That's definitely the latest incarnation of the winch. Looks like whoever you bought the car from suffered the same fate and had to replace it (or had the foresight to replace the weak design)........I know where my money would be Wink ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

Mine has been cut well above that ?


I have noticed some RRS spares face down - this would make it easier to steal and risk damage when dropped - always winch face up for protection Shocked

I had the RLD from last RRS and decided to be doubly sure on current even with the new winch design as I am sure the new winch is not as secure as RLD Confused Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Assuming MAW had the revised winch being a 2012 looks like the Censored have worked out how to remove it Evil or Very Mad

Glad I didn't sell my RLD when I changed RRS - are you sure you don't need it on the new one Jim Confused Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

No, on the RRS2 the spare is where it should be - under the rear load space deck, so loads of ground clearance underneath, not exposed to the elements and nice and secure inside the vehicle!

Well mine is a 61 plate SDV6 - I'd like to know if it was the new one as that makes a mockery of the design - LR should be fitting RLD or RLD style protectors - improving the design admits weakness, why not make the change worthwhile.

My cable is showing an attempted cut mark above the cut point....

Well, Wilmslow to be precise but still!!


Nothing to worry about in Wilmslow. More Range Rovers there than the Range Rover factory.

Contrary to what most southerners think, the outer suburbs of Manchester and much of Cheshire is quite nice, and bereft of the proletariat.
