    Lidl are selling roof bars (among other car stuff) from tomorrow, I think these have been sold before. Anyone got a set, are they any good? Seem like good value for the price, as anything similar in Halfords or Micks Garage seem to be about twice the price.

    €35 seems pretty good.

    these are on offer in Lidl again at 29.99 a pair. Picked some up today and was pleasantly surprised to find two pairs of bars inside!:D
    I guess they were meant to be unpacked for display (they were shrink-wrapped separately inside) but the box scanned through at 29.99 so who am I to complain?

    Are those axle stands worth buying

    I've the roof bars. They are fairly good. We went to France with a roofbox and it did the job.

    I have the axle stands and they're good. They fold up so they're really compact for storage.

    Bought the roof bars in the end (the original post was 3 years ago!). They work fine, easy to put on and I've used for transporting bikes, furniture and rubbish a good few times now. Bit noisy when on the car but I guess that's the same with any of them. Prompts me to take them off when I'm done which is a good thing.

    Got the axle stands before also and they are great.

    One of mine had a bit of a dent in it from when I nipped a bike carrier up too tight, but still worked for a few months, until the gorilla in the hardware yard pretty much dropped a load of timber onto them, rather than the conventional method of placing timber upon roof rails. To be fair they were probably overloaded.

    Your man then says to me " I see that happen all the time with the aluminium roof bars" No surprise when you're slamming 60kgs of timber onto is it :mad: Reminded me of the guy that goes "YARP" from hot fuzz :pac:
