This stopped working - to be precise, runs for less than 5 mins then cuts out (believe is the thermal cut-out?). Had it checked out at K'A'RCHER in Lower Hutt and it isn't repairable :(
Would it be useful to anyone for parts? Otherwise it will be in the bin next Friday.
Please PM … View moreThis stopped working - to be precise, runs for less than 5 mins then cuts out (believe is the thermal cut-out?). Had it checked out at K'A'RCHER in Lower Hutt and it isn't repairable :(

“The new park is going to be a great asset for all dog owners right across Lower Hutt. It’s fantastic to celebrate this milestone, particularly with the Waiu Dog Park Committee who have been working hard behind the scenes,” says Campbell Barry.

Toxic algae blooms and elevated levels of E. Coli are prompting warnings from Land Air Water Aotearoa (LAWA), which provides updates on 125 spots in the Wellington region.
On Tuesday morning, according to LAWA, 16 of 20 popular river spots in the region were unsuitable for swimming, and caution was advised for the remaining four due to large amounts of E. Coli bacteria and toxic algae blooms.
Toxic algae and E. Coli both cause gastrointestinal illness and infections, with symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.

In Tuesday’s crash, the car entered the motorway and headed south after turning right from Cornish St in Petone. Cornish St is a one-lane, one-way side street used as a turnoff from State Highway 2 for northbound cars heading to the Lower Hutt suburb of Korokoro. Multiple signs warn motorists not to enter the highway from there.
