So, if you don't mind me asking, how much coin??

Don't know yet. $794 pounds, plus shipping (air freight only). Covered by insurance so not important. Could have him ship 2 if you're keen. Will hopefully have the original motor from it shipped as well to repair the Tigerz and fit it to the rear, 'cause I can.

Same as the auto which was killed recently by poor workmanship. Oh well, Ashcroft replacement on the way. I'm starting to like other people working on the D2, they break things and then have to buy me new bits.

Didn't you rebuild the auto not that long ago?
I'd be spewing

19,000K's to be almost exact.

Oil refill procedure, which I emailed to them, reinforced by visiting and explaining, plus explaining to the electrician (who I became instantly wary of) about disconnecting the winch and driving light connections with the fitted plugs rather than unbolting. But he knew better. When reconnecting he didn't hold the terminals that pass through the motor body of the winch and broke off the wiring inside the motor. When I tried to use it, fortunately not off road and stuck somewhere, it shorted out internally and also fried the solenoid.

Turns out the insurance assessor hails from England. A little place called Solihull in fact, working as a final inspector on the D2 production line. A one in four chance that he inspected and was the first to drive my D2 off the line. He check for his marking that he put under the steering column cover and it was in fact him. From there nothing was an issue.

Not even 20k kms.... I'd be seriously

What are the odds....

4:1

There were four inspectors, one disco, two inspection lines.

Can't be too upset, at least I don't have to change it myself this time. That's a seriously unimpressive job.

I was more referring to the odds of your insurance assessor being one of those four

That's not too bad. You probably already know, but you'll probably have to pay GST on top too.

I'm good for a winch, thanks anyway for the offer. I got's me a Warn Hi Mount.

How much are the motors?? I wouldn't mind sticking one on the Hi Mount instead of the Warn 6hp I'm looking at getting.
