Wow I''m glad to hear it...

That mower looks relatively new too. Think he can return it, or get some credit back from the store or company?

Perhaps he overfilled it. My mower''s instruction manual says you''re supposed to leave an inch in the top of the tank, presumably so the petrol vapour has room to expand. I''ve ever bothered with that though, although I might after reading your post :/.

no I''m pretty certain it was a damaged piston head. It had started making a knocking sound at the end of last summer (actually, the last time I used it), but we just put it in the shed for the winter. This year we were going to take it to the mechanic, but first dad wanted to see if it still made the knocking. Of course, it did, and finally made one last defiant knock of death.

90 days warranty? Wtf? In here, most products have at least 12 months of warranty, and usually expensive products come with 2 or 3 years of warranty. Good thing the European land has much better things then America

Regardless of warranty, in the UK, manufacturers have a duty to make a product that lasts a reasonable amount of time. The same should be true in America. If they give you grief, contact the American version of the Trading Standards Office.
