    Does anyone know of someone in/near Clonmel that might have spare parts or a cheap repair service for a grass strimmer?

    I heard people in Clonmel talking about someone called Johnny Black Pudding. Who is that, a new butchers or a nick name for a butcher?

    Neither, there is/was a family in town (and their surname escapes me at the minute) but they were known as the "black puddings" and Johnny is one of them :)

    Don't think Milleas do repairs.

    Pat Cleere in Dillon street does though and also Powerfleet in Ard Gaoithe Business Park (beside Boston Scientific)

    I don't know about power fleet, but cleeres is definitely not cheap, as per the ops query!

    Neither of them is exactly cheap I'm afraid. None of the bricks and mortar shops will be, but Powerfleet do a selection of parts which might suit the Op

    A little more detail might be helpful.

    Make of the strimmer, model, electric or petrol, how old it is and a little description of what the problem is with it.

    The more info the better.

    The name faintly rings a bell.

    Could there be a connection to Burkes bacon, maybe some of the family were employed there.

    I'm curious about it myself now.

    The strimmer's a Homelite HLT26CDY. It's cordless. Don't know how old (I'm asking for a family member). The problem is that pulling the rope doesn't cause the expected action inside the machine. I've seen him open it and point out a round black plastic part attached to the starter housing (the starter housing is number 37 in the second diagram linked here) where some of the black part has broken away. When I suggest ordering what I think the part (link) is online, he disagrees that it's the right part. To try another tack, I thought getting it done locally would be good, so I asked in this thread. I passed on the suggested places kindly given by you all. I suspect he won't try them.

    I do not know much about strimmers. But he might be better off to buy a new one. If the part is replaced it probably won't be too long before the battery starts to fail, if it is anyway old

    I agree. I told him that the cheapest cordless in Argos at the moment is €45 so any repair would have to be very cheap to make it worthwhile. Thanks for your help.

    I called in to Milleas today out of curiosity.

    They do fix lawnmowers ( apologies Jenny Smith) and strimmers.

    I asked him about repairing a strimmer for a "friend" and he told me that you would have to bring it in to them so that they can figure out what is wrong and if it can be fixed. He did say that Homelite parts should be easy enough to get.

    The strimmer is petrol engine driven, not electric as cordless may suggest.

    You wont replace it like for like too cheaply. Also a petrol driven one will be much more powerful than electric.

    I think you are on the right track with the part you selected (no 32 on the second diagram list) although without seeing it I cannot be absolutely certain.

    http://www.magic-parts.co.uk/acatalog/Homelite_HLT26CDY.PHP

    Not an expensive part or difficult to fit but if the spring has to be removed it can be tricky to refit correctly (think of a clockspring)

    Bring it to Pat Cleere or Fleetpower or Sylvester Morrisey in Carrick on Suir.

    Should'nt be very expensive, ask for a price before committing to the repair if you wish.

    Thank you very much, Dieselbug. He was surprised by that spring after tinkering too far today. He's set in his ways and isn't heeding suggestions (though I'll let him know about the Carrick guy for completeness). I think we can safely say intervening is a wasted effort at this stage and I'm letting the matter fade into the blue yonder like that spring.

    Sorry Oreq, assumed cordless meant it was battery

    Here's another possible option and without interfering with that spring.

    Cahir is a great place to live. One drawback, if you are working in Clonmel and driving to work, the sun is in your eyes in the mornings and evenings, at times.

    The Forum on Spirituality has been closed for years. Please bring it back, there are lots of Spiritual people in Ireland and elsewhere.

    If you decide on South Tipp then Kilsheelan just outside Clonmel is lovely, or if you want a larger place Clonmel itself isn't bad :)

    I have about 50 euros in coins and looking to get cash for that.

    What's the best place to change them? They are unsorted. Could they change in AIB?

    I don't know, but a word of warning. Certain Banks have a policy of only changing coins on certain days of the week during certain hours, so you'll need that info. You'll also likely need to sort and bag the coins yourself so that the bank teller can weigh them. So if you're making a trip to your bank to get some moneybags, you can ask about their coin change policy/times.
