[Wanted] Thule 3-Bike Towbar-Mounted Bike Rack
MrsK wants to carry mountain bikes on her Evoque.

Roof bars are a non-starter, so looking for a 3-bike Thule Carrier - Towbar Mount

We really one that has the ability to hinge (looking at the site there are different versions), so she can access to boot without major de-racking,

Looking at the Gumtree and Halfrauds, the Thule 9403 is about £155 new, and change hands for about £90 second hand (in mint condition)

If you have one for sale, open to offers Thumbs Up

I travel round Scotland and Northern England frequently for collection.

Cheers Defender "Puma" 2.4 110 County Utility (possibly the last of the 2.4's)

Here you go Martin. It could do with a couple of rubber straps (they were missing when I bought it). Apart from that it's in good nick. Gimme a shout if you're interested. There's also a spacer for the tow ball that I'll chuck in with it Smile

Can you use that Thule rack on a Defender? Doesn't the spare wheel foul the first bike on the rack?

Don't think these will fit a Defender easily because of the spare wheel. You would need a spacer... Defender "Puma" 2.4 110 County Utility (possibly the last of the 2.4's)

I think its only the Pendle that works with the Defender.

If there is a cheaper tow bar mounted solution that carries the bike by the wheels rather than 'hanging' on the frame i'd be interested too.

On my previous cars I've used this,

Its great, very easy to fit, locks on and folds down allowing you access to boot.


I thought on the defender you can just get a longer bar to push it out beyond the spare?

Otherwise this is not going to fit my Defender Sad
