DD's pan drawers now all finished and taken into use, the surplus doors and shelf ahe will stash in her loft, just in case.

She bought the matching drawer fronts, and the metal fully extending runners and sides, I made the bases and backs from panels they were giving away at Ikea, and the high level side rails are recycled Ikea blind rods, Existing handles were reused, so total cost £110 plus my time.

My next task is to make a lid rack that will fit in the spare space in the top drawer.

Tomorrow we are invited there for dinner as a "thank you".

Ours only has about 35k miles on it, so hopfully it will keep going a while yet.

Only problem has been a manifold gasket that blew (known fault, apparantly. Car got home in limp mode. Pity they didn't recall it if it was a known fault, but repaired under warranty).

Oh, and the lock for the detachable towbar stopped working......also done under warranty.

Other than that it's just been serviced and a replacement set of tyres (and I've been very pleased with the Nokians).

I do like the look of the Toureg though........and the new XC90. But as you say, the latter is very expensive.

Our towball lock also failed, but out of warranty.

Yes, we have the same Nokians, they are good.  First tyres did not last long, but since then we have been getting around 30k miles from each set.  The Nokians are our 3rd replacement set.

Happy New Year to everybody. 😀 Unfortunately here in Notts it has dawned dull 🌧 and wet. So not so good for a New Year's Day walk.☔️ Fetching mother from care home later, for tea. Plenty of Christmas cake still to eat.
