Winches & Recovery
We Have Everything You Need To Have & Know About Winches & Land Rover Recovery
Modern recovery equipment is extremely sophisticated and manufactured in quantity throughout the world. However up until the mid-seventies a large proportion of the equipment in use was homemade, often just consisting of a ridged jib and a simple block and tackle. Modern recovery vehicles come with a bewildering number of accessories. These include power units to supply air for power tools or pumping off vehicle breaking systems, etc. Generators supply 110 or 220 volt mains power for floodlighting, tools, etc. Most vehicles will be equipped with an assortment of lifting strops or chains and webbing to secure loads. A special form of webbing called a snatch strap is sometimes carried to assist with vehicles that are bogged down in mud, etc.
Nearly all vehicles will be fitted with 12 or 24 volt ‘jump start’ or ‘booster’ sockets to start other vehicles with discharged batteries. Most will also have power winches to load the casualty, or for dislodging stuck vehicles. Some larger recovery vehicles will have two (or more) winches capable of pulling up to 30 tons per line. These will be used to winch back vehicles that have left the roadway.

Used to Help In The Recovery Of Vehicles Bogged In Sand Or Mud
Snatch straps are manufactured from webbing that is capable of approximately 20% stretch under load. This stretching property allows the strap to store kinetic energy, which is used to pull vehicles from a bog. Snatch straps are typically between 6 m and 15 m in length, with 9 m being a common size. Snatch straps also have ratings of permissible working load – e.g. 8,000 kg.
A snatch strap is used by attaching one end to a rated recovery point on the bogged vehicle (e.g. a recovery hook or loop on the chassis). A second vehicle is required to do the recovery. The snatch strap is laid out on the ground in the direction the bogged vehicle is to be recovered (either forwards or backwards), with an “S” bend in the middle approximately 1m in length. The recovery vehicle is backed up so that the snatch strap can be attached to a second rated recovery point on the rear of the recovery vehicle. The recovery vehicle then drives off, and the strap begins to stretch, building up potential energy, until the force keeping the vehicle bogged is overcome, at which point the bogged vehicle is pulled forward (or “snatched”, hence the name).
Suspension
Land Rover Suspension Accessories Make Them That Much Better
Land Rovers are known for their off-road abilities and it all boils down to the suspension system made for each model. The product upgrades mentioned below are for beginners right up to the most advanced over lander that really puts their Land Rover to the test. If you are looking for a slight lift, smoother ride but not take away from it’s off-road ability then be sure to look through everything we have to offer. New aftermarket shocks and springs for the Land Rover Defender can turn it into a smooth riding off-roading machine that does not need a kidney belt. If you are more into the luxury and smooth ride of the Land Rover Discovery 4, Discovery 4 and Ranger Rover series we also have Acrotek Lift Rods that will lift you an extra 2 inches off the ground. There are many aftermarket products available but ours are all tried, tested and have our stamp of approval. We have tried many of the aftermarket Land Rover suspension kits available and have decided to only market what we feel offer a quality ride without losing that off-road and 4×4 ability. We do have a few Landy’s fitted with the products we have on offer, so come pop in for more information and even a test drive.
Acrotek Lift Rods
Easily fitted to your Discovery 3, Discovery 4 and Range Rover Sport which gives you a needed lift in all terrain modes. We recommend you have your alignment checked after fitting these rods as they might slightly adjust/change the camber of your vehicle. Fitting these also allows you to fit larger tyres now that you have the added clearance that in turn makes for a more enjoyable off road experience.
LIFT RODS – LAND ROVER DISCOVER 3 & 4 AND RANGE ROVER SPORT
Heavy Track Shock Absorbers For Land Rover As Well As 4×4’s
All hydraulic shock absorbers work by the principle of converting kinetic energy (movement) into thermic energy (heat). For that purpose, fluid in the shock absorber is forced to flow through restricted outlets and valve systems, thus generating hydraulic resistance. A telescopic shock absorber (damper) can be compressed and extended; the so called bump stroke and rebound stroke.

Raw Nitro Max Shock Absorber Performance/Stability/Control
Africa’s terrain is some of the most diverse and demanding in the world, which is why it is essential your 4×4 is equipped with the right suspension components. If you are considering fitting aftermarket accessories, traveling prolonged periods on corrugated tracks or just want to improve the performance of your 4WD you need to upgrade your suspension.
RAW NITRO MAX SHOCK ABSORBERS
Nitrocharger Shock Absorbers For Land Rovers
Nitrocharger 4×4 shock absorbers were specifically designed with Australia’s unique driving conditions in mind, where vehicles are often heavily loaded, fitted with accessories and driven on harsh, Outback roads for prolonged periods.
OLD MAN EMU NITROCHARGER SHOCK ABSORBERS
Bearmach Designed To Smooth Out Or Damp Shock Impulse
Pneumatic and hydraulic shock absorbers are used in conjunction with cushions and springs. An automobile shock absorber contains spring-loaded check valves and orifices to control the flow of oil through an internal piston. One design consideration, when designing or choosing a shock absorber, is where that energy will go. In most shock absorbers, energy is converted to heat inside the viscous fluid. In hydraulic cylinders, the hydraulic fluid heats up, while in air cylinders, the hot air is usually exhausted to the atmosphere. In other types of shock absorbers, such as electromagnetic types, the dissipated energy can be stored and used later. In general terms, shock absorbers help cushion vehicles on uneven roads.

The Land Rover Discovery 3 & Range Rover Sport Suspension Troubles Are Over
Tired of replacing your front upper and lower control arm bushes on your Discovery 3 or Range Rover Sport? Why not add our range of bushes which last 10 times longer?
This week we are pleased to announce the addition of the Land Rover Discovery 3 and 4 and the Range Rover Sport (2005 to 2013) to our product range.
There is a common issue on these vehicles where the oil filled rubber front lower arm bush fails regularly causing vague steering and accelerated tyre wear.
Their new front arm rear bush, PFF32-402, not only offers a reliable solution by using their unique blend of polyurethane but along with the clever use of voiding and inserts, it can be tuned to suit the owners driving requirements whether it be for comfort, off roading or performance driving.
The supplied inserts can be fitted into the ends of each bush, reducing movement in the bush and allowing for less flex.
Leaving the inserts out allows for a suitable amount of compliance for general road and off road use whilst still offering improvements to the handling and steering feel over the original bushes.
PFF32-401 front arm front bush compliments the rear bush by further improving steering response.
Another common fault on these vehicles is a light knocking from the front end. This is generally caused by softened anti roll bar bushes so to remedy this, we have a range of anti roll bar bushes for the Discovery and Sport covering models with and without ACE suspension.
For models with ACE Suspension use PFF32-404-34 Front Anti Roll Bar Bush and PFR32-405-34 Rear Anti Roll Bar Bush.
For models without ACE Suspension use PFF32-403-30 Front Anti Roll Bar Bush and PFR32-405-22 Rear Anti Roll Bar Bush.
Our new stock will be arriving within a week so be sure to contact us for more information as well as place your order to secure the end of your suspension troubles.
Product Pricing Information
The prices shown on our website are per bush. To get the total pack price you will need to multiple this price by the number of bushes per vehicle.
Bush Price x Qty Per Car = Pack Price
Land Rover Discovery 3, 4 and Range Rover Sport
Part Number | Description | Quantity | Diagram Reference |
Price (each) |
PFF32-401 | Front Arm Front Bush | 2 per car | 1 | R740 |
PFF32-402 | Front Arm Rear Bush | 2 per car | 2 | R1160 |
PFF32-403-30 | Front Anti Roll Bar Bush 30mm | 2 per car | 3 | R360 |
PFR32-405-22 | Rear Anti Roll Bar Bush 22mm | 2 per car | 10 | R385 |
Here is an example of a common problem and the estimated costs involved
From experience the following stock standard bushes need to be replaced anything from a year to two years at a time due a design flaw.
Description | Quantity | Price per Set | ||
Front Arm Front Bush Set | 2 bushes per set | R1480 | ||
Front Arm Rear Bush Set | 2 bushes per set | R2320 | ||
Front Anti Roll Bar Bush 30mm Set | 2 bushes per set | R720 | ||
Rear Anti Roll Bar Bush 22mm Set | 2 bushes per set | R770 | ||
This exercise could cost you around R4850 every 1 to 2 years or you could use our Powerflex Bushes which lasts 10 times longer that would only cost you R5420 once off excluding labour. We save you R4280 on the second change and then R5420 every 2 years when you would usually need to change the replacement bushes. Once is all it takes for a safer, smoother and money saving ride.

TDV6 Upgraded Intercooler
We have been made aware of various problems with the original Land Rover intercooler design, primarily due to blocking up of the intercooler core with mud when the cars are used off road, due to the intercooler being mounted at the lowest point in the front of the car.
