Hi all - new to the Forum, so I'll introduce myself. I've got a red 90XS Defender, about 18 months old now which I had Kleentected by Chris Parkinson at Newbury last year. Love it to bits , wife not quite so sure. Went touring Switzerland this year and had great time - good fun taking a Landy round the Swiss mountain roads and hairpins. We are going to go to the Continent again next year and want to take the cycles, so the question is, where is good place to get a rear mounted cycle rack that bolts behind the rear wheel on the back door (if you understand me) - no towbar fitted. Thanks - Rob

ive got a paddy hopkirk one that fits onto the back door i got it off a bloke i used to work with. its meant for a hatchback but because the bottom rail rests on the spare wheel it fits perfect. they sell em in halfrauds for about 40 quid i think the only down side is storing the bastard when its not in use
