I'm only a trip accross the m56 in Altrincham if you want to have a look at mine. I use a drill and it works perfectly. I could even knock you up some of the parts if you don't mind a bit of wonky welding.

I thought of buying a winch off of that there ebay?

Works off the battery and everything   but I'm just dreaming I'll never do it!

Researched this issue exensively (imo) and although it could be done and would look good. I dont believe you could acheive anywhere near the speed and control that a drill gives. I know it looks a pig but the drill wins hands down. 100m microbore in seconds.

Geared motors
wheelchair motors
golf buggy motors
chain driven
belt driven

Really not worth the hassle. Once you try a drill you will choose performance over looks every time. Not trying to insinuate you are that shallow but I sadly am in this area. If your hose is fixed in the van no-one can see anything anyway, except your hose dissapearing very quickly.

Lithium drill £80 BnQ (lithium coz they dont need to fully discharge before you charge them and very light)
Socked holders 3 for £4.00 toolstation.
17mm socket (i think) straight on to your spindle.

Smashed mine most days for a year and the plastic spindle only just needed replacing last week. £10.00

Had serious shoulder pain now its completely gone.

Hope this helps.
