Disco 3 winch.

[A.J.M]

So, after a couple of swaps and some help.

I have landed a genuine Mantec winch sump guard, complete with the land rover badge stamped on it, along with a Warn external winch mount. For the total cost of £65...

Now, i have the winch A bar, winch wiring etc and now the winch guard and mount.

I need a winch to fill the spot, i have been offered a warn 9.5 with 2 remotes and a steel cable. It's in a budget i would be happy with. Would be changing the cable to plasma rope as i don't like cable.

Is this a decent winch for the D3?

What do any winch users use for their own car? Winches and ropes etc.
It won't be getting fitted for a while till i have everything together so i have a few months to gather the bits.

Also, did anyone get any training for using them? If so, was it a course and how did you like it?

I want one to help the group i off road with, between the 9 of us. There are 2 with winches, one works shifts so isn't always there for pulling and it's a lot to ask of one guy to keep being the winch guy.

Could have done with one a few times off road myself, once for an off road competition. Would have been able to get up the hill and got out before running over my time and gaining a shed load of penalty points.

The plan next summer is to do travelling in the D3 so getting it ready for that. I feel a winch would be handy.
