I know you said they are expensive but saw this and thought it may be of interest. Local dealer.

Thanks for that travel bug , But I am very wary of second hand things like this.
We have purchased a winch But , trust my luck it has to go back as it is faulty!!Thanks again. Yours Yvonne x

You can weight that's sit on the winch weights line so if the line snaps it help to hold it down. I can't remember the technical name, or can find them but the do exist.
