New roof rack
As we now have a dog taking up the best part of the boot which is normally piled high with our luggage I was after a roof rack! We have a roof box but for things like inflatable boat & fuel cans it is not much use!
So I have been looking around & came across this one that with a little bit of tinkering dose the job well!

Well I'm not keen on the look (looks a little too high and off the roof to me). But as it cost £100 I think it's a bargin!D3 HSE MY05 Auto

Yep I was looking at fitting it on rails bolted to the roof rails which would mean it only being about half an inch off the roof, but this will do for now!Range Rover Sport Estate 2.0 P400e Hse Dynamic Black

Strange !!! never came accross a half rack before,
then both of us come up with a different version this week
Great idea, as they are easier to add/take off than a full rack.
here's mine from here:
