I recently bought a Loncin, 5kva genny from eBay. Cant remember the sellers name, but if you type into eBay - 5 or 6kva generator they will come up. Good solid generator. Was about £300 ish

It was good value beca7se it had euro plugs fitted. They provided me with all the parts to change. Was brand new though. Let me see if i can find the seller. If i remember correctly their normal generators were still good value.

I got a honda 5.5 kva from Stephill about 8 years ago, it has been abused, used daily, its had a new frame due to rust and been soaked wet many a time and still starts first time every time, it's unbelievable. Think I piad about £750-£800. Worth every penny.
