Managed to fix and put back my damaged cable in less than 30 minutes. This video helps a lot. The REAL trick is to remember how the cable needs to go via the tension relief lug, this is not done/shown in the video!! I managed to thread my cable incorrectly but even with this mistake and putting the switch back-to-front. It still took less that 30 minutes to complete the refit. So now my 10 year old flymo lawnmower is fully functional and ready for a few more years of service! Saved a few quid too as I was able to repurpose my old cable. You do need a Torx screwdriver but they are pretty common and easy to source. Cheers for the tip and good luck with yours!
Hi Michael, it's great to hear that our video has meant you have been able to fix your Flymo yourself. Hopefully it is working great again, all ready for the next cut this summer!

Ok, by the time I've done all that, bought all that I would need to repair it, it would be cheaper to buy a new lightweight Flymo.
