The Surco Safari Rack 5.0 Rooftop Cargo Basket # SPS5084-T400 referenced in your question is designed to mount to aftermarket Thule Roof Racks.
For a Thule Roof Rack that is confirmed to fit your 2003 Land Rover Range Rover, I recommend the Thule Traverse Square Bar Roof Rack. This system consists of # TH712500 for the 60 inch Square Load Bars, # TH480R for the Rapid Traverse Foot Pack, and # THKIT1274 for the Fit Kit. Once installed, this will give you a sturdy roof rack system with a weight capacity of 165 pounds.
You will then be able to mount the above mentioned Surco Safari Rack Basket # SPS5084-T400. The basket will clamp around the Thule crossbars with the included hardware and features a sturdy but lightweight aluminum construction. The basket measures 84 inches long, 50 inches wide and 5 inches deep.
I have also attached a video demonstration on this carrier so you can get a better idea as to how it installs and looks.
