If my memory serves me well, which it mostly does, it will go straight on.
Just realised the date of your post, knowing you it's probably fitted by now.

Re: will a landrover roof rack fit ?

A Landrover rack will fit, with a slight modification. A Landy has wider gutters and a narrower roof, so the most Landy racks can be modified. I have done this twice. Remove the brackets and flatten the bit that goes into the gutter with a good old hammer. When refitting set each bracket +- 1" further out, this might need new holes drilled for the bolts. And that’s it. They usually sit slightly high, and can look a bit odd, so if you have brackets made, order them 2" lower than the original ones. Alternatively fit a pair of driving lights, sandladders, high lift jack, shovel, jerry cans, bow saw, turfor winch and a few more things like I did, and it will look OK.

If you struggle, ask any time.
