    On my current defender I wired the solenoid up next to the heater box

    Albright style with wireless remote only

    If the wireless plays up (which they do because they are Coronanese Quality) you can jumper the Albright directly

    With the solenoid under the bonnet no troubles with water ingress and tampering directly

    I did wire the wireless earth via a dash switch just so that on the off chance someone’s garage remote or other wireless signal starts the winch spinning!

    I have found it easier to take the wire rope off the winch while it is still fitted as they are a bastard of a thing to handle on a bench when the wire is old

    Simply free spool it off the drum and cut it short with an angle grinder

    Id recommend taking it off & giving it a birthday.
    My Warn M10 was a tad sick, but scrubbed up really nicely.
    Warn M10000 rebuild

    The warn plug, being open to the elements would be fairly well corroded, so your on the right track picking up a wireless unit from ebay.
    Wire rope is really heavy & if I was to do it again, would go synthetic.
    There are people saying the internal drum brake can melt the synthetic rope, but ive yet to see it.
    Although, synthetic rope will rot when kept wet. May pay to keep it off the winch & inside, until your ready to go on a trip??
    I agree with everything roverrescue has mentioned

    Most winches can be "Rescued" as long as they haven't been burnt out or something else Nasty has happened to them and Warn make a pretty robust winch so it shouldn't be too much of a drama servicing yours
    I recommend that every winch should get an annual service, Which is basically a simple clean up and new grease added
    Also if you are not using your winch for any length of time simply laying out 10-15m of rope and winding it back up again about once a month is about all you have to do to keep it in good shape.
    As for synthetic rope "Rotting" Well I haven't come across this problem after 4-5 years of having the dyneema on the winches.
