Thinking about byuing a 200watt turbine from 'wind power uk' for £400.

This would be better value for my money than the 'rutland 913' for the same money.

Has anybody dealt with the company named above please ?

Mark.
I'm not aware of the company you mention, it may be o.k
http://www.windpoweruk.com/200_watt_wind_turbine_kit.htm

They are the same Chinese imported generators that Navitron sell, I am aware of them and have heard good reports.
£100 cheaper also - I have seen the 200 watt version for £220 on eBay also.
http://www.navitron.org.uk/pricelist.htm

Certainly better performance and value than the rutland 913 when used inland, I didn't have much luck with my 913 in my urban location.

Top link is the one. it says that it should be 10 meters away from house. my ideal location is 7 meters from house and right next door to my garage ( wont fit a car init, only used as a junk room, lawn mower, bicycles etc ). Could i take a chance with i, as long as it's build to spec ?

I don't see why not, it's your risk to take, if the tower fails and it crashes onto something.

If is erected properly including cement foundations, it shouldn't be a problem, the main criteria is to mount it where it will capture the most wind.
