Tony, Happy to save you the postage if you want

Some say it's the director but I reckon it's the whole crew

It's such a good deal that I was tempted to get another set just incase

Total Poo! Any company that offers a three year warrantee on thier product when used in off road compatition must have some faith...

Jimbo, if Thunderpole can't help, leap into the Jimbus and pootle up the M5 to Michael Wood Services North Bound. The CB shop there is excellent and they are very helpful, being from near The Forest they can explain things simply as well

SuperPro every time and that won't be very often

There's loads and loads and loads BUT a tadge on the scratchy, I will try and find the time to dig out some stuff...

PM the old cheese monkey

Yup; Lord High Priest Of the 100" LR. As it so happens I have a set of his rumbunctious LRS's in the garage that need returning to His Lordship, if you required them and he agreed I could drop them up to Sodders

Tight, use three. I used to have D44 (Gingetech) top mounted. Very noisy but they worked okay. Now have Mountain Goat LRS (lower relocation system) from Laing(S.Wales Inc), really nice, quiet and smooth...

If you get a SH winch I am more than happy to service it - only cost to you is parts if I need them.

That's a shame they were well made for the price. Mind you might be worth chasing a discount deal from other suppliers like that S C O R P I O N bunch

Britpart 12k Slow but okay. Spend the wad on an EP9 from Dave Bowyer at Sodbury, you will get change then and a far better winch

Warn have a very good marketing set up, they are the biggest players in the market. They are overpriced; Warn ar not trend setters in innovation, in fact some of thier products are antiquated; they have build quality issues compared to other makes - issues one would expect from cheap Chinese cr*p not cheap Chinese cr*p assembled in the Good Ol' USofA

9,000lbs is about right. Avoid GEW/AEW stuff or 'Branded' with stoopid names. A nice 'lowline' would work well but you will need to either buy or fabricate a mount. About the cheapest VFM mount around that is any good is the Padia jobbie for Disco's. It fits well but will need a icckle bit of grinding on the lower wings and a nice trim on the front grill. T-max 9500 Outback and Superwinch EP9/EPi9, COme Up DV9000/DV90001 are about the best qwalitee winches around. If you really have to go WARN then the M8000 is more than up to the job as is the more manly XD9000. If you can blag a cheap 8274 I have an ex Camel Trophy RRC mount for one that is alos the front bash guard - yours for not a great deal if I can get it back of TJ101

Just got to point this out. There are quite a few small improvements on the EP compared to the comeup; just little odds and sods but definately there. The ComeUp has been used as the base for about 8 or 9 'own brand' winches like the EP and as such could be called the father of modern light weight winches. I have been stripping a comeup I recently purchased for a mate and comapring it side by side with an EPi that I am fixing for a chap in the village (wired up by a fool!). Back to the T-max. The Outback version in 9.5k form is the best VFM on the market at the moment

The EP is excellent The T-max is only slightly less excellent than the EP due to an internal brake The Champion range has some very good winches in but they are heavy and soooooooo slow as to make a Husky look quick. The cheaper champions are just that, cheap... Yer pays yer money and you gets yer choice. Except for Warn where you pay shed loads of money for very little but still get your choice

I have a problem with Ferodo. The 100" seems to glaze them for a pass time. I am thinking of trying EBC Green as I have had little truck with Mintex since they pulled a sponsorship deal some years ago.

'Old Ginge' at the Buck Emporium of expensive Land Rover Bits had a very nice way around this problem. He used a Tdi tank and an external Pacet pump. The fuel pump isn't that high a pressure at all (all the pressure is done in the wizzybangpop bit so he found you could use 'normal filters' his way... Why not ring the jovial old chap and have a chat?

I could give you a list as long as yer arm of ones to avoid. PM Matt Neale on this forum and ask him

What on Keemosabe? The Big Horn? The Ibex? The P38? Moglite? The Ural?

Been with Firzzell for years, swapped from Flux as they 'Didn't insure vehicles for off road driving, including greenlanes'. Can't be doing with idiots... As a CSMA member I get 35% discount before my no claims (was 30 but has just gone up!). Unlimted mileage on the 100" and the Passat, off road cover on the 100" and 'non highway cover on the Passat, no excess, me and the missus only for both vehicles; all mods on the 100" (oh and no problems what-so-ever on the Q plate!); covered for ceratin types of competitive motorsport and marshaling on both motors (how does a Passat 1.9Tdi estate hill climb? Does the triptronic make it quicker?); my small collection of 9 points has no effect on premium. I pay 367quid... Claims have always been spot on, service is excellent. Oddly enough the late Bike was insured with Flux - never any problems. Odd that

I do believe my learned colleague is correct, the laws refer to the frame of the hitch and it's construction, mounting and mounting points. A NATO hitch is simply that, a hitch type designed for the larger ring (oooer) used by the miltary (double oooer, hello sailor) and rated at five of your EU tonnes. As long as you fit said hitch correctly all is tickety boo. It is even legal to fit those crappy orange 1.5tonne pin/hitch combos to a disco/defender/rr as long as the =trailer towed is within the confines of the hitch spec...

DOn't bother with a belt, just slip on a bit of Bailer Band and tighten it up with a dolly knot

My first thought would be similar to that of Mr White and Mr Hell. However I have experienced something similar in a similar situation. Whilst emulating Mr Blomquvist in a BMW 325i, it shuddered to a gasping halt. It turned out to be crud in the filter that had moved due to high 'G' and almost totally blocked the fuel flow...
