Common jobs for Whanganui drivers
Hill country farming shapes the diff work here. Hilux and Land Cruiser front and rear units that have spent years on metal, Ranger and D-Max utes towing stock trailers, and the odd Navara from the lifestyle blocks around the city. The river road and the back country tracks are hard on pinion seals, and a leak left alone eventually takes the bearings with it.
Any mechanic in Whanganui 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 Whanganui
I am on a rural address outside Whanganui. 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 Whanganui 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.
