Okay guys, thanks for the advice. Going to keep looking for something more suitable but can't afford new. I might get lucky. Stu.

Okay then...... have to keep my eyes peeled for something more suitable. I might pop this on the trailer then, or flog it to go towards something else. Cheers for the advice!

So 5000lbs (2.2 ton) not enough? It would be for self-recovery (or recovering others!), so what pull would you suggest?

Hi folks, I have recently come into possession of a 'Superwinch S5000'. It's a bit tatty and needs a new rope and hook, but seems fine apart from that. My question is whether anyone has ever fitted these 'S series' winches to a Defender? Is it even possible, given that the drum is not central? If anyone has one of these fitted, then which bumper was used, as I see the mounting being the only restriction to fitting one? Stu.
