Hi,
I asked my local dealer about 2 weeks ago for the price on cycle carrier and they quoted £250ish for carrier and about £150ish for the tow bar bracket that bolts onto the vehicle behind panel on bumper. Not exact prices I know but hope it helps.

The price for the cycle carrier sounds right as according to the price list I have (which is from late 2005) the cycle carrier was £235. You would also need the multi height tow bar to use this which retailed at £247 in 2005. 1996 Discovery 1 300TDI ES Biarritz Blue, sold
1999 Discovery 2 TD5 ES Rioja Red, sold
2002 Discovery 2 TD5 ES Buckingham Blue, sold
2005 Discovery 3 TDV6 HSE Adriatic Blue, sold
2006 Discovery 3 TDV6 HSE Zambezi Silver, sold
2011 Discovery 4 SDV6 HSE Nara Bronze, sold
2016 Volvo XC60 D5 AWD Lux Nav Twilight Bronze, sold

So this won't work with the plug in tow bar that I have? ie I would not be able to tow caravan with bike rack in place?
If I had multi height tow bracket, would I be able to tow with cycle carrier in place?

The LR bike rack only works on the multi-height tow bar, not the swan neck detachable one. It will allow towing and carrying of bikes.
If you have the removable towbar then you're restricted to Maxxraxx- and they are having / have had 'production issues' with the swan neck adapter. Discovery 3 tdv6 7 seat Buckingham Blue
Had it since new - sold Jun 17 after 12 years and 214,000 miles
