    Hi Coldy

    I think this was discussed on the D3.co.uk web site some time ago. Try doing a search there.

    I used the Rhino tracks to as they do a short track for the front that lets me run extra bars.

    Sorry I could not be of more help.

    Cheers
    Rob

    Roof Racks

    I just bought roof racks and a cage for a new MY09 D3.
    The roof rails came from Rhino as did the Sportz bars.
    They fitted really well - I was very surprised!
    The cage came from Rola, which came in a kit with 4 u-bolt attachments that fitted nicely to the Rhino bars,
    The cage weighs only 17.5 kgs, so I take it off after a trip and leave the bars on the roof.
    They were all available in black, which is nice as well,
    They just fit 2 x 20 litre fuel containers and a 2nd spare wheel.

    see below,
    regards,

    Wyperfield

    Hi Wyperfield, any chance of a close up pic of the roof rack track, I am especially interested in the height of the track from the roof, as I want to ensure the track I choose has as little wind noise as possible and does not protrude too much as I will travel without the rack or bars 95% of the time. Thanks in advance!

    Rhino Rack - Roof Racks for LAND ROVER Discovery 3 4WD

    The catalogue I saw yesterday actually had a picture of a D3.

    I am about to use these Rhino Rack - Platform Rack instead of a basket to reduce wind noise....

    The Rhino Rack ones are actually lower profile than the LR ones.

    Thanks for that.
    As an update to my original post, Rhino make a square nut that fits nicely inside the Cross Bar and secures things via a 20mm Long x 6mm dia stainless steel bolt that has an Allen key cup head.

    The Rhino rack you reference looks better than the LR version as it seems to sit closer to the roof line.

    Cheers all for your responses,
    Coldy
