Exchange diffs and diff repairs for Rangiora
Rangiora is the Waimakariri district's main town, about half an hour north of the workshop off SH1, with Kaiapoi between it and the city and the North Canterbury farms and lifestyle blocks spreading out to Oxford and the Ashley. Town addresses are typically next working day from Sydenham, and many drivers come in to Byron Street for a fitted swap.

Common jobs for Rangiora drivers
North Canterbury farming and lifestyle blocks make Rangiora a ute town. Hilux, Ranger, Colorado and D-Max rear ends that have towed horse floats, stock trailers and firewood, plus the Navara and Land Cruiser from the bigger properties. The team can fit the unit in Sydenham, or a Rangiora workshop can do it with the exchange diff couriered up the day before.
Any mechanic in Rangiora 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 Rangiora
Do I have to bring the vehicle to Christchurch?
No. For an exchange diff you never need to leave Rangiora. Repairs to your own unit are done in the Christchurch workshop, so for those the diff travels on the courier, not the vehicle.
I am on a rural address outside Rangiora. Does that change anything?
Rural delivery usually adds a working day each way, and the courier needs a clear pickup point for the old unit on the way back. Tell the team the address is rural when you order and the freight is booked to suit.
