Why not just run one winch mid mounted in a vector set up, saves weight and you can use it to pull in either direction

Thought about it. Lots of messing around. End up with a tube running through the cab.

With twin winches one can be used to anchor it if required.

At 28kg a winch its not a massive weight penalty having two.

Shouldn't have to run a tube through the cab, just a few guide hoops along the chassis if using synthetic rope.

What winches are you planning on running? Sounds light for a 9500lbs winch unless they are short drum winches, most standard size winches are 30-35kg even with synthetic rope.

Thought i'd start getting this ready for MOT and a few outings this year.

Starter motor fitted. Zero life.

Spare starter. Zero life.

Both sent off for a recon and / or replacement.

Did you test them off the car?

Did you test them off the car?

Yup. Not sure whats wrong. The one fitted was full of Wiltshire, hoping they will both refurb.

[Jordi]

Refurbed starter fitted. Plus a spare.

Brakes all serviced, oil and filter changed.

MOT as soon as i have time.

[Jordi]

I knew i needed to order something for MOT. Serviced it this morning.

Oil, brakes, filters, checked coolant and screen wash, all the lights. Still wasn't sure what i needed to order, then remembered. Wipers! I broke one several weeks ago.
