Hi all yesterday I failed a wof at vtnz on wheels and tyres that passed there the year before apparently they are to big for the vehicle so I went to BROWNS BAY TYRES who did a calculation and they were fine.

To remedy the problem he lent me a set of standard wheels to pass the wof. After it passed I explained that the inspectors calculations where wrong his response thanks for letting me know. Don't go to vtnz Albany but anything to do with tyres definitely go and see the 2 guys at Browns Bay tyres.

Dear Neighbours,
I was wondering whether you've ever got a high water bill and you were certain that consumption didn't happen. What have you done in that case?

I was wondering whether you've ever got a high water bill and you were certain that consumption didn't happen. What have you done in that case?
Our 3 people family average waterconsumption is about 250liters/day, for the May-June period we've got a bill for 2500liters/day!!!!! $377! We've checked the metre is read correctly, and there is no current waterleak.
The metre is 40 years old. And we were shocked to see that bill, while knowing we were at home with no changes whatsoever in our consumption. We were not watering anything...
Have you had experience like this before? What did you do?
Thanks,
Peter

Events include swimming, bowls, cycling, relay walking and Quiznastics. To up the ante, we’ve incorporated technology solutions to enhance events and to enable residents to connect with all 41 Ryman villages, including those across the Tasman, while they compete!

What was your best purchase on an online marketplace, like Trade Me or Neighbourly?
A 1950s aircraft fuselage could be yours after a Waiuku resident listed their "old warbird" on Trade Me.
The Royal New Zealand Bristol Freighter flew as part of the Royal New Zealand Air Force during the Vietnam War. It was then purchased and shipped to Whenuapai-Ardmore in 1978 and then sold on to a Waiuku local. The sellers purchased the land at a later date, and thus the plane.
The listing starts at $18,000 and at time of publishing, has been added to almost 900 users' watchlists.
