    Service Costs help

    The wife has put a few scratches and dings on the car already, so its another reason why I wonder if FFSH is now worth it or of we should look elsewhere. (Women drivers i tell you, lol /s) Recommendations? Bosch garage on Beyers? GP Autoworks by Malibongwe? We moved to the area here a couple...

    Service Costs help

    Hey Folks. So the wife drives a 2018 Honda HRV 1.5 comfort CVT. Mileage is currently on 93k and is due for its annual service - 105k interval. The last service done at Honda Weltevreden, was the major at R8400. The 105k is not a major, but they say it'll cost over R9k. When I asked why the...

    Getting to eBucks Level 5 with the new rules

    So I imagine some of us are going to fall short of the 10k point limit now, an need to find ways to make up the difference to stay on lvl 5. I see in the original link https://mybroadband.co.za/news/banking/597772-how-to-hit-ebucks-level-5-with-new-rules.html that a "Revolving Facility"...

    Tips to Boost your eBucks - 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2026

    I went to my local wimpy the other day. They said the R50 vouchers weren't working on their system so I'd have to pay full price if I placed the order. Haven't been back yet to check if it's working now.

    Tips to Boost your eBucks - 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2026

    Not sure TBH. I was using the online calculator so was a bit confused. I plan to comment this weekend on my methods for ebucks etc, cos there are still some things I don't understand fully. Figure as a collective, my ideas might help others and vice versa, if im not just doing the obvious...

    Tips to Boost your eBucks - 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2026

    This is what I understand it to be and what i did my math on. Hence why im confused about the eB calculator after I logged in, per my screen shot, saying R1700... Regarding my complaint: agree on futility... although being new, i don't exactly understand how the process works and figured they...

    Tips to Boost your eBucks - 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2026

    I am, too. I spent R2750 at PnP on 28 June. It reflected in my account on Monday 30 Jun. Went into my branch and they found that PnP only banked the payment (wtf?) on Tuesday 01 July, so my spend is now allocated to July... Therefore, when I buy groceries next week Saturday, I will breach...

    Galvanised Pipe Replacement

    Interesting. Essentially, my whole house needs new pipes, save for the ensuite bath thats 15mm copper. I've today stripped the ensuite shower walls and vanity and see that in this room, the main cold water pipe to the vanity is rotten, but hot water seems OK. Everything else is galvanised...

    Galvanised Pipe Replacement

    I'm interested in knowing more, lol. I assume that my insurance would laugh at me if I had a pipe leak due to maintenance or some **** not being done if they see the pipes in their current state. Still won't deliberately buy class 0 pipes lol. How was this determined in you case? Surface...

    Galvanised Pipe Replacement

    This goes against my very nature and I wouldn't be able to live with myself knowing I half assed it. I'm fortunate enough to have enough skill to do this myself thanks to my trade background and prior work experiences. Plumbing team coming in to re plumb a house is big $$. I live by doing...

    Galvanised Pipe Replacement

    I don't have much experience in PEX pipe although I did consider it due to the obvious cost implication & no soldering required for bends. Just a bit sketch about the females that need to be at the outlets for taps and such to connect to. I'd rather have a soldered, solid fitting there than a...

    Galvanised Pipe Replacement

    Thank you. I didn't know that corrosion came from the water internally. I was under the impression that it was due to it reacting with the cement itself over time - similar to galvanised only not as severe. Nor did I think that the different classes would have much impact, apart from the...

    Galvanised Pipe Replacement

    Hey folks. So i knew I needed to replace the Galv. Piping at some stage... I just didn't know how immediately soon that would need to be until I got inquisitive after seeing some guest bathroom wall tiles lifting. Attached is what I found underneath... my main hot water exit from the geyser...
