So far my googling hasn't been successful so can anyone point me to an
online supplier of THICK strimmer cable please? The cable I've been
using with my Efco 8250 petrol strimmer is 2.4 mm in diameter and
breaks frustratingly often.

I got a thicker one at B&Q - no trade name on it.

Try looking for your local agricultural merchants, they should stock
some.

You might also want to try strimmerline.com, they are the UK importers of Desert Extrusion strimmer line. They've got different line profiles available in all sizes and it's all commercial grade co-polymer line that lasts a lot longer than lower grade lines.

If it's breaking so often because you are strimming heavier weeds like nettle and dock, you may want to consider a brushcutter head instead of a line

Agree, something like the a PivoTrim Strimmer Heads, they prevent line breakages from having a pivoting action where the line meets the heads for when you hit hard obstacles. The website mentioned above sells them.
