    Hello
    Im in the market for a roof box for my Avant. I know Thule are about the best about but has anyone used the Halfords exodus range, if so what's the good and bad points.

    Cheers

    I looked at the Halfords ones and thought they were a bit overpriced for what they are. I plumped for the Thule one in the end because the design features and build quality were IMHO worth the outlay. I especially liked the way it fixed onto the roof bars via the rubberised 'pincers' on a thread. Great idea. On the Halfords ones it looks like you need two people to fit it on the roof bars, doing up U bolts etc and I reckon it would take about 30mins. We go camping and take the box off once we are on site - takes about a minute!

    Hi Andy,

    Obviously this will come across as bias, but most customers tend to go for most of the Thule range as its built with the end user in mind, plus its one of the leading manufacturers.

    We offer the Thule items cheaper than Halfords can offer their own branded items, plus we offer free delivery on pretty much all items over the phone with our Ebay team or via Ebay its self.

    I have included a example below so you can take a look if you wish.

    Thule Via PFJones Ebay


    Halfords own brand

    If it's the Thule Karrite Odyssey 360L that you want, it can be had much cheaper than the above links.


    Considering selling my VCDS KEY-USB interface. If you're interested please contact me via PM or email.

    If you find them cheaper anywhere else call us and ask for ebay and 99% we will be able to beat it.

    The price above was just an example.
