2004 KZ-TE Rear Diff

Post by TAG »

Hi Guys

I hope that someone here would be able to help. My 2004 KZ-Te with an imported rear diff seems to be showing it's age. The warning light have started coming on, and the local mechanic is off the impression that the whole rear diff will need to be replaced. According to him it will be a measly R12K to do the job. Is there any reputable Hilux mechanic in and around Randburg or Joburg area that I can take it too for a second opinion or that might get the thing fixed?
