Common jobs for Tauranga drivers
The Tauranga fleet is a mix of orchard utes coming in for service, port and trade vehicles, and a large number of weekend boat towers launching at Sulphur Point or the Mount. Ranger, Hilux and Colorado rear diffs that have dealt with both the orchard rows and the boat ramp are the common swap, and Commodore rear ends are still around in numbers. Salt water exposure makes pinion seal leaks a frequent early warning.
Any mechanic in Tauranga can fit an exchange diff head. The unit arrives with fitting notes, the ratio tagged on the housing and the oil specification, and the team in Christchurch is on the phone to your workshop if anything about the model needs checking. For a repair to your own unit rather than an exchange, the diff travels to Christchurch on the courier and back, freight free, while the vehicle stays with your local workshop.
Ordering from Tauranga
Which courier delivers to Tauranga?
Diff heads go on the national overnight courier networks, so the driver who turns up is whichever contractor covers your address. Complete beam axles are too heavy for that and travel with Move Logistics, quoted first.
Can I go to an LSD at the same time?
Often, yes. Many exchange units are stocked in both open and LSD form, so the swap can be an upgrade as well as a repair. Tell the team what the vehicle does for a living and they will say whether it is worth it.
