Hi neighbours, do you love Kmart?
Hundreds of thousands of inexpensive items that pass through the retail giant's checkouts every year, so it's only to be expected there will be recalls – Kmart even has a recalls page on its website, and there are 31 products on the list.

Hundreds of thousands of inexpensive items that pass through the retail giant's checkouts every year, so it's only to be expected there will be recalls – Kmart even has a recalls page on its website, and there are 31 products on the list.
The $55 timber Occasional Chair is the latest casualty, although this is a withdrawal rather than a recall. We don't know the reason for its withdrawal, except Kmart says it is for "a potential quality issue". But what other products have been found wanting?

A truck that decided to overtake a truck-and-trailer unit on a hill on SH1 south of Warkworth narrowly missed colliding with a bus on Monday afternoon. A woman can be heard in video footage of the dangerous manoeuvre saying: "They're going to do a head-on." The offending truck cut off the truck-and-trailer, causing the driver to break so hard the vehicle stalled, causing delays for those caught behind. There was a passing lane less than 400m after where the incident took place.
Reports of dangerous or unsafe driving can be made by calling *555.

“Darren’s skills in managing every aspect of a home build means that he is able to deliver quality homes at very competitive prices within much shorter time frames than many of our competitors,” says Stephen.
“I am excited to lead the company into the next phase.” Darren says. “Effectively it is business as usual. We will continue to build Never Ordinary homes that our clients will love to live in.”
Hi Neighbours, It's three months to local body elections and we are waiting to hear with John Banks will contest the mayoralty. If he does, it would mean three former parliamentarians among the choice for mayor. Would that make you more likely to vote? Read my opinion piece below.

First NZ owner of this car.
Safety features include:
- 5 airbags
- ABS
- power steering
- Subaru's famous all wheel drive system
It's incredibly practical due to its length and width, and you can easily fit surf boards and/or bikes in the back.
The car is currently fitted with two STI (Subaru's performance division) dual tip mufflers, making the car sound a bit deeper, however not irritatingly loud. the difference is more or less unnoticeable when driving.
The car also has a full set of Bilstein shocks which I believe are from a Legacy spec B model. These were fitted by the previous Japanese owner. They provide a slightly stiffer ride, allowing the car to handle smoothly and sharply with minimal body roll. Not to be confused with racing springs - you won't need a back operation after a long drive.
- Car was serviced about 3 months ago.
- Wof till 2020
Cons:
- Car was built in 2007 and it has been driven, it does have scratches although the paint still looks shiny and presentable after a nice wash!
- It has a few minuscule dings (see pics)
- curbing
- minor interior faults
Will consider offers within reason.
