Nice pic came up in that search:
-
I read on an American 4x4 site where they said to draw a chalk line across the tyre tread - and go for a drive.. Then use the way it wears to tune your pressures.
-
The site search function only seems to go back to when the software had a big update.
A search on Google with something like : site:lr4x4.com landy andy td5 ecu pedal
Should bring something more up - though the words may need changing for better results.
-
I might try and come - how much time do you need to look round everything ?
Im thinking of the there and back journey time.
-
Just for the record - Was the wiring you posted up there Andy right then ?
-
Would these fit a later push button door ?
-
... and some silicone around the end of the motor when you Refit it to keep the water out.
Mo
I wasn't sure if it was OK to seal the motor up - great news if I can do :-)
-
Ooooo
More please.

What are they like when shutting the bonnet ? On mine the weight of the bonnet helps shut it.
-
That's in line with Idris' suggestion - not something I'd considered.
What makes me hesitate is if it didn't bring the money in once the ebay fees had been paid, I'd be in a bit of a mess.
Would I be ending up with a better winch than the Warn too ?
-
Yes - please share your pictures Mick !
-
Great progress !!
-
I've also spent some time with a rotary wire brush and a fine file - and the motor end casing is workable with.
The hex shaft is stuck in the drum - but I guess I can work around that and rebuild it with it there. The brake seemed ok - so I'm thinking leave that alone bar washing out with brake cleaner.
-
Thanks both. I've pretty much finished getting it to bits and I think its worth fixing.
There is some corrosion on the clutch - but a bit of work with emery is paying dividends. The gears have been in my ultrasonic cleaner and are fine:
The motor was working so maybe if I get the right torx bit I could pull it to bits and rejuvenate.
I have though seen a new take off bow-motor for sale - how does that compare to the standard warn motor ?
-
Wow - thank you for all the offers. Before I say 'Yes Please' .... I've put a post up about my winch overall:
-
In my Td5 thread I've put a few pictures up of the state my winch is in now I've started taking it to bits. It's a Warn M8000.
It looked ok from the outside - with everything working except the freespool. On stripping it down the motor looks close to its end, everything had seized, and one of the end plates has some corrosion.
Now it's all in bits I was hoping it's become really clear wether it was viable to repair or not - but I'm not sure.
The gears are in great condition - probably hardly used. The clutch can be brought back. It'll need new tie rods, blasting and painting, servicing and a new motor. So I reckon £200 plus
The only thing I can't fix is that the motor will not sit / seal fully on the end plate where it's corroded away. It's something I think could be sealed with a neat bead of silicone though.
A Tds is going to be £450 plus ? More than I can afford - Neil suggested a second hand winch and obviously there are super cheap new ones on ebay..... but I imagine the cheap new ones aren't going to be of much quality and a 2nd hand one may have a hidden grotty interior just like this one ?
So when I think of getting rid of this one - I keep thinking 'well it works' - then when I think of spending the money on it I'm think 'am I chucking money into a pigs ear here'....
Would appreciate anyone's thought to help clarify mine ?

Jeff - you're not sponsored by megasquirt-v8 are you ?

I've found them for sale as a spare Mikey - but they seem rather dear ....
-
Basically yes - I'll need to confirm the dimensions, but yes.
Might you be able to help ?
-
Thanks all - a great help.
Irwin vice grips and Knipex pliers don't seem as expensive as I'd expected - I'll work out what size and pick some up.
Thank you !
-
Feels cheeky to ask - but would anyone be able to make a pair for me please ? I'll gladly pay for them.
I've started stripping my winch and it's all rather seized - and I wont be able to remove my tiebars without either grinding the bolt heads off or ruining the bars through gripping them.
I got in touch with David Bowyer - but he just said he didn't stock parts for Warn winches.
-
A pair of Agas ..... I thought your truck looked well balanced Mo.
It also explains the 'fresh baked bread' smell I kept getting on our laning trip.
-
Good grief.
They won't get anywhere with their legal action. There was an X5 rip off that BMW pursued through the Chinese courts - who basically said 'it looks nothing like it' .....
Wether it's corruption or protecting their own manufacturing base - the official position was effectively in support of the plagarism.

Can anyone recommend a decent (but affordable) brand for vise grips and pliers please ?
I've got some half decent tools but my grips and pliers are all rather cheap and nasty - and its time I got something better ...
Any help appreciated
