Can anyone recommend alternative RR/LR brand good value roof bars capable of carrying surf boards?

Just come up for sale on forum, but no price as of yet:

If they don't work out, then Thule are good - I've had several sets for different cars.

Depending on how wide & how many surf boards, you may be better with Thule anyway as they run the full width of the roof. The genuine rails/bars are more central & therefore not as wide - there's not that much in it, but worth checking.

Also, I think there are 2 official kits, one has a pair of rails that the bars can slide up and down, but the rails are permanently fitted, like this -

Again, this is really helpful particularly the photos! I prefer the fixed position bars as I would only occasionally ever use. Do you know how much these cost from RR? I can call my local dealer tomorrow to check in any case. Does anyone else produce bars which fit in the roof slots aside from RR? Thank you all for posting helpful notes & suggestions.

Thanks for this Alistair - I'll call them in the morning and check out delivery options.

The Ebay ones are a good price. I paid more than that for mine!

Worth noting that Bars with Rails (Moveable) can spoil the lines of the RR as they make it look "Fatter"

I just spoke with Matfords and apparently those bars are only suitable for a RR Sport not the Vogue which I have! He's going to keep me informed of any 2nd hand ones which they come across. I don't use roof bars that often therefore this would represent best value for me.

This is what I fitted to my TD6. Very happy with them

I hope you told Matfords to change their advert - it says L322 Roof Bars - L322 is the FFRR
