I rarley use mine as usually use the back for camping equipment
if its just one or two going along. Its value comes in
transporting my fishing kit and bits of wood, much more
versatile machine with one fitted.
I did a test and it doesnt affect fuel economy that much
(compared doing the same run with and without roofrack and
difference was negligible) however it does knock the top speed
down by about 7mph. Didnt notice much difference in handling
however Ive always had the roofrack on since ive had (apart from
2 weeks) so may just be used to it

If it is a proper brownchurch bolt on rack you will notice that
the holes line up perfectly with the rivets in your gutters
Therefore you can just replace the rivets later if needed

all you have to worry about then is that land rover put the
rivets in the right place :p
