    Well I was looking for one many moons but finally found one overhere. Complete but with some tlc to do.
    If anybody has spareparts laying around give me a pm.

    A quick look at their webpage made me realize that the spareparts now a days are gold plated.

    Hi Wim. If you want spares your best bet is to go direct to the manufacturer (Hugh Prichard & Co Ltd, Nottingham - 0115 927 2321) -they're much cheaper than the dealers, and very helpful: I needed a new control valve, and the current one wouldn't fit, so they reworked a new one to the old pattern, and charged me a few quid for the extra work, and it still cost me less than 2/3 of the price of one from mower magic . You'll have to write or phone though- they don't have a website or email and Idont think they take cards so dust off the chequebook...

    That's strange because meanwhile I found: www.sheenflamegun.co.uk
    And the emailadress says: Hugh Prichard ltd sheen.
    On mentioned website is a pricelist: a washer for the nrv cost 7 pounds, a complete pressure gauge 9 pounds.
    Or the gauge is cheap or the rubber washer is expensive :-k

    To remove the shield/chimney do I need to remove the fuel pipe ?

    Maybe things have changed at Pritchard's recently- it was about 2 years ago I spoke to them...
    The listing for a washer for the NRV is a bit odd too-the Sheen nrv doesn't have a washer to seal it iirc, so I assume thats the price for a complete NRV.
    By the way, if you're still lookig for parts for your Premier carbide lamp, PM me.

    Yes. Undo the screw holding the chimney to the handle, then unscrew the vapouriser from the valve.
    If you want a copy of the instruction book, I've got one I could scan and upload.

    That would be great !
    Its not a complicated thing but I have had nuts or bolts dropping inside thing and a hard time getting them out.
    Or trying to unscrew things that where not meant to unscrew...

    In that case, you'll need to roast the soil and the roots as well coz some weeds species are really resilient.
    On the other hand, I reckon you'd be better off with a shovel on the snow.
