Surely, roof boxes are universal fit? I know Land Rover sell certain sizes, but that doesn't mean they'll only fit certain models.
Thule are good but there are plenty of alternatives. Just find one you like the look of. Of course, there's the obligatory warning about not exceeding the roof loading - if I don't say it then somebody else will  Darren

Can't help you with a LR roof box as I have a Thule one:
 Click image to enlarge Upside to the Thule was the quick fitting using the Thule screw clamps so it went off and on in no time. The thing about roof boxes that I have found is that I don't want it fitted all the time (height), and it does take up precious space in the garage even though it clamps onto a roof support. I used it all the time when caravanning as I also took an inflatable so all its gubbings went into the roof box, but since using a trailered boat the roof box hasn't been used since. Bit of a waste of money as it was only used a handful of times. Just my tuppence worth

They do but they're a lot smaller & I really don't fancy having Halfords stuff  They also do Thule but as far as I'm aware most are quite small. It also has to fit my Mantec bars. |

Thule do a wide range of sizes, as do Halfords and Kar Rite (and probably others). Take a look here: http://www.roofbox.co.uk/roof-boxes/. There's a load of guidance on how to choose the best box for you on there, amongst other things. Once you've found the one most suitable, check out eBay.
Don't be too dismissive of Halfords - their boxes get good reviews, as do Kar Rite and Kamei ones. Darren 110 USW BUILD THREAD - EXPEDITION TRAILER - 200tdi 90 BUILD THREAD - SANKEY TRAILER - IG@landroveranorak "You came in that thing? You're braver than I thought!" - Princess Leia |
