Wayfinder is the only other way other than local knowlage. But the other way if to walk them Paul

I like the Midland ones, you can get a "kit" from the likes of Thunder Pole, CB shack and ebay. PAul

Well done all. Paul

Yes I agree, I was there from friday dinner time and it was not that good. Less stands than last year. As for space, we (CRAG) could not get a pitch as we were told "there's no space as we are full" !!! Paul

Thanks for that, but the h14 I have seen have only the 2 pipes. I will be giving it a go later this week. Not had tome this weekend as I was away at the LRW show. Paul

Same here as someone forgot to order them!!! Paul

I am looking for a kick down cable for a 3 speed auto. When asking about I was told by a man on another forum that he paid £140 for one!!!!!!!!! Paul

I will get some blanking plugs and test it a gain befoe getting a new motor. Paul

So "if" I block it off it will not cause damage other than blow the seals? If thats the cast I can block it off and retest the winch, if it dose blow the seals it would not matter as I need a motor anyway. Paul

Whats the other (tank side) side of the x-member like? Mine started like that, but I change the whole lot, took just over a day, but a lot less if I did not keep stopping. Paul

Hi John, It looks like a standard size. But I dont have a good pic, but will get one tomorrow. I have all the details from the motor, IMR027PPDRRK 8301 70290 Motor was/is made by Dowty. Paul

I called Tony at Superwinch, and left a message wit hsomeone else as he was in a meeting. But never got a call back, so will try again sunday. Paul

Will give them a call today and let you know. Paul

I have emailed Tony about 2 weeks ago and never got an answer. He was the one I spoke to about the winch when I got the 110. It was him who emailed the manual to me. But the hydraulic system is not the standard one they fit. It might have something to with been fited the same time as the Auto box when it was new just after it left LR to be fitted out. But I have emailed Superwinch again today anyway. Paul

No good to me I think. My motor is not fitted to the winch, its a remote with a shaft to drive the winch. Paul

Possible, it goes from the drive motor to the spool block. I wil have to see if I can get some blanking plugs and try it. The place just tested it. Paul

About £150, but its getting one. The only place I have tried said you can not get them anymore. As mine has 3 pipes and all then ones now have only 2 . Paul

Had the winch/motor tested by a Hydraulic place today. Looks like the motor is on the way out. The winch will pull 2T but stalls with 3.2t to pull. All dead weights. So it looks like the winch is ok. So they are going to see if they can get me a replacement motor. (some luck ) As my drive motor has 3 pipes in/out of it. I have just sent an email asking PG Winches if they have one. Paul

I have Gwyns kit on my 110 with the +5 procomps. It works well. Procomps go up to +8, but pin to ring. I take it you need pin2pin? What I have through of doing is moving the shocks inside the chassis rail. Yes I know I will not get as much damping. But I am not sure how much damping I will lose and how much more travel I will gain. Not sure what to do with the front yet? Paul

Well if anyone speaks to him please let him know he has a PM. Paul

I sent him a PM a few weeks ago and have not heard back or seen him online since? Paul

B)--> QUOTE(steve b @ May 21 2007, 05:03 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Been talking winchs to lots of different people lately and some has told me of a H14 mech (i think) that wore out the worm & worm wheel -because it was filled in the gearcase with EP90- to the point where it self locked when powered in...might be worth a look inside ? you could also take the motor off the winch & run it up to see if it runs ok (rotationally , not under load obviously)?.....I never realised phosphor-bronze could be attacked by ep 90......will be freeing off the drain on mine & looking for the right oil-mines a fairey mech winch powered hydraulically so if anyone knows the correct oil? Steveb It sounds like your winch is the same as mine, just they changed the name when they were taken over. The manual is on this forum, do a search its in one of the threads I have started. Paul

Dose it need Hi range? If not just weld the dif in the gear box and run the props instad of drive shafts. A mate has done this with a Mini enging in a trials machine. Paul

Hes not sure yet, his "old" disco engine is going into his 90. So hes got a spare Paul

I spoke to Mark tonight and hes been up and started the Disco then drove it home Paul
