Hi Mr Cookeh (I used to look in here often for my 240 Est., but haven't for years) -

I am in serious need of a roof rack - but can find zero information on specs, differences between models, fitting or purchasing, and surprisingly find very few mentions of one on here, until I find your post. I have an 'R' 1997/8 V70 without bars, it just has two holes over the front and rear door heads (800mm apart) and the handbook is right on that - but the Haynes has nothing. (Presumably Volvo started fitting rails the year after mine or for other trims, and all current setups are bars that clip onto these.) Do you have it, & fixing screws if any, and is it a rigid rack, or two crossbars? Could you send me a couple of photos so I can see what i need to be dealing with? Your price is fine - can you give me an estimate for parcelforce or couriering it to me in Gravesend (Kent)?

Many thanks - Dan C
