Due to me being a dunce and punting a fellow landy owner up the arse last night I need a new winch solenoid box

However doing a quick google this morning its not as easy as I thought it would be. Its a Winchmax one, does anyone know anywhere selling the solenoid boxes for them? i have emailed Winchmax themselves but while i wait for a reply i thought i would see if anyone here knew of anywhere

you did what?

Is that what the sailors are calling it now?! :lol:

Regarding your solenoid, just get a generic one, it will be better than the cheap one that came with your winch.

The best of the best is an albright - HERE

Or a slightly cheaper durite - HERE

Its already got an albright, the place i got it from upgrades the solenoids for better reliability

Its not the solenoid i need, its the box it goes in and i can only find the whole wiring kit for £150 but i dont really need another solenoid/controller and remotes

Thinking of just getting a waterproof junction box from B&Q and drilling the required holes in it

oh. sorry that wasn't clear in your OP. Or i understood it wrong.

in that case yeah just do your best to waterproof it then. :lol:

Yer probably my fault for not being clear enough

Why not just get a waterproof project box from somewhere like maplins and while you are at it move it somewhere else out of the elements and safer from bumps.

get longer cables and stick it in the engine bay

Tuskenraider · Dec 4, 2013

Yer that looks like what I will be doing. I assume the crappy remotes still work when its under the bonnet
