The Government has proposed a sweeping fuel-efficient vehicle policy that would make some cars up to $8000 cheaper - while others would be $3000 more expensive.

The "feebate" scheme wouldn't cost the taxpayer anything, instead using money gained by putting a fee on imported high-emissions cars in order to make imported hybrids, electric cars, and other efficient vehicles cheaper with a subsidy.

Any good solderers out there ?

Graeme from Frankton

Hi , I have several Mercedes , and one of them has 'lost' the LCD data panel in the middle of the speedo .

I have purchased another LCD panel from Germany , it has 16 or 18 connectors across the bottom of the ribbon ( maybe 40mm across in total ) that need soldering . I've taken the speedo out ( I bought the 'correct' hooks ) and even have a basic soldering iron ( around $20 at Jaycar from memory -- so not temperature adjustable or anything ) but I don't want to wreck the speedo .
I understand Gallaghers do fine soldering , but presumably only their own components , and TV's and the like seem throw-away these days -- is there anyone with the skills who is keen to try -- a business or someone at home . I doubt it would take too long , and happy to pay , so if anyones keen , give me a holler -- message me or text or call 0274 939 000 . Thanks

How are cities around the world leading the way in becoming more sustainable, and what lessons are there for Hamilton? What are the key actions Hamilton can take right now to respond to the challenge of climate change and become a more resilient city?


Phil Grey – Free FM

Hamiltonian of 23 years, a community midwife who has delivered over 1000 babies, was motivated to embark on this journey to ‘give back to the community’ when Community Midwifery is struggling to gain adequate support from Government resources. In my previous Tron-life I enjoyed extensive travelling, hiking, & participating in international expeditions such as the British ‘Operation Raleigh’, and ‘The Great Jukung Race’(2500km seafearing adventure in a primitive boat). This expedition was an opportunity to mix adventure with a purpose within an international community of Pilgrims.
