stephen1967 Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 Hi, thinking of changing my car in the new year. Quite fancy an x-type but would like to know if they are any good with a bike rack on. I know they will have plenty of power as I will be going for the diesel. My only concern really is ground clearance at the back when laden with the bike, They do seem to sit lower than my current car which is a Mondeo. Would like to hear from anyone who is using an x-type with a bike rack. Many thanks, Stephen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nelly1 Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 the x type pretty much is a mondeo it should be fine but as above you need the flange type tow bar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee99780 Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 Agree with Nelly ^^^. Same engine, steering and suspension even same keys. Just a different badge! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guys Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 http://mad-suspension.co.uk/index.php?route=product/category&path=2 I had these fitted to my Nissan when the weight of an LPG tank in the boot and a bike rack proved to much for the suspension Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
