Michael Neilson’s hot water cylinder failed due to chlorine added to Christchurch's water – and he now wants the city council to foot the $2000 bill.

Cam belt Replacement with a service.
Cam belts are an essential part to be replaced between 80K and 130K depending on what car you drive.
If cam belts are not replaced and it snaps you could possibly be replacing your engine or sending your car of to the wreckers sadly 🙁
Some cars are pretty straight forward but some cars you will need special tools to do the job correctly like this cam belt job I did today 🙂
Doing a cam belt job I always replace the idlers, tension, seals and in most cases the water pump.
After doing the cam belt a service was also done.
As with any service I prefer to use high grade filters, oil and follow all specifications on any job I do :)

All Services and Repairs can be done at your home or work place :)

Driveways driven away by new rule

The Team Reporter from Stuff

Hi neighbours,

A move to free up more land for new builds is likely to see fewer driveways and garages in modern housing, in a move some say could have New Zealand looking like Coronation Street.

Councils across the country must scrap planning rules that require car parks to be put down near new housing or business developments, under newly released housing guidelines.

The change comes as the Government looks to encourage development, in part by freeing up land held up by car parks, under its new National Policy Statement for urban development.

Property developer Phil Robinson said scrapping car park rules was a “big change”, but he was unsure if it was a “big win”.

What do you think of having more new builds in your area with fewer driveways and garages?
