Lawn Mower Repair Glasgow
On Saturday I started calling around different Lawn Mower repair places in Glasgow see who could fix my Honda Izy Lawnmower. I call the first one they have 3 week waiting period, calls next one they have 2 weeks waiting period, calls the next one 3 weeks also, thinking this is no good, finally get to the last one and they tell me it’s a 1 week waiting period. I am like ok, how much will it cost to repair, “oh it will be £70 whatever is wrong with it unless we can’t repair it inside the costs or parts and labour up to £70, then we will tell you but that be £20 for checking it”.. ah ok, so flat rate fee regardless if it just needs the oil changed.
So thought feck this, I am going to look up Google with the problems my Lawnmower that costs over £300 could have wrong with it, I find this simple page where guys says.
1. Check you have fuel (check, I bought new fuel and added it)
2. Check your oil level (check, I pulled out the dip stick thing and it was at correct level)
3. Check your spark plug (ah, didn’t even know lawn mowers had them LOL)
So I check where the spark plug is, I looked for manual on where it is and how to remove it, I find a video on Youtube about spark plug removal, turns out I have a spark plug ratchet, I have know idea why I bough one of them. So I remove it and it looks a bit black but to be honest I have no idea what they should look like so I head off to a car parts place and buy a new one, cost me £2.35 I install it and what do you know the lawn mower starts working, I repaired it myself with use of Google, and £2.35 go me LOL … to think I was going to just go to Costco and buy a new one cause I couldn’t be bothered with the hassle, glad I didn’t now and can finally say I am handy around the home/garden
