Anyone able to recommend me a bike rack for the above car? Just purchased one without a towbar or roofbars and am having trouble finding any that fit, other than one made by Pendle.

Would like a Saris Bones, but can't find a list of compatible cars, and they don't look like they would fit an estate.

Bit of a long shot I know, but..... you dont ask...

    Hi Will

    Maxxtraxx do bike racks for estate cars and 4x4s which fit onto the towbar and swing forward to allow the tailgate to open. They are also pretty secure, and allow for mounting the bikes even when towing a caravan, etc.

    cheers

    I had a saris bones for my clio. The reason you can't find a list of cars they fit is because they fit every car (even a Zonda I'm assured).

    Anyways, I got one for my clio but the second time I was out with it I got stopped by the police as when the bikes were on it, they obstructed my licence plate and brake lights.

    Told to go straight home and if he saw me using it again I'd get a ticket.

    I now have a roof mounted cycle carrier which I'm very pleased with.

    edit - I have the Saris bones (3 bike version in yellow) for sale now if you're interested, just be aware of your brake lights.
