Hi,
I've go a Warn 9.5Ti winch on Land Rover winch bumper. The winch is tight up against the radiator grill (it does have air con), has anyone fitted a winch cover? I was thinking of on of these? www.firstfour.co.uk/item/2129314/warn-neop...i--amp--si Do they fit? Any other recommendations? Kind regards, Peter Defender 11MY USW |

I have a similar winch on the 110, and gave up with the normal use of the cover, found the winch was always damp / wet, mainly due to condensation,
I cut my grill to get it to fit properly Click image to enlarge California F1, 75th 110 "Kermit", 50th Ann V8, 90 V8 Hybrid, 55 Series 1 Main Brian James Trailer Dealer for South West UK |

In that case Tim must have got a deal and bought a non aircon bumper

You know me to well Matt Without going OT to much,, think i when through this before The genuine winch/bumper on mine, was originally fitted by a main dealer to a 54 plate TD5 XS with AC,, Now i recon, they fitted a non AC bumper bar, then "made" it fit, hence the grill cut,, No big deal for me,,as i have a better approach angle with it set back a inch or 2 , In general, recon the cover is worth having,, used mine last in Morocco, to keep the dust out,, but not been on since California F1, 75th 110 "Kermit", 50th Ann V8, 90 V8 Hybrid, 55 Series 1 Main Brian James Trailer Dealer for South West UK |

The land rover instructions do say that the grill needs to be cut, but when I tried mine, I found no need too
My cover looks like this one http://www.flickr.com/photos/mwhcvt/5384356054/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/mwhcvt/5383755099/lightbox/ |
