Bob, do a google search there are a few companies doing them for about £550 inc Warn have drooped the price to get people into the brand as Warn are out of the justifiable reach for many!

M8000 with BOW motor is compact and super strong.

What is a BOW motor?
It would add 60KG (34KG winch and 25KG for a First Four bumper) to the front so maybe a portable one would be better for my needs........ |

For what you're doing a capstan would be a better bet.
Anyone still make capstans for current Defender models? |

Bow motors look here
They are highly regarded by the winch comp boys. Also look at the Gigglepin site. However a Bow motor may not be necessary for your application. Demountable winch? Consider a 2" receiver front and rear with Anderson connectors for power supply. HTH Brendan |

Thanks if I am going to go for permanent fixture I am looking at the Devon 4X4 Clubman winch bumper with the Warn M8000 and replacing the wire with rope to lessen the weight again.
Will look into a demountable winch ![]() |

Hmm, not quite what I had in mind! I was thinking more of the kit for the Stage 1 V8 and later, but I haven't seen one on anything later than a 200Tdi. |
