Lawn mower no-go, so sortakinda greenfingered, but will also post on DIY.

Only after dismantling starter/controls [all was fine], did I see the earth wire from the rubber moulded plug, which joins in to start the mower, is severed.
This just shows in the tiny gap between end of the trailing 15m flex and end of plug.
It's a moulded rubber plug. Could I carefully slit this with a cutting tool to re-wire it? The plug casing shelters a pair of 2mm holes into which the fixed round contact pins slot. It's a 15m lead. Mower bought May 2012.
Hope that's clear enough.
Don't want to have to find/fund a whole new lead/plug combo when it's a small fix with simple plugs.
Many thanks.

Personally, being mains electric I would replace the whole trigger unit. cheap is not so cheap where 240 volts are concerned.

Thankyou Peter - that page/info, just wouldn't come up for me, trawl though I did.
It is just the 15metre flex with specialist socket>plug that I need to fix replace - which I don't see there?CAP[UK]for FREE EXPERT DEBT &BUDGET HELP:

That's weird, it did work both times. Anyway google wolfgarten 3200 spares, click on wolf-garten.org and follow service/spares. I would recommend getting the correct part, messing around with mains electric is not worth the cost.I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.0 -

Looks like it is just a standard Shuko type Euro socket, not that common in UK though.0 -
Molerat - I am so grateful, thankyou:-)
It didn't occur to me for a moment to graze bay of eek, or similar. Where was brain? No idea.
In fact, Mackays' aladdin's cave is within range and I'll use their freephone no. tomorrow.

Mackays say NO, but suggest H.Gee Electrical Ltd.

Clearly another institution I hadn't known of. Long may they, and their ilk, last.
