Exchange diffs and diff repairs for Masterton

Masterton is the Wairarapa's main town, over the Remutaka Hill from Wellington on SH2, in sheep and beef country that runs from the Tararua foothills to the east coast. The town is a standard courier run; most of the surrounding district is rural delivery and should allow an extra working day.

Farm and rural utes

Common jobs for Masterton drivers

Hill country farming is the story in the Wairarapa. Hilux and Land Cruiser units that have done years on metal roads and farm tracks, Ranger and D-Max utes that tow stock trailers, and the Navara from the vineyards around Martinborough. Open and LSD exchange units are stocked for all of them, and for a farm ute that spends its life in the mud the LSD option is worth a conversation.

Any mechanic in Masterton 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 Masterton

I am on a rural address outside Masterton. 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 I go to an LSD at the same time?

Often, yes. Many exchange units are stocked in both open and LSD form, so the swap can be an upgrade as well as a repair. Tell the team what the vehicle does for a living and they will say whether it is worth it.
