Pub, what's that? Vaguely remember pubs.....:):)

I can't see who installed it has anything to do with this, I wasn't looking to "blame" anyone and I certainly didn't take offence, merely expressed mild irritation at being laughed at for asking a straightforward question. Now you roll your eyes at me....classy. Maybe take a look at how others...

Before I realised it is on backwards I tested it using a friendly tree...it worked fine. Rigging a cover for the cables isn't a bad idea. Let's see how it goes, this has all been very helpful information, thank you.

Actually I did earlier. His reply was that the Defender it came off had a/c and the cables were fouling on the grille, so it needed to go this way around. He said he didn't do the original installation. If it's not dangerous or badly wrong I am minded to leave it as is, just having the cables at...

Thanks. I have no issue turning it around but what sort of bothers me is, if the winch is currently working correctly when attached a$$ backwards, spooling from the bottom as it should, then surely it's working against the brake. Maybe my ignorance is causing me to make a mountain out of a...

For what it's worth, the winch was attached to the bar and he installed everything together, so I am sure didn't notice the winch was on back to front. I only noticed it when changing the cable for a rope. It's a well known Defender specialist and one I have been using for years and have no...

I have posted a few times on here and it seems people like to take the p1ss when someone isn't an expert, not sure why my winch being on backwards is so amusing. Thanks Neilly and George for setting me in the right direction though.

....picked it up from my local landy guy who took it off another clients' defender and installed it on mine. In the process of cleaning it up and changing the cable for a rope when I realised it doesn't look right to have the cables coming in from the front and the little screws securing the...

Hopefully this doesn't fall into the category of 'stupid question' or, if it does, it at least results in some much needed merriment! I have a 1998 Defender 2.8i which didn't come with a low fuel warning light. As part of a lockdown project I am trying to remedy that by using some of the...

Hi, this is the vehicle I would like an independent evaluation on ... http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/land-rover/defender/land-rover-sa-spec-defender-2-8i-1998/6882925#/home See what I mean? Marc

I should have said that, yes I have and they are clearly an option. I was just wondering if anyone knew of anywhere else maybe a little more specialist.

Hi, I am not (yet) a Defender owner, but am very much in the market for a good used model and have been looking at a lot of vehicles around the country. There is one that I am very interested in but there are a couple of things that concern me, so I would like to get an independent evaluation...
