Exchange diffs and diff repairs for Wanaka
Wanaka is an hour over the Crown Range or round via Cromwell from Queenstown, on the lake of the same name with the Haast Pass road leaving for the West Coast and the Cardrona and Treble Cone ski roads above the town.

Common jobs for Wanaka drivers
Ski roads and station tracks are the Wanaka pattern. Land Cruiser and Hilux front and rear diffs from 4WDs that run the Cardrona and Treble Cone access roads in winter and the Matukituki and Makarora tracks in summer, and Ranger and Colorado utes from the trades building the town. Grit and snowmelt get past seals on these roads, and a front diff that has been through a river is worth checking.
Any mechanic in Wanaka 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 Wanaka
Can my local mechanic in Wanaka 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.
How do I know which ratio I have?
The rego usually tells us. Failing that, most housings carry a ratio tag, or you can count turns using the method in the ratio guide and the team will confirm it.
