Bicycle carrier for a Discovery....

I always use an old Paddy Hopkirk one that clamps on the towball and locks in place. Never failed, works on any car with a towhitch.

Do you know which model you have? And does it work with the spare on the back-door in place?

Thanks

How many bikes? I used halfords spare wheel mounted one on my DII and never had an issue but it will only hold two bikes?

Two for now but could easily become 3!

I'm a bit concerned about the spare wheel mounted ones as I'm concerned about the strains involved- and the spare falling off :-) With 2 bikes, there's a lot of torque on the spare wheel mount - even more on the door hinges Is the rear door really up to it?

The rear door will be fine, you do need to check on the condition of your wheel carrier as these rot like a rotty thing in a rotten bog. If the door is left closed then there will be no major issues on the hinges. I personally would not open the door with bikes on the carrier and it would be tempting fate with the paintwork to even try.

I have used a Halfords carrier for two bikes too. The kids bikes went in the back but now they are getting bigger they all get lashed down on the 110 roof rack.

I use a Twinny Load Off Road

Thanks for the suggestion but I'm a bit too mean to but one of those.

Has anyone hd any experience with these people:

Thanks!
