Common jobs for Napier drivers
Napier work is a blend of port and trade vehicles, the Marine Parade boat towing crowd, and cars that have done big mileage on the Plains. Commodore and Falcon rear ends still turn up regularly, alongside Ranger and Hilux utes that tow boats and trailers. Pinion bearing whine that rises with road speed is the most common complaint we hear from this kind of mixed use.
Any mechanic in Napier 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 Napier
Can you quote before I order?
Yes. Send the rego and a line about the noise or fault through the enquiry form and the team confirms the right unit and the price, core charge included, before you commit to anything.
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.
