What's the relative merits of the low-line or bridge versions? One that started out as a 2.4 TDCi 110 XS

some like the bridge version so they dont have to worry about mounting the solenoid pack elsewhere. Some non bridge ones come with the pack mounted above the motor some have them loose. with a non bridge version you get good visibility of the rope going onto the drum which is ideal if you are running wire and dont want to snag it.

Simex extreme trekkers
 We are talking about normal road based vehicle winches not challenge trucks. 130's have feeling's as well you know  |

Sounds like a TDS 12.0i is the right choice:
12k lbs of pulling power is well over-spec'd and won't strain the winch under pretty much any circumstances (ideal for a bogged down and laden 110 or 130); pretty cheap (429 + VAT) allow you to add a synthetic rope without breaking the bank; good performance in crap conditions. Oh well, I'll add it to the list  One that started out as a 2.4 TDCi 110 XS

For self recovery leisure use, its got to be a TDS Goldfish,, Good winch and excellent valve,, forget a 8274 for that job
Have a overvolted TDS sat in the middle of the challenge truck, been more reliable that the Twin GP 8274  California F1, 75th 110 "Kermit", 50th Ann V8, 90 V8 Hybrid, 55 Series 1

Im with AndrewS on this one
 its has to be a Warn Powerplant HD every time, plus as a bonus you get a great compressor built in |
