Go to Halfords and buy a Choke cable (less than a fiver).
Connect it so that the user end (the bit you pull out and twist to hold it out) is near your cut out switch or on the front of the vehicle somewhere where it won't draw attention to itself. Connect the business end to your accelerator mechanism (allow enough slack for the engine to bounce around without breaking the cable).
Now you have a hand throttle to crank the revs up when you use the winch. Much better than carrying something to wedge the accelerator pedal down.
Unfortunately you can't do this with "drive by wire" engines like the TD5. Any ideas anybody?
