Expecting another nipper but don't want to buy a bigger car to fit all stuff in when go on hols. Recommend me a purveyor of fine roofracks. Also any reason to go for specic makes like Thule or are they all much of a muchness?
www.roofbox.co.uk - cheap prices, all the kit you need, and very fast delivery. I always use Thule...you know that the stuff holding your bikes to the roof is quality, not some POS thats gonna break off at the first gust of wind.

Pretty quick delivery too
Thanks gents

Another vote for roofbox, their deals represent good value.
If you are a CTC member, you can get a discount too - but not on their package deals.
http://www.skidrive.co.uk/ worth a look too them and roofbox are usually the best 2.
I'd try to get manufacturer bars for your car off ebay. I have ford bars on my old mondeo and they're a world less hassle than thule/halfords bars due to less need for adjustability.
Halfords had/have 1/2 price on roofboxes
As another alternative, I've always found roofracks.co.uk to be really helpful, too.

Yeah - another Roofbox website user here....
One of the bike carriers I bought went wrong almost a yr after I got it and they handled the replacement excellently.

Bemused by this as don't find there's any 'adjustability' involved.
Place in Livingston called The Roof Rack Shop - [url] http://www.roofrackshop.co.uk/ [/url] - found them to be very quick delivery and often a few quid cheaper than other places. Quick at responding to any queries as well.
+n for Roofbox. Great service, great prices, configurator on the website to tell you what you need.

+1. Cheaper than Halfrods too.

If memory serves, I think that the current Ford bars are just Thule bars with a different badge.
the old thule bars I had on my volvo were a faff, and due to the bar shape/clamp design you had to unwind the clamp, then where the clamp sat on the roof, each time you used it. they might be different now
by comparison, the ford bars I use on the mondeo just drop straight on, clamp up, done. they were also cheaper (2nd hand) than the equivilent thules.
ski drive were cheapest when i got my bars and racks as well, very good service too.
Ah, when I bought some SAAB ones the main dealer was loads cheapest, just rebadged Thule bars aswell.
