Thanks again for the great advise this is all great and taken on board I apologise as I miss read one off the first comments in regards to free spooling with 24v I kind of over looked this as in my head I already had accounted for air freespool which I am going to fit So just to check I have this rite with air freespool fitted there is no real problem with running a 24v system and overvolting 12v bow motors to get better performance from a 12v winch for example a warn 8274 or am I missing something I understand that maybe it is going to wear the bushes faster but surly not at a crazy rate ? Thanks again your great guys

Yer Funny enough I had not long read that and I see they are saying only winch in at 24v and not out mmm I know for a fact people do though not sure what to think now

Thankyou That's ok then as I would be buying to new identical batteries and mmmm I can't see why them wouldn't be ok I will certain find out though how come is there somthing that makes you think they wouldn't ? Cheers

Or would the 12v battery's charged from a 24v alternator need to be linked up in series not parrallel sorry for sounded like a rite newbie but electric side of things is not my area haha thanks again

Thankyou for all the replies much appreciated it's great to get so much help and tbh it was because I'm looking at options for set ups for the new build Which will be a winch challenge truck, I'm thinking of having the battery for the engine, lights and such as the normal setup that is original 12v then adding a 24v alternator and running two 12v battery's in parrallel and having that set up for the winches would that work ? and running bow motors on the winches, I would like to have 12v motors on the winches as I'm told and have seen they can handle being over volted and work much faster , cheers

Ok cheers tbh it does seem that way would you recommend keep the 12v system but having more than one battery

In the past I have ran one 12v battery which powered everything engine and front and back winches it always worked well but for the new build I'm looking to do somthing different/better is it worth running a 24v setup and overvolting a bow motor also could some one explain what I would need to do to run 24v or should I have a battery for running start up and such like then one for each winch or just one for the winches basically what do most people do now and or what do you advise thankyou

Hi Just looking to get some advice on how to get the most power/efficiency out of my 1997 discovery 300 tdi that will be in my build I'm currently working on, I know it's never going to be fast but I love the 300 and am will to spend time and money to get what I can out of it cheers

Is it fixed yet mate ?

Hi just brought a discovery p reg 300 tdi never had anything to do with discos I own a 90 300 tdi and know that really well just wondered if any one had any useful main difference between the two more in terms off electrics than anything cheers

We had the exact same problem as you described and after new discs pads calliper brake pipes all round still had the same problem changed for the full super pro 4x4 bush kit had it tracked then 4 wheel aligned had recently brought new wheels and tyers anyway the list just goes on and on it still wasn't fixed. until we noticed by rocking and playing around with the truck the that front on each Corner was responding differently anyway long story short turned out to be one of the front shocks it had just decided enough was enough and after taking them off you could see why they were both dropping abit on there own one more than another and they had no force to push them self back out

Have you still got the issue or have you managed to fix it ?
