I do now have a nice shiny aluminium fairlead, mainly as I wanted to figure out the height to mount the numberplate at and it does finish the bumper off neatly. Next stop on the winch trail would be a plasma rope, remote, decent solenoid and then the winch itself but there are other things well ahead of that including a second battery to run my gadgets.

However, if I see the fabled "8274 in need of rebuild, £50" I'll probably bite the seller's hand off!  :lol:

Well yes! lol

I forgot to say that there was a wireless remote setup inbuilt with this winch as well, so it was a major bargain :D lol

After some grinding and bashing, it's on. Still not perfect but it's not going to fall off. I might ask the garage if they can take a look at the fit when it goes in for MOT, at least they should be able to come up with some options to get it sorted:

Just been modifying my headlamp washers to fit, all now plumbed in and (presumably) working. Just need a nice clean river crossing to wash the dust off now!  :lol:
