[Wanted] Tow bar cycle carrier

Hi I'm looking for cycle carrier for detachable tow bar on disco4. There are 6 bikes to carry- I think max on tow bar is 4 so also looking for roof carrier for 2 extra unless anyone knows different.
I live in Kent but often in most of SE Hants to Essex to collect.
Anyone looking to offload same? Cheers.

I have an Altera DL3 plus the optional fourth bike adapter for sale. It has UK lights. See here: http://www.roofbox.co.uk/scripts/rbvehsel4_tab.php?AR2603

The rack is as new having been used twice only and the fourth bike adapter is still unopened in the original packaging. The Altera is well thought of and was the Auto Express best buy in 2013.

Will post some photos if you are interested? From Roofbox this package would cost Â£434.95. I am looking for Â£295.00 plus delivery, if I can find a Courier.

Sorry to clarify I can pick up in most of the South east, from Hants to Essex. Thanks

I recently bought and am v impressed with a Maxxraxx carrier. The 5 bike version is under Â£300 for the adjustable tow ball if bought new. Personally I think they're the best designed carriers.

6 bikes is a lot to carry and I'd put one in the boot rather than fork out loads more for a roof carrier just for one bike and incur the height restrictions and hassles getting it on and off. VR6 > 330D Touring > D3 HSE > !?XC90?!

i have in the past carried 5 bikes on the towbar using a Bak Rak system, and i would suggest similarly to put the sixth in the back!

Thanks for the replies. Actually we're most often only 5 so a five bike carrier seems best- thanks for the post Neoun2003 but I'll go down the five rack route. Bike in back doesn't work as when we're 6 one back seat is inevitably down so I probably will need one on the top.
I've also looked at the Thule easy- rack system as a luggage carrier as well as bike carrier- anyone got any experience of them?
Thanks again for all the responses.

Bak Rak system works as a luggage carrier, you then put a set of roof bike carriers on to hold the bikes. take them off and back to a luggage carrier! like the Thule system but cheaper and v sturdy
