Bike rack to use on 110 and D3 - but not at the same time!
Any suggestions? I have searched but not found a solution yet and given that decent ones are not cheap and you've got to store them I wondered if there was a nice solution that would allow me to use on both my LR's and I'm hoping that it will not be roof mounted for obvious reasons, so expecting to be disappointed frankly Confused

How many bikes? You could use something like a Maxxraxx which is tow bar mounted

kmac - thanks for the reply, but would be flexible on number of bikes but 2 min and 4 max.

It does look like they will do a bespoke rack that fits on the tow ball so might possibly fit both Defender with bolt fixed tow ball and Discovery with swan-neck type but hate to think what it might cost Confused

The Swan neck maxxraxx says:

Designed for Swan Neck tow bars but can be fitted on to the ball of any tow bar. - See more at: http://www.maxxraxx.co.uk/bike_racks_car_c...MkHal.dpuf

I have a http://www.pendle-bike.co.uk 4 bike rack and it has a bracket that sits behind the tow ball for the rack to slot in to http://www.pendle-bike.co.uk/shopping/type-approval-mounting.php# . You could buy a bracket for each vehicle.
