just fitted and used the Maxxraxx carrier.... has capacity for 5 bikes, but gives me more room for the 4 i have. I think you can get different configurations to fit the detachable towbar....

I've got a Thule towbar rack. It was cheap and works very well. See http://www.disco3.co.uk/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=435
Same as mine...
Two issues with it though. Well Three as I just remembered another...
1. You have to tighten it up DAMN well or it swings
2. Unless you organise your bikes correctly (and with practise) you end up not being able to fit three on at all
3. The bike nearest the D3 will foul the rear wiper

I've not found any of these problems. The only thing that isn't ideal with it, is the tilting mechanism - you have to undo two hand nuts/knobs to remove a 'J' shaped clip - this isn't as convenient as the releasing leaver on the better Thule bike racks. Still, it's very cheap for what it is. Matt
