Hi does anyone know if a thule motion 200 roof box will fit on freelander 2 2014 with genuine land rover rails and cross bars.
Also which roof box is best to fit freelander 2? Is land rovers own make of a good quality

A Thule motion 200 is not a large box, so will fit no problem. The cross rails are adjustable fore & aft so will accept any regular box. The LR branded box will likely be of good quality but you may be paying extra for the badge. If in doubt, look at roofbox.co.uk.

Mine, I have simple Whispbars and a Skiguard 200 box (rare as hens teeth in UK)

Roof boxes will fit on standard "thin" square bars using the supplied "U" bolts. The Thule spec says the "U" bolts are 80mm. If the bars are the "thicker" aerodynamic type, they NORMALLY have a fixing slot on the upper face, sealed by an internal rubber strip. These are intended to be used with special bolts where the head of the inverted bolt engages in the slot (above the rubber) and the end goes up into the box for the washer/nut to be applied. It looks as if the LR bars may be more than 80mm AND have no slot in the top face. Suggest you check the dims with Dan at Duckworths. My box came with "U" bolts but I used some shallow dome-head bolts I already had in a spares (cuminandy ) box.

I have Thule Atlantis 900 and it's awesome.

Have used it for many thousands of miles and years without a blink of a problem.

Quick n easy to fit, opens both sides on hydraulics, very smooth.

Loads and loads of space, we bought the Thule fitted bags (perfect shape including nose shaped bag) and it makes it a dream to use. Load bags indoors, knowing they'll fit perfect.

Downside? Looks ugly, but if you need a roofbox, this is so so good.

The humped top swallows so much stuff, you can load odd shaped kit in there without a problem.

As for bars, I've just bought the new Thule aerobars, WOW these are quiet. The wing mirrors create much more wind noise than anything on the roof!
