I have a Thule clip on cycle carrier that I have been meaning to check if it fits. Although I don't know exactly which model it is, it was previously used on a Mk2 Focus. I will post again once I had tried it.

I have since contacted Thule, and they told me it wasn't compatible.

I just bought and fitted a halfords high mount bike rack, Its support sits on the rear window in the wiper area, so at first I removed the wiper arm but then thought again and removed fuse 20 under the glove box to prevent the wiper ever moving. an easy job after finding the fuse removal tool in the under bonnet fuse box. the water squirt still works but at least the wiper wont start itself if I select reverse on a rainy day At work

The best bike rack type fit on the towbar and Thule make several excellent types. They can be tilted with bikes mounted to allow access to the boot and lighting and number plate are built in. Most sensible choice for those of us with TOWBARS 2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

most sensible choice is not to have a towbar At work

Agreed I'm looking for a colour-coded towbar or one with an i-pod connector! |

If you have a Silver FL2 your in luck cos the Thule come colour coded - otherwise you will have to get a respray or change your ride for a silver 1 Not sure about the ipod connector, but try stuffing chickens in the fuel filler hole - that may help 2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof. Stornoway Grey with Ebony Black Pleather, Clear Indicators, Body Side Mouldings etc. |

I have two bike racks one which goes on the tailgate which holds only three bikes which I think is a Halfords one and the other is Hlafords roof rails for the old model of Freelander which I have modified to fit the current roof rails and fitted four bike carriers on the roof.

I just fitted a Maxxraxx cycle carrier to my HSE. It's the dogs, we have a thule system roof rack for our Clio 182,and the cycle carriers for that are ace but I just didnt think access for 3 mountain bikes on the roof of the Landie was a good plan being Hobbit esque in height...Maxx carries 4 bikes, mounts to the towbar,still allows me to tow (nothing to tow mind you!) and I can hinge the whole thing back to allow the back hatch to open, with the bikes still on the rack,only takes a couple of minutes to attach the rack too,once the initial fitting of the base is done.Bloody marvellous.Mate recommeded it to me as I had never heard of them! Cost £275 from Maxxraxx with light board and hanger. |
