Guys and gals a big hello followed by a grovel and plead for assistance.

Just bought my first non Land Rover 4 x 4 - a 1999 Terrano 2 Touring could do with a little info
1 - Fan works only on 4 so am i right in assuming its the heater resistor ?
2 - Its got fixed roof rails and I am looking for a full length "safari "rack to fit - any ideas ?

I do have some x members that will fit the roof rails so could I buy a long rack from another make and fix it to the x members.

Any help greatly appreciated
Dazza

How do ? Welcome aboard :D
The roof rails will not take a massiveload, I think it's something daft like 70kg :eek: That's because the base(feet) are simply bolted on the roof with hardly any reinforcing under them. You could beef them up though but you'll need to drop the headlining for that :o
Good luck :)

Hello and welcome.

I have been wondering whether to get a T2 with the factory roof bars.

I would still need cross bars to fit a roof box or a rack, so I may as well just get the cross bars which attach directly to roof. They may even take more weight.

£20!!? :eek: , go to scrap yard you can take bits out for yourself. put it in your pocket or offer £5. I got mine with a fuel cap for £2.50.

Most of the roof racks that are non permanent can only hold like 80kg anyway.

I'd beef it up from below somehow.
