Common jobs for Hokitika drivers
Dairy farm utes and bush 4WDs are the Hokitika pattern. Hilux, Ranger and D-Max rear ends that have towed in the wet all year, and Land Cruiser and Hilux front diffs on the vehicles that work the river tracks and the Haast road. The Hokitika workshops listed on the West Coast page inspect and fit for us regularly, so a repair or an exchange can be done without the vehicle leaving town.
Any mechanic in Hokitika 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 Hokitika
Can my local mechanic in Hokitika 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.
What oil goes in it?
The specified Redline gear oil, which is what the warranty is written around. It can be added to the order so it arrives in the same box as the diff.
