Bike Rack Question

Hi all

Hello from Hong Kong.

I am planning to buy a bike rack for my D4, however, I could not find anyone using this (Tow Mounted Bike Carrier) http://accessories.landrover.com/inter/acc...5097473746

Therefore, could anyone kind enough to guide me where to start with? What do I need apart from the rack?

last question, do i need to remove the plastic thingy between the sensor?

My mate has the same rack as above, I have thule 9503 bike carrier out of the 2 we find mine alot better than the above.
They both tilt with bikes on, the one above is easier to tilt .. mine has better bike separation , no need for packing cloths you wiil need to remove the plastic thing to plug your electrics in and then fit your tow bar underneath

 Now Renault Trafic

Hi mate thanks for the prompt reply. How is the price between them? So if I get the one you have, do I need get something the tow bar first? Is it better to get the oem one?

Thanks

Hi mike

Could you please ask your my friend if he could tell me all the necessary parts number, in order to have bike rack mount on to my car?
