  1. Fantastic workmanship you should be very proud of what you have made.

    From your pictures then when you removed the plastic front bumper you replaced the existing metal front mount with a new custom mount?

    Did you buy this new mount or did you make it?

    i had to make my own custom mount as there is no one out there that does them,

  2. Hya,

    Looks the D's B's mate .... any pics of the complete project?

    Which FL (engine) you got? with or without airco? used a V6 bumper? which winch?

    Or do you wanna keep it your secret? ;)

    cheers mate,

    Dennis

  3. Depends which way you have wired the motor side of things :)

    Honestly, connect it up, if it goes the wrong way then just switch the two outer wires and robert's ya mum's bro :)

    will do but i just wat to check that i am going in the right direction (no pun intended) with the 3 front pins that they are the in and out connections i will admit im not a electrial guy and know if you get it wrong things go pop game over the motor is wired red and black at the back of solenoid if this helps

  4. i have got a solenoid now just wondering how you know which is in and out for the winch supply i have the same one in picture

    as you look at it i have two black/neg wires on the left and two red/pos on the right and of the 3 pins at the front im guessing middle one neg and other 2 in and out but does any one know which way round please

  5. I wouldn't be surprised if you've killed the receiver if you've wired it direct.

    You'll need to use solenoids to use the wireless controller with that winch; the solenoids would replace the switches in the hand controller.

    The present setup has the high current load of the winch switched directly by the switches in the hand held control. This is reasonably unconventional when it comes to 12v vehicle winches.

    The wireless controller is not designed to switch high current loads. It is designed to control the solenoids/relays commonly used with 12v winches. By wiring it direct you may well have drawn too much current through the wireless receiver and damaged it.

    I would suggest you get hold of a solenoid pack/Albright and then start again.

    What are you planning to use that winch for? Hopefully nothing too strenuous!!

    no loading a miniture traction engine on and off of a trailer but it would be a great hand if i could have it wireless, thanks for info will be in touch if i still have problems
  6. ok here are some pictures of the winch i have, the wireless remote, and wiring diragram i got,

    as you see there is no control box or soleniods only a wondering lead with 4 wires two to the battery pos/ neg and the same to the winch

    i have tryed attaching the battery straight to the wirless box and then the in and out leads to the winch but does not work

  7. It can get deep down there. We spotted this floating around (and nudging the footbridge) a few weeks ago. They must have been determined to go boating as they will have driven past two lots of 'Road Closed' signs.

    Ahh well.

    from look of picture there must be an officer with very wet feet

  8. Probably the IRD. I am no expert in this, beacause I have rebuilt an IRD box, but not a gearbox and there is definitely something funny about the Final Drive in the gearbox on Freelanders. The differential between the front wheels is in the IRD box and the gears have probably stripped. Certainly that was the problem in one of the boxes I have stripped. That box had also stripped the teeth on the crownwheel and pinion so it had no drive at all.

    The Honda PG1 gearbox is very reliable and unlikely to be at fault.

    Just out of interest, what RPM does your car do at 70 MPH? Iam trying to work out if mine has been fitted with a petrol gearbox.

    my diesel is about 3000 just under on flat road motorway driving if this helps
