Runva wasnt in there but theu had pictures of warn, tigers and supercheap items
Warn make good winches but they don't seal them very well. Reckon if your going to see water is worth striping and sealing the thing whatever it is.

To water proof my aldi winch, I pumped a lot of silicone into the end, and covered it in a bit of lightly greased glad wrap, taking care to leave the seals and screws exposed. I then just sat the
drum on it and pushed it down a bit. I left it to dry, lifted the drum, peeled the glad wrap off, greased the silicon and whacked it all together. Have done swamp and river crossings and not had a drop of water enter the winch.

Have you stripped it down to confirm its knackered? Or is the Solenoid knackered? Did you bench test the winch on a hot wire direct to the motor in each direction?

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

Not yet.. Will do it tomoz when I pull it off. Solenoid works, but I think drum is seized.
Edit... drum still moves freely but only by hand. not with remote.
