Hi, a friend of mine has a S3 land rover with a HUGE hydraulic winch fitted.
he wants to remove it.
has anyone ever done this? i have bought an over drive removal kit but are there any guide lines for its removal?
cheers

just unbolt and remove. fluid will need to be drained into a container first. But apart from that it's just a case of unbolting everything and fitting the blanking plate to the transfer box.

haven't seen guidelines for removal of an overdrive but to quote Mr Haynes it's just the reverse of installation. removing the hydraulic pump will be very similar to removing the overdrive.

thoroughly recommend getting or making the special tool.

installation of an overdrive is here. Fairey Overdrive Manual provided by Rovers Down South | 504-248-5301

hi
the winch; one of the people i buy parts from told me they sold 2 in the spring summer, for £600 apiece.
so i suppose my friend will sell it or swap for an overdrive.
