Common jobs for Hastings drivers
Orchard and vineyard utes towing bins and spray gear down wet rows all season put a lot of low speed load through a rear diff, and the hill country farm wagons come into town with the same complaints after years of metal roads. Hilux, Ranger, D-Max and Colorado rear ends would be the common swaps, with Land Cruiser units from the bigger stations.
Any mechanic in Hastings 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 Hastings
I am on a rural address outside Hastings. 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.
Can my local mechanic in Hastings fit it?
Yes. Any workshop can fit an exchange head. Fitting notes come with the unit and the team will talk to your mechanic directly if anything about the model is unusual.
