just a bit of an update, thanks to Kenny Koala the transmission pan is now fixed and working well. For now I have left the bash plate off.
At times I fail to understand the logic of one of this vehicles previous two owners. It is fitted out with good gear, ARB bar work etc, the electric work for addition items is all good with a Redarc dual battery set up, good quality drawers etc and then they go and throw a stupid Tiger11 winch on the front. I have had nothing but trouble with it from the start. Initially it didn't want to work. After a bit of working on the control box got it to work. Same thing a couple of times later until it just gave up the ghost altogether. The last time I did use it the drum break broke and thanks to Ant at Coffs 4wd Centre got it replaced.
The main problem is despite what may be said otherwise the control box was getting moisture inside and the whole thing was just a gunked up blob of corrosion. Made inquiries and the easiest fix was to replace the guts of the control box. Called up Ant at Coffs 4wd Centre, top bloke, and said he would have a look and get it working for me. Dropped the 80 off and waited for a call. Turns out the old Controller was too far gone and replaced the whole contol box with a new one. Only problem was he didn't have a Tiger11 one so now I have a Runva Controller for a Tiger11 winch.
Best part is for JLW14 I now have a operating winch. Not one I would really like to be putting my life on the line for but one that if the situation needs it will be able to do the job. NO, I am not a fan of Tiger11.

Next thing I guess will be to replace the rope and get some new rope protectors for it
