Any one else have the superwinch 525 hydraulic setup?
Yes I have one, fitted to the back on a 3 speed auto. Going in this week to get it set up right as it works but dose not want to pull the 110.
If you want any pics of the set up let me know.

I run Gwyns kit on my 110 with +5 ProComp shocks. Works very well and no broken shocks.

Thanks Paul
If I had charged batteries - I'd have given it a go. But stalling on the ramp, and not being able to restart MogLite would have been a tad embarrasing
Could have charged it at the show. Mark on our stand had a petrol powered charger in his 110.

IIRC aren't both in the National Park, so it is up to Park authorities to determine whether they allow vehicle access in all or part of the year?
Paul if it was the following weekend we could make it, but otherwise it's a long way from Cambridge.
Cheers

I dont know the full story, The National Parks can give permisive rights to drive them. I know this was talked of on parts of Sarn Helen. It might be for this bit as well.
If anyone wants more info about this email Mark at the above email address.

So who won the twist off ?
I only saw a few go up the ramp. The best was the black truck-cab on dumper tyres - he scored a respectable but beatable 1180ish ISTR.
No a bad prize either - some kinda winch.
Yes he won it.

All I know is that I was told by someone last week, that they tried to book a place at billing and were told they could not book as they did not know if it was going to happen.

but as a rule Autos are for big and powerful engines the tdi is niether
My 200tdi auto has been tuned by Gwyn Lewis and goes a lot better, but its still no speed machine.

I have a 110 fitted with a 200 TDi and a 3 speed auto. Its slow compared to a manual. But I love it off road and green laning. But mine was fitted when new, it uses a conversion plate. As everyone has said “its each to their own”. But in your case I would stick with the manual box. As getting an auto to fit to a 200tdi is hard to find.

I have a 200tdi with a 3 speed auto in my 110. Yes its better. But if you go to auto, I think, you need to move the gear box mounts and change the props. Also its getting hold of an auto box to fit a TDI. Mine was converted to auto when new and has an adapor plate inbetween the box and engine.

Yes I beleve so.
Go to ashcrofts website, look in the LT230 technical info, it shows the various part numbers and details.
Thanks
Paul

Can anyone tell me if the transfer box (LT230) on a manual (lt77) and the 3 speed auto are the same? I know the ratio are not the same, but its the bolt holes.

Were you in the group at the bottom of the steps as we passed? We were a camo 110, 110 crew cab and a s3. Did not have time to stop as the others were wanting to head home early.
