I've borrowed a petrol chainsaw and offered to replace the cutting chain
as part of the deal.
It is not one of the main brands. Not done this before so is it just a
matter of getting a replacement chain the same length or is there
something else I need to look out for?

ooops...meant this to go to DIY group.

No problem, there are often chainsaw questions here too.

Most chainsaws use chains with similar drive tooth spacing so, yes,
it's usually just a chain with a specific number of links that you need.

However there *are* different types and sizes so I'd ask a chainsaw
specialist what's correct for your specific model of chainsaw. What
make is it by the way?

I've used http://chainsawspecialists.co.uk who are very helpful and
claim to be able to supply chains for *any* chainsaw.
