From a bit of digging, i5 and i7 are quad core CPUs so would stick to these rather than i3 which is single core. 512 Gig SSD will be good, 8GB RAM .....something like this would do the job.... https://www.laptopsdirect.co.uk/lenovo-v15-iil-core-i5-1035-4gb-512gb-ssd-15.6-inch-full-hd-windows-10-home-82c500g4uk/version.asp I have been using Motorola phones manufactured by Lenovo for a while and they do the job. As others have mentioned, most Graphic Designers/Marketing People use Apple so if she is doing Marketing or Graphic Design then Apple is the way otherwise....match what she needs.

That was a joke from Khriss, Stubby is down at the Apple showroom getting fleeced as we type
-
Rather than flinging damn expensive options out there, what about looking at what she intends to do with the laptop and then match the requirements and add a bit to make sure! Being a bit stupid....what can one of these Apple lappys do for me that my aged souped up Fujitsu cant? I guess looking "cool", "trendy" and socially acceptable is in there but that being said, a fool and their money are easily separated! I do tend to think of Apple as "kings clothes". I get their customer support thing but that is for the uninitiated who think FSB is the Russian secret police and wear tin hats to protect them from viruses!

Just saying as it is....how much processing power do you need for surfing, playing Youtube, spread sheets and the odd letter? Not much......a decent quad core chip, lots of RAM and a SSD disk......am I right?? I know it is a gift, no idea what the recent CPUs are but the more cores are better (Quad a minimum), RAM...more the better and an SSD disk, not sure the manufacturers will do anything but now! You can spend ££££ on perfomance you will never use...bit like giving the 84 year old mother in law an Aston DB9!!!

I am still using a 8-10 year old Fujitsu.....stuck the memory up to 8GB and the big game changer....SSD hard disk, that really made it wake up.....much faster boot than the old spinner. The long and short is that if you are not gaming or doing high intensive video or graphics, an old banger with a new SSD hard disk and lots of memory will do most of what is needed for most......the rest is marketing bollocks!!!

Very good, you will go far in life.......if fixing 2 strokes......nice tip on if the idle screw is almost completely out and the engine keeps running you may have an air leak!!
-
If the idle screw is turned fully in, it is no surprise turning the L screw has little effect. Probably best to set the L screw to around 2.5 turns out...I believe this is correct and then set the idle speed so the engine keeps running and the chain doesn't spin.
-
It is just an old rule of thumb, there will always be exceptions and views will always differ plus the chain type and kerf makes a big difference but it is round about right and gives some indication or a starting point for the uninitiated and that is all.
-
The relationship is the maximum bar length in inches is 1/3rd of the cc so 60cc is 20", 120cc is 40" etc. Generally, most will go for a smaller bar.....20" on a 70cc etc but this is just a basic rule.
-
As ADW said, you can pull them off but it makes adjustment very difficult. You could recut the slot in the plastic end with care - junior hacksaw or similar. You could just pull the ends and replace the limit caps

Dropped kerb planning rejected due to RPA
spudulike replied to Gajendra's topic in Trees and the Law
It is possible your neighbour didn't get planning permission to do his...stranger things have happened and some think planning for tree work etc somehow doesn't apply to them....or is it just round here Did you send pics to the planning department? They may have just got the wrong idea or just can't be arsed to look at the job in detail. If your neighbour has done his with planning, a precedence has been set and that usually means you should get planning permission. A polite appeal with images of the area and a plan drawn out with the positioning of drives, boundary and trees may help them rationalize. -
Looks like the Scorpion fish we would catch of the rocks as kids....ugly fecker!!

Possibly....he works in mysterious ways!

I believe that Father Christmas, the Christmas Fairies and the Reindeers have left Stihl and taken residence at Husqvarna Sweden hence the very positive result. I also believe that one of Santas helpers is a member on here Good result and thanks for the update.

At two weeks old, a good call....they may just replace the oil pick up pipe and send it back....it will be a warranty repair if found to be faulty.

Use a rattle gun, a big one!

The Chipper is on eBay as well and the guy has photographed his van number plate on both listings. It is a white transit....either he is a none too smart scammer, it is a fake plate or is legit. Payment is cash on collection....you may get the chipper but it may be stolen!
-
George Browns is down south, strange for a Yorkshire based chipper....give the dealer a bell about it?
-
If it isn't under warranty, the leak will be from around the oil pickup pipe where it pushes through the oil tank wall. I usually put a small O ring on the union, degrease the area with brake cleaner, wipe a little liquid gasket around the pipe union and refit and then once the oil pump is in place, fit a small square of foam located over the top of the pickup pipe so the stainless plate pushes on it thus improving the seal. That usually does it!

Here's one for you Andy, you are old enough to appreciate it.....and I know it is a Dean and not a Flying V but pretty similar in looks: -
-
That's what you call learning, a sh$t or bust fix, at least you gave it a go!
-
When you say "non replaceable".....how non replaceable is it? How about soldering in a fuse holder....?? I know what I would do
-
Been watching this lot a bit and have to say they do some pretty tidy covers. I do like the guitar riff on this Boston classic.

We are the opposite, we digest most wines a bit too well
-
No, change it each time a chain is replaced as it balances the wear on the bar. Worth doing in my book.
