Are the hinges on the back door strong enough to open it with a bike rack and 2 bikes fitted.
If the door does fall off, keep it to yourself OK?
Out of interest, what bike rack are you using? The wife bought one that hangs on the spare wheel (£5 off eBay) only to find out that half the bike now hangs over the footpath trying to kill pedestrians
Does any one else open their door with bikes attached.
i have a Simbars modified from Discovery it carries four bikes, 2 adult 2 smaller, no problems.
this carries them within the confines of the FLs width.
Was there much work required to modify it? A quick search on eBay shows a couple of simbar carriers, the one for the Freelander is currently running a few quid more then the Discovery one, and with more time to go...
If it's a simple mod I might take a punt, the Missus is peed off about the one she bought and this might cheer her up

We are in South Wales.
The tow bar types are out for two reasons; one we have two big dogs who travel in the back of the FL and need to get out now and then to pee, two we use the FL to tow a caravan and tat sort of needs the tow bar
im sure most of the towbar ones are detachable via a rclip/pin system and also prop fold down out of the way, and i dont think most actally use the tow ball but bolt on behind the tow ball instead?
im sure some one will correct me if i is wrong.....
if you can weld ud make 1 for peanuts id imagine, or if you know a plumber/pipe fitter with a pipe bender job done..
