Bike Carriers
Hi there.
Please can anyone recommend a 3 - bike carrier for a swan-neck QR tow hitch on a 2006 D3?
Cheers

Thule Euroclassic range. I think, like the Altera it can fold cleverly out of the way of the boot opening - you'll laugh at the poor idiots who bought one which hangs off the back at the side of the road removing their bikes to get in the boot for the passports (and I saw one like that where they hit a bump and the bike flew off the back and got run over by a truck.
And the fact that LR don't rate the upper tailgate to support bikes at all. I had a euroclassic after doing a group. Uy some time ago on here. Saving was a good one "To finish first, one first has to finish ...."
another vote for the Atera Strada DL - I've been using it for a couple of years. Reliable, secure and you can open the tailgate Rob aka gringle

I have a Mottez 4 bike carrier - only had it about 2 months but well pleased with it - the bikes are very secure, and it too folds down to gain access to the boot, and the good thing is it costs probably half what the other racks cost - so well worth the money too.

I have the Thule 3 bike one and it also folds down for access to tail gate. It's in Halfords for just over 100,i can recomend it then again if you can get the Mottez 4 bike one for £50 (excellent price)

Just that DJH68 said the mottez was half price of all other carriers,since i paid 100 for my Thule i asumed he must have paid 50 for the mettez. EDIT= oops sorry it was 119 not 100 http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/...yId_165477[url][/url]

sorry for being misleading - particularly to you discoduck.
I meant that the mottez was half the price of other "4 bike carriers", although i didnt say that
