Thank you - I will try changing the fuse.

Unless you're trying to kill your wife, I'd also get the cable replaced or properly repaired by someone who understands what they're doing.

Good lad .. and if that doesn't work, give your lass a pair of shears to cut the grass with.

Hello. My wife cut through our lawnmower cable, re-connected the blue and brown wires, after which it worked fine for a few months. Then last weekend the tape came loose and I think the blue and brown wires have touched each other while it was plugged in. I've stripped back the wires and re-connected, but this time nothing happens - there seems to be no power going to the mower. I'm not sure whether I should buy a new cable and go to the trouble of fitting it as I have a suspicion that the electrics have been blown in some way by the wires touching.

Would my suspicion be a fair one and if so, would it be better to dump the mower or is it (easily?) salvageable?

Many thanks for your advice!

Plenty s*** already. A bit mower dumping shouldn't make much difference.

I would keep the mower - it may have some scrap value - and dump the dozy wife who chopped through its cable.
