    Not wanting to appear a smart arse, but... how about putting some other items onto the roof rack, like camping gear or what ever you want to load behind the rear seats. I personally never did and wouldn't feel comfortable if I should, but others are driving around with jerry cans on the rack.

    As for the Disco rear door, a filled jerry can is not heavier than a full-sized spare, so I think it should work out alright.

    Have a nice trip!

    There are people who spend all weekend cleaning the car.
    And there are people who drive Discovery.

    Yeah,

    Never had any problems yet, I carry three up top on my 85 county with a 1.5 tonne strap holding them together, I have a full length steel roof rack that also carries the spare tyre and the roof tent.

    The county roof gutters are steel though, I think the deffenders are aluminium so just be carefull of load. especially when the trip gets a bit rough.

    For long corrogated trips I would prefer to remove them, of course unless you had them firmly secured up top like a twin jerry can holder that is bolted down.

    My isuzu county had two single jerry can holders on the rear.. Much Better.
