Common jobs for Hawera drivers
This is pure dairy ute territory. Hilux, Ranger, D-Max and Navara rear ends that have towed calf trailers, feed and fencing gear across wet paddocks and down races every day of the year. Low speed, high load running wears the carrier gears and, with enough mud and water about, gets past the seals and into the bearings. A diff that clunks on take off has usually been telling its owner for a while.
Any mechanic in Hawera 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 Hawera
I am on a rural address outside Hawera. 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 Hawera?
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.
