After something a little old school...

My father is a man of habit, his Husqvarna 254xp has just died and he is desperate for another as he insists that he dislikes the modern equivalent, apart from eBay is there anywhere else I can try and source him one? Thanks guys

Whats died on it could be repairable

Can see where he's coming from with auto tune carbs etc, but a 357 would be a good step up without being too modern, can get some good saws from Harry the cat on eBay?

Let Spud have a look at it . Might be fixable .......

I can understand why he wants to stick with a 254xp cos they are great saws i,ve got one in great condition but would not part with it but i know a mate has one he might sell i will see him monday and ask if thats any help

I got mine rebuilt a few years ago. Top end, replaced coil and vibration mounts. Good for another 20 years of occational use...nothing quite like it.

254xp was my first saw- still got it , and so has it.

I've got a very nice XP 254 which I rarely use now. Sounds like a good home for it. Make me a reasonable offer and he can have it.

I've also got a XP 242 which is a very fine old saw and sits on my shelf needing some work!
