L322 Winch Mount

[jonnyjon05]

Afternoon Everyone,

I want to buy a winch + mount for the L322, i have rang around and in Australia the best price was around $5500. However I found this web site, is it legitimate? has any one brought parts from them before?

http://landroverpartsinternational.com/partlocator/index.cfm?action=MorePartInfo&PartID=491185&siteid=217236&catalogid=5516

I have tried email and phone with no luck, i also found this website

http://volvopartsinternational.com/storefront/index.cfm?action=contactus&siteid=217383&comment=8640648%20Rear%20seat%20entertainment%20sy stem%20-%2007%20-%2C%20Sandstone%20Beige%2C%20C010%2C%20C910%2C%20C 710%2C%20CV10&catalogid=5533

which is the same phone number and website just with a different car...

Regards,


Jonathon.

Why do you think it is "NOT Suitable" for TDV8 and 4.2 Supercharged Vehicles?


cheers

[Graeme]

Perhaps it restricts airflow to air or oil coolers too much in those vehicles.

Tease....:D. C'mon, break it open and show us what it looks like....

[jonnyjon05]

This was a tough one..
Nothing quiet fitted together like I expected it to, after spending a cumulative total of about five hours studying the instructions. It took a few attempts at each step or cuts to get it to fit properly. I had intended to clean every part of the car to perfection before re installing and get every cut perfect however on Sunday afternoon, needing to drive it to work Monday I stopped treating it like my pride and joy and treated it like one of the jets i used to work on.... In the sense that it needed to "fly " and i have a job that needs doing and it has to be done to the appropriate standard.

While the standard is pretty dam good, pretty dam good is below the standard I like for my own things.

The instructions were ambiguous, I honestly think I would have done a better job and taken less time if I just ripped everything out of the box, laid it out in front of me, and took my best guess rather then follow the instructions. There were 20 spring washers but no picture showed them being used, so I ended up putting them on everything. In the instructions defense they did have the torque values for each bolt.

This is it with the cover on, I was going to take the cover off but as you can see from how I have mounted the number plate I cannot with out having to take the number plate of. It is my intention to drill holes in the number plate down the bottom big enough for the quick release screws so I can get them off with out removing the number plate. I thought about just mounting the number plate higher but it looked horrible so until the euro plates get here this is how it stays.

Mounting of the solenoid is as per the book, however as you can rather then run the ground wire to the switch to complete the circuit i simply attached my ground wire for the solenoid to a existing earth.. Also in the instructions there are a few different ways to do it, one suggests just running it straight from the battery the other insists on the solenoid. I used the solenoid as on the night I opened it I didn't have a jigsaw to cut anything so I did as much as I could before I needed to cut anything. One of those things was the solenoid, if i had to do it again i wouldn't bother, it draws no current until you plug the remote in and give it a command.

I cut a corner out of the fuel cooler air vent at the front to route my wires and then just put a small cover over it, as opposed to drilling a 50MM hole out of the metal. If you haven't I recommend having a look at your fuel cooler, i doubt air had any path through mine it was that clogged full of bugs.

As you can see it is pretty neat underneath.

On a lighter note and if you are looking at doing this job yourself, I highly recommend a WORKS 12v Transformer Jigsaw... Bloody awesome bit of kit.

What is the solenoid rated to? Winches can pull over 400Amps... Only looks like a standard aftermarket starter solenoid, usually good for about 80A. It's something to look into as it could end badly if the solenoid packs up.

Install is very tidy and professional! Nice job!

Cheers

Solenoid came with the kit. I will check the rating.

Thanks :)

Fantastic - had this kit on my D4 and it worked a treat; couldn't believe how many people stared at the front of the car at the traffic lights wondering what was under that cover......!!!

Hahahaha, someone from work did ask me today, I said it was a secret, I wonder how long it will take them to realise or ask again :p

[Chrisnussey]

I have one on my TDV8 Vogue. It is supposed to put the front axle over weight.

[CSBrisie]

Hmmmm…That photo of your Rimini Red Vogue isn't big enough Chris - ;) - can we hear more about the TDV8?? Looks like quite a set up - is that an LED bar on the front too?? what else have you done to it?
cheers

Chris

Finally a decent photo of the winch

I have one on my TDV8 Vogue. It is supposed to put the front axle over weight.

Is that the only reason they say not to use it on a TDV8? or are there airflow / cooling issues?

Also, what changed on 2010 onwards facelift for this kit not to be applicable on all engines - I would have thought behind the bumper it would all be the same?

[CSBrisie]

Chris N has one on his TDV8 which I think has done north of 275000kms so doubt it's an issue for early TDV8; might be on 2010 and beyond - not sure

[Graeme]

Is that the only reason they say not to use it on a TDV8? or are there airflow / cooling issues?I would expect so as the MY10-12 bumper has a larger air intake right where the winch mounts.

Soooo

I had a quick google...this bad boy came up

Extreme 4x4 Ltd RANGE ROVER L322 DISCREET WINCH MOUNTS (http://www.extreme4x4.co.uk/acatalog/copy_of_RANGE_ROVER_L322_DISCREET_WINCH_MOUNTS.htm l)

ive sent an email asking about it, doesnt appear to be in stock though, you cant find it on their site, it only came up from the google search.

but cheap as compared to OEM



whos up for a group buy?

[Strangerover]

Would love one of these but don't want to tempt the kangaroos by removing my factory bull bar- any ideas?

[rar110]

What battery would be used to power the winch?

[2nd Rower]

I could be interested if confirmed it fits 2010 TDV8 and hopefully keeps parking sensors!

[CSBrisie]

I had this Kit on my D4 and it used the factory battery. Front outside parking sensors worked. Inner two needed a half circle of velcro to cover 50% of the sensor so it didn't detect the winch kit.

If the steel cable is replaced with a synthetic rope Not only would the winch be safer to operate it would also reduce the weight considerably [thumbsupbig]

[Chrisnussey]

I believe it was all to do with weights. I haven't had any dramas and do have a dynarope to install but haven't got around to fitting it yet. The Rangie is a 2009 3.6TDV8123349https://www.aulro.com/afvb/
