Exchange diffs and diff repairs for Alexandra
Alexandra is the Central Otago town on SH8 between Cromwell and Roxburgh, in the dry, rocky heart of the district with orchards and vineyards on the river flats and merino stations in the hills. It is a long way from anywhere, but typically one to two working days from the workshop on the courier. Orchards and stations are rural delivery, so allow an extra day.

Common jobs for Alexandra drivers
Orchard utes on the Clutha flats and station 4WDs on the Central Otago gravel are what we would expect from Alexandra. Hilux, Ranger and Navara rear ends that tow bins and spray gear, and Land Cruiser and Hilux front and rear units from the high country and the Old Dunstan Road. The dust here is as hard on seals as mud is elsewhere, and a dry seal eventually lets the oil out.
Any mechanic in Alexandra 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 Alexandra
I am on a rural address outside Alexandra. 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.
How do I get the old diff back to you from Alexandra?
Drain the oil, put the old unit in the box the new one came in, tape the return label on and the courier collects it from the address you give us. There is nothing for you to book or pay.
