hi guys,

recently i have  purchased myself a new winch for my defender 90. 

but....i dont have a clue how to wire it up, and i cany seem to find any wiring diagrams on google which i can fully understand.  so does any1 here know where i can source a good, simple, easy to follow diagram, and/or have any tips for wen it comes to fitting/using it. things like, will i need to get another battery for example? :/

any help appreciated.

regards
jack

What type of winch did u get, and do you have a solenoid for it

its a....'12 Volt Electric Winch & FREE Wireless Remote Control Kit Warrior C3500-A'   hope that helps, and yea it comes wit solenoid.

Hi mate have a look at this , http://www.x-eng.co.uk/Instructions/X-Charge.pdf . it is for splitcharge setup but on the last page it shows the winch too,

cheers Iain

ta very much iaiin...u wouldnt happen to know how i put up pictures on this forum posts do u? im havin a nightmare trying a hundred different ways.

Jack, is the winch intended for self recovery or some other purpose,a Warrior C3500A  (3000 lb/1361 Kg pull)is only for a quad or similar.A suitable size of self recovery winch for a Defender has to be at least  8000 lbs/3500 Kg or more.

it is jst for playing about with tbh, it is more for aesthetic value.  but cheers for bringing that to my attention..i neva realised it was for quad, hopefully it'll be compatible . :/ ooops!

Flog the winch and look out for a proper 8000Lb or greater one - often seen in the "For Sale" on here - In fact I think Bill has one available now, complete with bumper.

if its new could you not return it as unfit for purpose?

gona keep a hold of the winch for now, seems like it'll be ok, for wot im gona be using it for.  ill keep an eye out for bigger and beta ones in the future, and flog this off wen ive saved abit of money.  thanks for the advice tho guys. 

you could double the pull with a snatch block just take it easy and dont burn it out
