does this fit a Disco?
« on: May 30, 2007, 17:30:37 »
I have been given a Defender roof rack like this http://www.roofrackshop.co.uk/land-rover-discovery.htm and it is very similar to the Disco one, however i have already got one fitted and i need to know if the defender one fits a disco? Phoned up the guy and he didnt want to open a box to find out! I ahve done some prelimenary measurements, but it all a bit too close, anyone fitted one?

I'm sure Graeme gtomo2 has a defender one on his disco, Graeme had to extend the height of the legs though.

Unless the legs are adjustable width wise then forget it.
