To go on an Xtrail, something <span style="text-decoration: underline;">like</span> a Thule 970 maybe? but just wondering if the rack bars will fit under the top tube ok.

Needs to be quick release & don't want one that you leave the wheels on the bike, the car won't be left unattended either.

Any advice appreciated!

Edit, It'll only have occasional use, If anyone has one they might want to sell? (checked on classifieds, can't see anything)

IMHO  if you are going to take the wheels off you might as well just put it in the boot

main issue is that  the top tube on the 5 is not straight so any of the  hang ones are a bit rubbish and you  need an adaptor

That's what I was wondering about Junky. The boot's gonna be crammed as it is.

This is initially for a trip to Scotland for the Scottish Six Days Trial, 1st week in May so we have to take all sorts including a load of fishing gear & clothing for EVERY weather condition. Plus we may (reluctantly) get shot of my Mondeo estate that I usually chuck the bike in the back of.
