but to buy to fit a sander they cost over £6. It's to fit a Mac Allister sander.

Could have been a thick branch John that jammed the blades and threw them out of sync. that's all I can think of

Good news John..... it's working.I stripped the blades right down and tried various ways of assembling them until I got the blades reciprocating correctly when I turned the drive. How long it will work for is another matter but at least it's working thanks to all you guys for your time and help...

There are two blades with a con rod ? as per photo the drive turns the elongated holes on the end of the blades I think both blades move it's just working out how I think I'll fork out £50 for another cutter head John this is way beyond me but thanks for your help and Harrie's

Going to take some time this John ( Liverpool come first ) please be patient

Hi Harry and John I've managed to relocate the circlip but it's still not cutting I wonder if I have got the discs in the wrong position the main blade is moving but the second blade is also moving in the same direction thus not making a cutting action does this make sense

Yes just found it John will investigate tomorrow thanks

Sorry telling porkies John didn't think I'd have time to strip it ( rugby on at 7.45 )

hi John i'll try to get a photo on but it won't be today I think it might be the disks inside the drive that are damaged but they look ok.

no all the screws are tight on the blades I have an old mains electric trimmer I can use until I get it sorted.....worst scenario is i'll have to buy another trimmer head £49. but thanks for your help

I think the blades are moving fully it's just they are both moving in the same direction

yes the blades are moving but not criss crossing they are just moving back and forth
