    Ben......
    My experience with preparing new LR's for delivery was that any owner who had had a capstan winch would specify another on the new car in preference to a drum winch..

    That is a very broad and sweeping statement. Yes there are advantages to a drum winch, however there are times when a capstan is actually better than a drum.
    • You can control the speed of a capstan pull much better than with a drum winch.
    • In the time when this vehicle was built the only cable option for a drum winch was a wire rope which is very heavy.
    • Not only was the wire rope heavy, but the hydraulic winch option on the 2a Land Rover was also very heavy.

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.
