Having owned 5 Land Rovers prior to this one I already considered "The Fixing Hammer" however as it won't free spool I was reluctant to do so. I also considered attaching the cable to something solid and reversing to "free it up" but as winches are new to me I wasn't sure if that would be a good idea. If I had the time I would love to learn how to strip down and service said winch myself, however I'm as busy as fook fitting signs so if there is an easy way or someone I can pay then I'm in!

In my book, if you can't fix it with a hammer its an electrical fault, so hit it first! :D

ok, never having used a winch fer ages, I know very little
(oh how that saying will come back to haunt me)
but, bath it in WD40, tie it to a tree or DR E`s non running V8
the select low ratio,
get yer mrs to bash winch at said point, while feathering clutch in backwards motion while clicking solinoids clicks....;)
failing that, ask someone who really knows winches matey....:eek:
 
OP where are you ? not on your post ..
It might just be clicking because you have it wound all the way in and it wont go further , needs to go other way , but seeing as most of us on here are'nt psychic its a bit difficult to diagnose from the info you are giving !

Someone once called me a pedantist, I told him the correct term is a pedant which kind of proved his point...

nah its a jeep :D
 
If you can get the winch to work correctly, I suggest that you change the alternator to a higher output unit and fit a split charge system (one battery for the vehicle and one for the winch) The downside to a split charge is that you will lose the n/s seat base compartment.
 
Oh, by the way, the term 'Truck' was the official company label for the Truck Cab variants of the short wb and long wb Land Rover
