asked quite a lot of people about them ( made myself a bit of a nuisance :whistle: )
every one who had one rated them and one guy went on to say it was faster than his warn 9.5 and another said he used his every day in his business and had had no problems
so at £350 with a 11mm plasma rope and albright style solenoids it seemed a good buy

Seemed great value!

winch now fitted by the wonderful guys at Staffordshire 4x4
apparently modifying the bumper to fit the winch required cutting off the strengthener fillets for a warn 8274 was a pig - took a plasma torch in the end :ohmy:
the solenoid box is mounted neatly under the bonnet
isolator switch behind the passenger seat
the electrics from the old winch was a bit dubious too so they were all replaced with cables at twice as thick :huh:
stealth winch!
