Laird Lugton and Numpty,
Its the Thule Euroway 923 carrier. Best thing I've bought for carrying bikes (other than the Discovery!) The carrier fits easily and folds down, even with 3 bikes loaded to allow access to the boot. The lower tailgate can also be opened but can't be used as a seat when the bikes are on.
Holds 3 bikes fine but could have done with having just 10mm more space to allow wider mountain bikes to not rub against eachother. I'm looking at buying the adaptor to add a 4th bike since the Discovery gives me more load space for kit and sits more people comfortably.
Ronp,
Yes Orange Alpine 160 bikes. The green one is the newer design.
Thanks,
Craig

Red Merie,
Just kept it nice and clean and did as much maintenance as I could. Sold it with over 90k miles and it was looking almost as good as new. Did a lot of upgrades to keep it useful to me such as new Audio / sat nav, rear camera, tow bar, roof rails, spare winter wheels etc. to the point where the only upgrade was to change cars!
Thanks,
Craig

I think the dealers should ban anyone from buying any other colour

Nice photo! The black grille and vents look pretty good. I saw them online but wanted to wait until I was settled with the car. Have you got a link to the grille?
Thanks,
Craig

Nice ride, but I'd seriously ask the dealers to check out that side strip. Looks fitted well too low unless you asked for it to be fitted that low?
