Replacing the spare wheel winch on adblue model D4

Has anyone got experience of replacing the spare wheel winch on a D4 with the adblue tank? I’m looking to replace it after my spare was cut out. The non-adblue job looks simple but with the tank it looks like a very fiddly job - anyone got any tips?

I had that done at an indy... labor was <£50 but the parts (winch, tyre guard and wheel protector) came to over £400. Plus a new wheel and tyre... 2016 Discovery 4 Landmark black

Thanks for the replies but I'm going to try to do it myself - so am after some DIY tips in replacing the winch assembly. Cool

Update: I managed to do this myself. It was like playing 4D chess (with more swearing) taking the old one out and putting the new one in trying to slot it inbetween adblue tank and lining up all the bolts. I don't really have many tips - I did loosen the adblue guard a bit to get more space to maneuver in.

Looking at videos of the non-adblue version it looks like a 15-20 min job. Big Cry
