Just makes life easier with a tow bar mounted rack. There are racks for the boot but have heard of straps rubbing paint off spoiler on boot etc but cannot confirm so hopefully someone will be along that may use one.

it's a long way up even in access mode and then trying to secure it. If you accidentally drop it then there would be substantial damage or even a new moon roof!

You are right about bikes on the roof. Had gone with a camping weekend with a friend who took his kids bikes on the roof of his Q7 and exactly that happened when taking them down.

Thule also makes a very nice but also very expensive electro-hydraulic bike lift for the roof mounted bike carriers.............. price is probably more suited to Bentayaga owners than most RRS owners though 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

i have a DIsco4 / RRS towbar which i keep meaning to pop up for sale, not sure if it would fit yours though, then you would just need the electrics to light the number plate board as they are required now, unless you collect points |

To be honest I am just after something that will allow me to carry up to 3 bikes occasionally, 1.) to save ever having to try and put a bike inside the car and 2.) just to increase the range of places to ride.

So Called "Hollywood" bikeracks that hook over the top of the spoiler/top lip of the tailgate and onto the bottom of the tailgate damage the edge of the rear spoiler - they wear the paint off the edge quite easily 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

The other year I purchased a cheap 4 way bike rack from feebay IIRC £130 ish. My advice if you buy a model like this is get the newer one with the quick lock handle. My model has a bolt arrangement to lock the rack down onto the tow ball, takes about 10 mins to fit up. Fine for occasional use.
