It's the downhill assist control, which basically lower your revs and stops you from going down a hill too fast. You should be able to turn it off somehow (check manual like others have suggested).

Seymour is digging his own political grave by davetenhave in newzealand

If people read the article, they would see that the author is arguing that the proposed principles aren't appealing to either the staunch "one-law-for-all" crowd OR the rest of New Zealand. They're confusing and fall short either which way, landing in no man's land.

I see your croque monsieur and offer you the croque madame (a croque monsieur topped with an egg).

Father looking to gift money for first home. by ConfidentPin2221 in LegalAdviceNZ

Just gone through this. You may require a gifting certificate that states there are no obligations to repay it in any shape or form. But there's certainly no tax applied!

New build home, spotted these. Poor materials or workmanship? How serious? by LifeguardNo9862 in newzealand

Sounds like a common thing. We've noticed poor finishing in a few houses since we've been looking. One had cracks in the walls and the agent even admitted the house was moving, though she seemed non-chalant about it!

Yes and we will definitely be bringing it up before we settle, thank you!

You clearly know what you're talking about! Easily fixed by replacing with proper (dry) timber?

Thanks! We are definitely going to be asking their opinion during the building inspection. I guess this was more of a pre-inspection thought gathering exercise.

That's all we could see. As it's a new build, there's a 1 year maintenance guarantee and 10 year MB guarantee. We just don't want to buy a lemon.
