@verydisco, that is where I am going with this I think, the current one has served me well and in reality not worth much due to its condition etc. So beef it up (no rush) and buy another one., I have been looking for a couple of months since I sold my RRS and can't find anything else, bit sad but life is too short ! Matbe could ManMath an SC

Yaaay! That would have been my vote too. And not only because I am doing the same thing: our old L322 has received off road mods and will get more and I have been looking for a new one.

Gaz, you never did an L322 off-roadized, did you? Just the D3(s?)? 
RRC 2Dr, RRC 4Dr,
P38, and 2 L322s
(wife thinks I'm nuts - prob right, too)

No but I might.....

+1 for that Rosco / VD / Gaz...not that SWMBO would let me buy another one, but it would be nice to see your interpretations. GONE 2010 Facelifted 3.6 TDV8 - Stornoway Grey + 22" Overfinch Olympus
HAVE 1999 Discovery 2 GS 4.0 V8 - Silver - Off Road Toy
GONE 2013 L405 4.4 SDV8 Vogue. Black with Silver roofline and 22" s
HAVE 2015 Jaguar XF.

I like the decision.

By the way, people have often said putting a winch on an TDV8 would put the front axle over weight but does anyone know exactly how much leeway there is? I quite like the look and do actually use them (certainly did on the Defender). I'm just wondering whether hydraulic plus synthetic rope would be an option. But as I haven't found any figures for what the actual weight on the axle is...

Maybe time to get one of my father's data loggers out to work it out.
