GBMUD Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Oddly, I have a very similar car (Rover though) in the same colour needing the same repair. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BogMonster Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Another use for a hydraulic winch: A little more bodywork repair was required in this case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LR90 Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 I suppose you need a slow winch or you might overcook it Grabs coat and runs ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pugwash Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 vids really disappointing i was really hoping that it was going rip the car in half frankly jez i'm not impressed- next time i want to see hydraulic damage! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted August 7, 2006 Author Share Posted August 7, 2006 TBH it was very controlled, especially given how fast that winch can go: Winching with a bit more speed (3.7Mb .AVI) Had it been an 8274 the run-on would've made the car a good few inches longer Tin hat on, boots on, heading for shelter!

dollythelw Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 true - at 22kgs in weight its a monster compared to a kettle element fine electric winch thats better Jim - normal service has resumed cant you put an electro line locker on a hydro caliper on your 8274 so its locked off pronto? oh carp, now Im actually trying to be helpful............

FridgeFreezer Posted August 8, 2006 Author Share Posted August 8, 2006 Lest we forget - not all electric winches are lightweight: OK, so no-one actually owns one of these yet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lara Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Lest we forget - not all electric winches are lightweight: OK, so no-one actually owns one of these yet... This photo shows just how much the new Bowyer winch actually weighs!!! The extreme density has distorted the gravitational field and is turning it into a black hole Could this be the reason that Landrover owners are always skint! that's where all our money disappears to, Black holes in the universe caused by enormous electric winches trying to masquerade as powerful efficient hydraulic units Lara.

FridgeFreezer Posted August 8, 2006 Author Share Posted August 8, 2006 In all honesty does anyone know how much that puppy weighs? ISTR a figure of ~90kg being mentioned but I can't recall much as Jez was upsetting that nice Mr Bowyer and I was trying to keep a straight face.
