Hmm, looks the same from t'other side too. Apparently has part number FTC4228 on it.

Some sort of weight?

reet am guessing here but i think its summin to do with a winch that uses a flat strap (like the old threshers farmers used to use or the drive system in mills etc)..
some kinda pulley thingy and that wire round it is like a retainer to keep the strap from falling orf when it has slack in it.. anyway thats ma guess if i come up wiff owt else i'll let you know
 
thanks for the guess Slob. Must go and have a look at the bloomin thing!! Wonders of internet an all, haven't seen it yet... :D
 
Aint it a dynamo, so when your moving the lights work, or it could be a mini tumble dryer to put wet socks in, cocktail shaker?, space saver spare wheel?, something to bang your head on when servicing??
 
thought it might be one of whose hard drive things, you know for storing the computers that manage me Land Rover motor...
 
cos of all the **** its been through, its turned part organic and developed a tumor
 
the previous owner found it on a scrap heap and thought " i know!! lets bolt this on here just to ruin the next owners day when he finds it"
 
HI all. Had one on my Discovery and never found out what it was for. Hope that helps.

yeah, thats a great help trainy,pretty much along the lines of the infamous "mine does that" that you normally find in the section of this forum that you usually hang around in ;)
 
Think you've hit the nail on the head there with the vibration damper bit. That big wire should plug into Karmens hardon and because of the close proximity of the diff housing it will act as a subliminal vibration dispenser. Thus foregoing the need of a minedoesthat repeater and an interdispersal unit, which in itself does away with the question of which tyres are best. But then I could be wrong. It could be the vehicle that was commissioned for the South African Curling team and it's a left over Curling thing.
 
It looks like a anti harmonic thingy that is usually on front steering axle. mounted differantly. Looks like sombody's added one maybe cause of some strange harmonics of bumbs etc.
