You do not necessarily require a very large electric winch to recover cars onto your transporter. Smaller 4x4 style winches will do the job but be aware that the drum speed may be much slower than that of a larger winch.
It is far cheaper to buy breakdown cover in advance from one of the major providers (AA, RAC, Green Flag etc) than to have to pay for recovery when your car actually stops at the edge of the road. You can obtain breakdown cover for as little as £30.
I have an electric winch on the front of my Discovery TD5 but it has stopped working. I hear a clicking noise when I press the button but the winch drum is not turning at all. Are these difficult to fix, are parts available or is it a case of just buying a new winch?...View Entire Thread
