Common jobs for Levin drivers
Market garden utes towing produce trailers on sandy, wet ground and dairy farm utes from the plains are the mainstay. Hilux, Ranger, Colorado and D-Max rear ends would be the common swaps, with commuter cars adding the occasional Commodore rear diff. For the growers, a ute off the road in season is costly, so the one visit exchange fit is the practical option.
Any mechanic in Levin 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 Levin
I am on a rural address outside Levin. 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 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.
