Ok, so it's not RRS related, but does anyone know where I can get a bike carrier for the Freelander? There are a couple on ebay but does anyone know anywhere cheaper? 2002 Discovery Adventurer LE

I have one ........................ and it will also fit onto a FFRR as I had my removable tow hook for that modified to take the towbar mounting.
Mine is gathering dust in the garage as it will not fit on the removable tow hook that I have on my Sport. The same bike rack can be used on D3 and RRS if you elect to have a fixed towbar though.
Andy they are very, very heavy so carriage would be prohibitive. A Carbon Footprint is the mark a lump of coal makes when it's dropped on the ground.

Staying - Epsom Green Defender 90 for playing off road

Not sure about postage as you said, could get quite expensive. Do you know if the ones that fit onto the rear wheel are any good? Are the ones that go onto the towbar better? 2002 Discovery Adventurer LE

Have experienced both......................... LR version is definately superior (and much much more expensive!), the spare wheel one was very flimsy (a Halfords version) and we nearly lost a bike off it.
LR version requires a tow bar to be able to fit it. It sticks out far enough to clear the spare and doesn't require any straps or stays to keep it secure. The mopunting is a plate that goes between the tow bar and the tow ball using longer bolts, so it is permanently connected to the car. The carrier then slots into the two short posts on the bracket. It is much more sturdy than anything else similar on the market.
I'll try to "jury" rig it and take some pictures, but that won't be until this evening as am off with Mr and Mrs Mudalloverit for an offroad driving day in the Grampian Hills.
Have you tried Pendle Bikeracks who make bike carriers to fit most models of Land Rover? A Carbon Footprint is the mark a lump of coal makes when it's dropped on the ground.

Ok, don't fancy losing a bike so I think I will try the tow bar one! I'll try Pendle Bikeracks now. Have fun with your off roading day!  2002 Discovery Adventurer LE

Andy if you are interested, I have still got the spare wheel mounted bike carrier from my Freelander days.

I regularly carried two mountain bikes on the back with no problems what-so-ever.

If you are interested send me a pm.

I have also still got a Freelander dog guard if anyone is interested. Arctic Frost TDV6 SE. Aspen Leather, Cherry Wood, Privacy Glass, PTI, Tow Pack, Mudflaps, Tasmods, a new Fuelflap, a RRSport.co.uk umbrella in the boot & a RRSport.co.uk sticker on the rear glass.
