Yer right Ratty, it is closer to 25 metres. In fact it is pretty much exactly 25 metres long. But, being the numpty I am, I forgot to measure the thickness - I think they're a standard size, are they not? I just had a look at the photo and it says 16.3mm...

I'm after one but i'm not in any rush to get one and I'm not fussed on what model it is as long as it's a tu16 or upwards. I'd rather wait to get one at the right price. I'll offer you £150 for it if ya don't have any luck on ebay or if you want to end it early.
 
Not sure, I was hoping for a bit more than that - I paid considerably more than that for it but they seem to have dropped a bit in price over the past couple of years. Can you not go a wee bit higher..? Especially as it's got a reaaaaally long cable wiv it!

Have you got any other pics of it?

does it have the hook or the pin on the end of the actual winch cos I can't see it in the pics on ebay?
 
Fer once I don't feel guilty about making a coupla bob out of the postage! I'm trying to get out of the mindset of "it'll come in handy one day", so if I canna use it straight away it's going on ebay or in the bin!

Ratty, can you do any better on the winch...? Pleases!

£165 is as high as I can go cos they often come up at £100 to £180 but mean I have to travel a bit to get em. I've just been waiting for one to come up local.

Are you sure you canna get up to the £200 mark? I paid over three hundrid quid for is and used it for a few jobs, I'd really like to see some of that back. I know there are a few cheap on ebay but they end to come with sort cables or are up in Scotland. And they are over a grand new! (who pays that..?}

I'd like a million pound an hour pay rise but it doesn't mean I'm gonna get it. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::p

Most of the ones that I have bid on or been watching have had 20 to 25 metres of cable and have the original handle. Ive been umming and arrring this last week about buying 2 for £240

Don't worry. I'm not in any hurry to spend my money so I'll just keep my eyes open for what I want at a price I'm happy to pay. I usually get what I want eventually. :)
 
Thing is people are short after Christmas, should have put a reserve on it

It's on its way fella.

In other news: is anyone going to bid on this Tirfor?

Ratty, if the sale happens to fall through I will let you know. I need it gone 'cos I just haven't got the space for it. But I need to realise as much back as I can as I am freshly self-employed and, as someone once said, "money's too tight to mention!"
