I have no winch...

Not do I but clearly they thought it did when it left the factory. My suspicion is that very few left with a winch but every pub around Brum was selling them cheap.

@RangeRoller dt Ha Ha, I don't suppose it took too long to work out what was making the noise there then.
Pretty certain my noise was being caused by the H'brake, been running it for 2 weeks now without shoes, no untoward noises, (except the doris "when are you going to fix that then"). Will rebuild with new parts when I can be arsed.

Doubt it was that clean leaving the factory

I did clean and lube everything that was meant to move, no difference to noise so took the shoes out.
I have replaced the rear prop by the way, not running around as shown.

I immediately thought my viscous gearbox or shaft was going, it’s the nightmares you’ve been giving me. Was such a relief when a passer by said “oi mate, your exhaust is ‘angin’ on the floor”

So anybody take theirs in for the recall?...

Yes that’s right - It’s a rhetorical question just to end the thread

No we didn’t - nobody did, it’s a waste of time, none of us have ever had a warn winch

I may, if I ever get the bugger back together.

Buy a busted one cheap now and chuck it on take it in for recall saying it’s never worked as long as you’ve had it - a truth- see if they fix it

Unfortunately it is currently in the air on axle stands and staying that way until I get some inspiration or parts

I have 1 1/2 brackets and the tray and old bumper just need the warn winch!!

Can't see myself pulling to much with it though

Oh I don't know. Sight of that winch on your motor and the Scottish lasses legs will be opening like flowers.

Think for you it’s more a case of vehicle originality than ‘want a £1000 accessory il never use on my urban off-roader

’
For you it’s like something that should be there is missing?

P38’s do mud and cow sh*te fine even on standard tyres (as you know) they don’t need winch except for certain circumstances. Tow hitch is best tool on it

I wouldn't take a lot of notice of what is written in the info, it say mine was first registered on the 31st December 1999. It wasn't. Think DVLA must have had an office party just before that crap was uploaded.
