Which roof rack for a 2005 110 Defender would people recommend on around a £200-250 budget? The current choices I have are either a second hand Bearmach BA123 or a new bolt together Bearmach BA008. I recently missed out on a second hand Brownchurch HD, so I don't expect to see another one for a while.

It is mainly for weekend use, so bikes and camping equipment will be going on it, and on occasion we might have to out some sort of board up there and a pop us tent. It will mainly be used on the south coast seaside towns, but on occasion up into the peak/lake district etc, and one or twice a year on a month long European trip.

Any suggestions/advice would be a big help

I'd go for a better second hand rack all day long. Bearing in mind what racks are used for it won't take long for any of them to start looking second hand anyway.
