Following last nights events .....getting stuck in the mud (luckily a mate came and pulled us out....Thanks Jimmy).I thought maybe I should consider getting a winch. Anyone any recommendations ? Or any 4X4 garages in central Scotland.

What tyres have you got on? This would be the first thing to change for me. Get some BFG all terrains if you use your L200 on the road lots, but still want OK tyres for off road, Or go for any type of Mud Terrain tyre if you are mainly off road. These tyres should stop you getting stuck all the places you go in L200's.
If you are set on putting a winch on, Come up winches are very good for the money. You will also need a winch plate, and get it welded or bolted to the chassis, as well as cutting your bumper and grill up so it will fit. Winches kill batterys too, so you may have to put a Optima battery on.

I have already got some Kingpin AT's (whether they are any good is another debate lol!), what budget do you think I should set for the whole setup?

Land rovers are shit. They may not get stuck much but who wants to drive around in a noisy uncomfortable piece of junk like a land rover. I would rather get stuck now and again but have a bit of comfort.

Got BF muds on mine, had it stuck a few times, and tractors nearly.... A winch and ground anchor helps... Or just get a quad/mule with trailer...
Yes I remember digging it out after you got it bogged down in a moist field :D

Every Landrover made since the 300 Tdi sucks the only ones with any room are the 110 double cabs and the every 'improvement' they have made to them since has made them worse! They are unreliable, badly built, overpriced pieces of shit! HILUX'S ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!

you can get a winch called a terfer winch basically a wire rope (length is your choice) and a box with a handle,hook it up and move the handle back and forth,they will dead pull 3 1/2 tons....this would be cheaper than a bolt on vehicle winch......i find the way of not getting stuck is to run the vehicle in normal drive and when you start getting stuck,select dif lock and back out the way youve come.......

I dont need to put up pictures. That motor looks smart but looks are nothing if you doing 10 hours of driving. I had a land rover and it sucked. It was noisy uncomfortable and slow. this was an older 110 i also had a brand new 110 from work. That to was a piece of shit.
