I have a ews 9000 fitted to my 110. I cant check the ebay reference from school and as I understand it they are all slightly different depending on which factory in china made them.

Not used it in anger yet so cant comment. If you want to pop round and have a look let me know.

Yeap, thats the same one as I have.

Seems solid enough. Turtle has a whinch that looks almost identicle fitted (but it is grey)

Downsides are
 the instructions I got with mine were damned awfull (I eventualy got replacements instructions and the engineers in china were very  helpfull via email).
Also (on mine at least) nothing was provided for fixing the  solanoid pack in place so I had to make my own bracket.
The cables provided are meant to fit to an under bonnet battry, they wont reach to an under the seat set up (had to buy extra welders cable)
