Ive seen the lanes in your gallaries and they are pleasant but dead easy. There are lanes in Derbyshire that would take see the shogun well and truly stuck , rear locker or not.

That is one of the problems that we have down here not quite as bad as Salisbury Plains I suppose but pretty flat

All have virtues both good and bad.
You seem to have this thing that LR break all the time. Mine has jsut killed its rad after 3 years of abuse.

I don't know why - it could well be coincidence or bad operating but the first trial I went to someone had a diff go, the second was another diff and a transfer box, the third was a holed sump and either the rad or head gasket, the fourth was a half shaft. Plus I have seen three Rangies roll in the last 3 months. That's different people on each one not the same machine
However I know Mitsis are supposedly reknowned for having a huge appitite for heads and head gaskets and gearbox input shafts apparently so

Come up winches are made in Taiwan, its near China but very different.
Come up are the only manufactures ( corect me if I am wrong) to manufacture to an ISO9001 Quality system, carry TUV approval and the Nowegen Shipping board aproval that I cant think of the name of.
Some one quoted cables and test certs.
A lot of the cheap stuff carries no test cert, you should get one for the winc and one for the cable.
Jap stuff v Land rovers
Both very good but different applications , my Spanish SJ would beat any similar spec Land rover or Jap mitsubishi etc, but it wont do 70 on the motorway or tow a caravan.
Wouldnt it be drab if we all liked the same car???
Sharpshooter:
