ANy ideas anyone? Have teh roof bars etc so maybe something that clips on to those?

Anything that suits a S1 or S2 should work....

Thanks for any ideas

I was looking at carriers for the wifes Vitara, decided it was too high to fit bikes to in the end, all well using the roof bars but having to lift the bike that high?
Spare-wheel carriers seem the most logical, can be bought from around £50+

In the end I put a roof rack on my car (much lower) .... too much hassle working out when the missus's car would be available!

If you have a tow bar, I think Witter (sp?) do one that bolts to the plate behind the tow ball (so you can still tow), my parents had one on their S1/2 but recently sold it, A guy at work has one which I beleive he is trying to sell, PM me if interested and I'll see if he still has it and get some pics / details....

Thanks to the above, but no tow bar I am afraid; if I have to go down that route then so be it... will just check once more and may even call Landrover; but I know that will cost me smile


ps - And yes, there is a Disco out there without a tow bar!

As an alternative, I am sure you can get them to strap/clamp to the rear wheel.
