Hi,

We are currently on the lookout for a roof box for our car (Ford focus).I've found the following roof box on Amazon. It would appear to be a good price, however I'm not sure of the pros & cons and what I should be looking for?

Can anyone help?

Thanks in Adv
Paul

There is a link on here - ( somewhere ) to the Roofbox company - well I rang them and have to say - best outfit I'v spoken to for a long time - they know their stuff and they are a lot better on price than anyone I have come accross - they give sensible advice - tell it as it is !

Thanks for the reply Simon. I've been on their website today having a look at all the different type of boxes. I think I'll give them a call tomorrow and see what they say.

 

Cheers

Paul

Your welcome Paul -

 

I would sooner spend £150 on a box that will do its job - look good and last - than save a few quid and end up regretting it -

Oh I think I spoke to barbara - their customer service manager - very helpful  they even throw in the bits and bobs you need to go with the box ( like a hanger for storage ) which would cost you £20 elsewhere
