I think it's proper name is 3183y, I can't remember if it's a plain PVC cabtyre cable or if it's a PVC hybrid and I don't have time to look it up right now I'm afraid. It's sometimes known as toolflex or by other brand names.

You could also use an HO7RNF or maybe HO5RNF depending on the voltage. This is a better cable because it's neoprene which is more durable than PVC.

Almost certainly a class 2 appliance (but check for yourself), so 2 core cable, 3182Y.

Back in my day all lawnmowers were wired in pyro, bloody young sparks today couldn't even etc etc....

I just had a thought, do lawnmowers require an orange cable by the regs in the UK?

No bother mate, just grab a roll of 0.75mm white flex from screwfix and throw a length of it in the washing machine for 30mim at 60 with this:

In all seriousness... If it dosent require by regs to be orange then some arctic flex would do the job?

my mower requires special. it's called unleaded.

What’s wrong with you Tel? You’re usually falling over yourself to help DIYers.

 

[telectrix]

no mate. i'll advise on simple jobs rather than a guy injuring hisself. if you read some of my previous posts, you'll see alot where i advise getting an electrician in.
