Did you make any progress? Did you manage to get it to collect? Please let me know.
Thanks

OK so yes, my insurance company replaced my Murray mower which was squashed when the roof of my shed caved in with the snow. They paid for a Mountfield 1436 and yes - a beautiful machine - but it simply doesn't pick up the grass cuttings. What is more annoying is the fact that when, by default, it reverts to "mulch" mode the belt soon burns out because of the extra strain on the cutters. At £66 each belt this is a major issue.
I took this up with the manufacturers but they were unwilling to help.
