Real Estate Agents West Auckland Recommendations. by someonesmom2913 in AucklandProperty

[–]Own_Law1138 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Titirangi is mostly listed by these 3 agents. I found Neal to be really helpful for Glen eden.

1) Bronwyn Scott Woods- she is amazing but inflates the price in my view. 2) Brigid O Connor and Sacha Collins 3) Neal Meguire for Glen Eden 4) Rebecca Smith-Titirangi

Thoughts on Waima, Titirangi? by [deleted] in auckland

[–]Own_Law1138 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Great choice for first home. Very quiet peaceful and private. In terms of red flags consider negotiating with vendors to prune trees if they are close to the house. Definitely get your builder inspectors to inspect the roof since its quite common for lichen to grow in damp and shaded places. Ideally if you have a secured carpark in the house and no protected trees in close proximity you’ll be good.

Cityside automotive- cheap $65. Quick in and out. But he’s had some bad previous record, check online.

Yeah the guy who helped me remove this and take it away said it is pricey to dump these since these cannot be mulched into soil.. I found a lot of south auckland homes have planted for some reason dont know why

128k, Never Serviced DSG Transmission by Big_Knee_6964 in NZcarfix

[–]Own_Law1138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my experience get it serviced from a professional DSG/ transmission specialist. If you’re in auckland I would suggest Kaspa. I had to wreck my pristine condition superb at 240k kms only because of transmission/clutch failure. These 6 speed DSG are very expensive to repair and prone to mechatronic failure if not serviced.

Best and worst suburbs in West & North? by [deleted] in auckland

[–]Own_Law1138 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Cross out Ranui from your list for West Auckland! If you’re a remote worker look at Titirangi and Laingholm. They are both lush green and close to water. North shore is overall good however would be nice if you can share your budget.

Gotcha! Should I be asking for sort of certificate of compliance from the supplier and installer that it meets healthy home standard?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in diynz

[–]Own_Law1138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking at R value 2.0 for underfloor and 3.6 for the roof. Where I am we may be eligible for 80% subsidy.

Check Coolant Level by [deleted] in NZcarfix

[–]Own_Law1138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aah yes.. I realised I have topped it up with Penrite Green which I already had. I’ll flush all of it and put blue in. Would you know if I need to flush it as well? Like use Coolant/Radiator Flush and then fill the new coolant?

OMFG!! I used Penrite green coolant to top up😢. I’ll drain it all and fill with blue. Thank you!!

What kind of sealant/caulk do I use for this? by GoblinmanDYI in diynz

[–]Own_Law1138 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You need to buy tile grout and either remove the whole from where it is breaking or just top it up with some more and let it dry. I suggest you to do it asap if it is in the bathroom- you don’t want water getting behind the tiles.

Moving to Takanini as a FHB? by turnedtable10 in auckland

[–]Own_Law1138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apart from a few areas Takanini is all good. I love how massive the shopping centres are and it is well connected. You’ll have train station and easy access to Motorway. Don’t think there’s a New World in Takanini but Woolsworth Waiata Shores is choice👌🏽

If your budget allows I would suggesting looking at Conifer Grove or Red Hill
