What are the formalities after having changed the engine of my car?

I have changed my car engine and now have to go for fitness at SGS Curepipe. Can they do all formalities there or do I have to go to NTA Port Louis to change the Horsepower first?

Tips on meeting new friends and/or going in potential dates.

I(F in her early 20s) would love to know how do people generally make new friends or go on dates in their 20s in Mauritius (except social media, batch mates Or colleagues)

I’ve been looking to expand my social circle recently or even go on dates. But it seems nearly impossible.

Info about me:

  1. I’m a bit introvert at first but once I get comfortable I will be open to any conversation

  2. Only day-time activities, if you guys are suggesting any (I have strict parents)

Open to all suggestions. Thank you🤝

Do you have any idea when the fuel price will go down?

Tile is pretty self explanatory, I think we are all waiting for the fuel price to go down. Anyone knows when it's supposed to go down?

Are their on demand (uber type) taxi services in Mauritius?

We're a large group (7 adults, 2 kids). I know about self driving options but will prefer with driver.

Best thing is that instead of hiring for whole day - we can get on demand taxi options. Minivan will be even better.

Thanks

Edit: is a tour operator needed?

Eski normal voisin jette saltey konstruction dan mo lakour? Ki bizin faire?

Hi all I just completed constructing my house and moved in. It is stilll gray outside and outdoor parts are overgrown with plants. I did a massive cleanup to remove nails, broken bricks etc from the land post construction.

I recently realised that 2 neighnours out of 4 are throwing their wastes for a better term in my property. Even making workers use my property to acces the back of their house for renovation without my permission when I am not present.

The two neighbour houses are already there since ages and they did renovation. But they seem to be dumping broken window, broken tiles, unused plastic pipes and other waste stuff in my property. Which I know should not be there after the massive cleanup I made post construction.

I already talk to them and they claim that they did not know and that it was the workers that did this.

Is that normal? How to prevent or what actions can i take? I am kind of fed up with this but dont want to strain relations with neighbour and i have two kids that I dont want hurt with those more dangerous wastes like broken glasses or broken plastic pipes some with sharp edges

Thnks

Anyone have experience with Fatimah Ghanty psychologist? Any idea about her rates?

Hi all, as title says. I'm looking for help possibly diagnosing some sort of neurodivergence (hopeless in mru tbh), don't wanna self diagnose, looking for a professional who doesn't immediately put me on meds.

Also kinda lost in general about my future and career path, desperately need someone to talk to.

She seems promising, does anyone actually recommend her and what are her rates on average please?

Is it against the rules of this sub to post things related to r/MauriceMauritius ?

This is a valid question regarding the freedom of expression on this sub.

Will the mods block posts related to r/MauriceMauritius , a decidedly freer promoting wider discussion around issues surrounding Maurice / Mauritius?

Can I renew my car insurance and hence my motor vehicle licensing(road tax) 2 days late?

I already have my fitness. I had to pay my insurance today but they sent me a huge quote for a third party coverage. Turns out they sent me a quote for comprensive coverage while they were offering third larty coverage in the contract. So I backed out to think a bit and got caught up at work and tomorrow is the day, on a Saturday.

As the title suggests, I have minimal basis in creole but cam understand it somewhat, looking for a teacher to assist in learning conversational creole, or group classes that are affordable and available to resident non-citizens.

Where can I buy old mobile phones in the country??

I was told buying online isnt possible as the people in Port-Louis wouldn't let the products be posted to my village. Besides, I can't find websites that would ship to mauritius. So, i was looking for local shops that would sell them as the main sellers only have newer phones in stock. I can't access facebook marketplace for some reason, so that option is crossed out.

Does anyone have a list of all gaming shops? I'm trying to find the best deal on a Playstation VR2

So far I have:

  • Media Space
  • Shalim Shop
  • IQON (best quoted price so far at Rs 24,500)
  • Cellbest
  • 101 Multimedia

I am looking to call those outlets to ask for a quotation as many places only sell the PSVR2 on order and don't have it in stock.

I need feedback on the MoDelo home water filter, the one who goes under your sink

Hey guys! So i am looking into getting a water filter after starting to fall sick drinking tap water. I saw an ad for MoDelo where it is like 3 times cheaper. Anyone use the MoDelo water filter and can give me their opinion? Also anyone have the water filter which is put just after the meter? That also seems like an interesting option.
