    Was looking for a Thule roof mounted carrier last year and found Sandicliffe to be the cheapest source. I think they will do a "click and collect" from your nearest dealership

    They have the 921 for £238 - not much but a bit cheapoer than your searching has turned up.

    Don't worry about the Mazda reference as they are universal towbar devices.

    ^^This^^ but go through www.roofbox.co.uk/show13 before the 31st and get an extra 10% off

    I would look at the Atera range, a bit cheaper and I think better !!!

    I went for the Altera-Strada DL 2 which is plenty for me. Nice piece of kit well made and easy to use

    Another thumbs up for the Atera-Strada DL. I've actually got the 3 bike version but otherwise the same as the DL2.

    A great bit of kit... easy and quick to load, very secure and no damage or marks to the bikes.

    I have the Strada DL like the one above, but I have the three bike with the fourth bike
    adaptor. I looked at both Altera and Thule and opted for the Altera as I liked the way it
    moves away from the back of the vehicle for access to the boot.

    Not very much to pick between the two makes to be honest, just Altera is a little cheaper.

    The cheapest i can see the Atera DL2 is £314.95

    Hell, that's quite a lot. I only paid £355 for the 3 bike with the fourth bike adapter and delivery.
