Thanks Norm, Ill check out the underside and the height adjustment, though Im not sure what you mean by having a lend of us ?
When I found the mower, it had a rope tied to the lever... now I think I know why.

@Blended, how did you get the pictures to show up ?

@carby, yeh, got frustrated and gave it a couple boots. It's pretty much just the front-right wheel that's buggered, everything else should be right. The red plastic on top I think might have already been broken, or loose, but some plastic glue might be in order.
