Common jobs for Richmond drivers
Richmond workshops see a bit of everything: orchard utes from the Waimea Plains, trade vehicles, Nelson commuters and the forestry 4WDs that come down off the Richmond Ranges. Hilux, Ranger and Colorado rear diffs would be the common swaps, with Land Cruiser units from the forestry blocks and the odd Commodore rear end. One to two working days from Christchurch means the unit is often there before the vehicle is booked in.
Any mechanic in Richmond 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 Richmond
Can my local mechanic in Richmond 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.
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.
