Budget petrol lawnmower advice

[efiste2]

My trusty petrol lawnmower has cut its last lawn, the engine is smoking badly and has no power when cutting. So we need a new one, Basically its got to be a budget one but with a Briggs or mountfield engine as this previous one has served for 10 years with NO maintainence whatsoever.......any suggestions or tips on whats best to look for or just pop down to the B&Q and buy the cheapest?

hi, last month I got my 1st petrol a McCulloch M40-450C Petrol Rotary mower from homebase - it had 20% off at the time so cost £120. Briggs and strat engine, 4 stroke starts on 2 pulls max and has 4 height cutting positions by quick adjustment of the wheels - most impressed so far.
