I am trying to find a bike rack for a Discovery 3 that is rear mounting and doesnt rely on a tow bar that will carry 2 bikes, any solutions would be welcome as i am chasing my tail at the moment !!

Could have one fitted on the tow bar, may be a good idea to have two lightweight gas bottle instead of the heavy one fitted to help with the noseweight, good luck Trevor
Thule do a whole range that clamp directly onto the tow ball and I'm sure I've also seen an ad for another make that clamped a bracket around the swan neck below the ball allowing a trailer or caravan to be towed at the same time.
Try Googling Discovery cycle carrier and see what comes up?

Keith,
Thanks for taking the time to reply,
I have been in contact with Thule some time ago but they didnt seem to want me to have rack whilst towing a caravan and so said have a roof mounted carrier( i would need a ladder and some major muscles for that option! )
I think the clamp around the base of the swan neck sounds promising, so thanks for the idea.
Can you remember where you saw this ?
Right, I've just Googled 'Swan neck cycle carrier' and amongst the results I found Maxxraxx. This link should show you a clamp on mounting.
If you don't like the look of that one try using Google. (Other search engines are available!).
