| Wanred: Roof Bars and Box |
|
Anyone know where the best place to get these from at the best price? Wont really need the box again after I get back from trip on the 30th May, so maybe would hire it if there is actually a place to do this? Any ideas/knowledge would be much appreciated.

Would happily lend you box or bars if you were anywhere near me...
quite a few places rent the boxes though.
BP expo rack, xenons, knackered ball joints and a crumpled seat.

Do you have roof rails first off?
If so then I know TheLargeOne does a good price on the cross bars.
Re: Roof Box, not sure what set up is in UK on that but I guess some place like Halfords would do a good box at a good rate - willing to be shot down on this suggestion of course

Wow, Guys. What can I say?! Truly touched by your immediate responses and offers of help.
I've got the roof rails, at least I think I have if they're the same things you mention. Came with the Landy already fitted. Assume I would need the bars to fit to rails and then box on bars. If so I'll buy the bars and borrow/hire box off of one of you guys. I'm only down the road in Reigate and pass Reading area frequently. Thanks BCP, but I'm going the other way to Cornwall! Going Saturday 24th, Coming Saturday 31st.
I'll speak to Nick at Yeovil later. Let me know when next week is best for me to pick up.
Really appreciate this. Thankyou.
