Toast 117 Report post Posted August 30, 2015 Any wriggle room if you use environmentally friendly products?It's also the issue of washing silt into riverways, it seems mundane but when every person washes their car on Saturday it has quite the inflow effect. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
huff3r 347 Report post Posted August 31, 2015 Any wriggle room if you use environmentally friendly products? Nope, and it actually even applies to washing houses, or anything else in your driveway. The bylaw is against contaminants entering the stormwater. Using enviro friendly products apperently "won't stop the oils and heavy metals washing into the stormwater" Guess you aren't allowed to park outside when it rains too then right?

KwS 2425 Report post Posted August 31, 2015 It's also the issue of washing silt into riverways, it seems mundane but when every person washes their car on Saturday it has quite the inflow effect. Its mostly about contaminants (oil, grease, wax, detergent etc), not silt. I guess the council has never seen what washes off the road surface on the first rain after a dry period. http://www.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/news/71540950/porirua-council-embraces-car-wash-ban-backlash-as-a-chance-to-educate Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

M3AN 4016 Report post Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) You can programme the intermittent speed in the E36... let me find the instructions... You might need to replace the wiper control module (I didn't need to). Edited August 31, 2015 by M3AN 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

B.M.W Ltd 950 Report post Posted September 15, 2015 (edited) What am I doing in at work at 3.30 am on a Wednesday morning ?? - looking for the expensive optical cable for the new UHD TV and sound system being delivered today. I purchased all the new cables 2 weeks ago when I ordered the TV & sounds. Removed all the old home theater, DVD player and VHS unit and cables and got the lounge all prepared for the new gear. Unpacked all the cables and the new type surge box and threw all the "empty" boxes in the bad bin at work last week------found the bitch under about 2 weeks worth of rubbish. There is probably a word that would describe this. I'm not sure if this should be a rant or the funny story for the week. Looks like RCA cables are redundant now. Just optical, HDMI, Bluetooth & Wifi. It gets expensive when you just intended to upgrade one item. A bit like stripping a car to do a water pump and end up doing water pump, thermostat, radiator, expansion tank and hoses. ....... any way Harvey Norman loves me Edited September 15, 2015 by B.M.W Ltd 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Driftit 2078 Report post Posted September 15, 2015 Just got me a new TV and sound system too Glenn. Just one cable to connect them. New HDMI 2.0 cable and away she went. New couch arrived yesterday too. Really killing any motivation to be in the garage though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michael. 2313 Report post Posted September 17, 2015 Trade Me user not allowing me to pick up a couple of CDs, instead he posts them with El-cheapo $2.75 post, they get lost and I never receive them. He raves on with excuses and then files for lost items via NZ posts. After weeks and weeks of dialuge still nothing. Two months later NZ post isn't doing anything as hes fed them some sort of lies about it being found, even though I never got them. The seller has also declined to reimburse me in any way, not even with CDs of a similar value. I just found today he has blacklisted me from his other auctions. What does that say about his integrity - he just thinks I've got them and have tried to lie so I can get my money back. I've just filed a Trade ME non delivered item report, probably wont do much, but we shall see..... The two CDs were only $28.51 including shipping but its not the point, the sellers "In Trade" with 3000+ feedbacks yet is unwilling to help when his non tracked shipping fails to deliver them. It's more the principle of resolving the situation, I don't care for the CDs or money but the fact the seller thinks he can just move on is what annoys me. I'll keep poking at this until I get a result. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
