Sadly ... there is no universal laptop (computer) power/charging cable 

If you can't get to a computer shop, you need to Google the make and model number (it will be on a label on the underside of the computer) and the Google search should throw up a suitable cable. You could also type in that info into eBay and see what turns up.

Very much depends on the manufacturer. Some use 12 volt, some 18 volt and some Panasonic ToughBooks run on 24 Volt and I'm afraid that most of the adapters are different with different plugs as well. One area where the EU has made progress is in insisting on standardising these things, but on a Windows 8 laptop, it could be anything.

Start by looking on the back. It should have the make and model and also the required supply voltage. You are probably most likely to find one on eBay.

Hi,

Sorry to go OT, but as I mentioned well over a year ago, when I changed to W10, it became extremely difficult (for me) to send/receive Emails. My USERNAME had to contain, I think, about 10 mixed characters.

I've learned to live without.

I've just found a W8 (I think) lap-top, lurking in a drawer, that I am hoping will accommodate my pre-dawn architectural doodles ... and just possibly ... emails.

Problem! I no longer have it's power cable (cord).   I am reluctant to swap my single cable between my two lap-tops. High tech things are out to get me

Question ... POWER CORDS abound on EBAY at about £12 to £15. Can I assume that they are all interchangeable? And do I need to concern myself with their wattage? The price difference is negligible.

I think there is a PC WORLD in Milton Keynes, but my knees are not up to walking any more ... a four inch high kerb requires me to hang  onto something like a lamp post. Similarly, I am not able to climb into the rear seats of a  taxi, (and that might include the front passenger seat ... I haven't tried).

On Monday,  I had a consultation with an orthopaedic surgeon, over the phone.

A social worker, visting Barbara,  suggested that I may be elligible for a grant for a "sooper dooper pooper scooper" (a fully automatic "wash, wipe and dry" WC, occasionally mentioned on TV's "DIY SOS" program. OK, you didn't want to know that).

Yes indeed Peter, my pleasure. Not that I'm very familiar with Series 1 nomenclature, but I'm theory it should be as straightforward

Gets my vote already lol 

James could you look up my series 1 80" chassis no R860147

Thanks

Peter

I've been making regular trips to the fount of production records at Gaydon, adding to, filling in gaps and correcting conflicting or erroneous entries in the Club Database of vehicles. I've also been helping new members with factory record queries and now I'm past the main hump of work, thought I'd extend this offer to forum users.

If anyone would like me to look up their sII, IIa, IIb, LWT, 1 Ton etc truck(s), even sIII, please let me know the chassis number(s) and I'll add to the list. Info available from Gaydon includes date of build and despatch, colour it left the factory and first destination - all the stuff that gets incorporated into the Heritage Certificate basically.

Just reply here, send me a Direct Message or email me at [email protected]. Ideally it would be good to add your engine number too, location attached.

Cheers

Both out together

I've received a message via the club's Instagram page about a potential photo shoot that requires a local Series 2   

Message is below, and it's from a legitimate photography company with over 1,000 followers. If it's of any interest, let me know and I'll put you in contact:

"Hello, Do you have any members that are based in Scotland? I'm looking for a Series 2 for a high end fashion photo shoot on 21st May in Argyll. Would love to put a call out to any Scottish Based owners who  might be interested. A fee will be paid for a few hours of their time. Thank you, Amelia"

If you can get it and the necessary repair panels up to Glasgow I'll be happy to weld it up. No where near concours /show standard but structuraly sound. Cheers Nathan
