D3 gone... D4 arrived !
Well my trusty old girl has departed to pastures new (with a forum member so not gone too far) and my rather nice 2015 D4 has arrived from the dealer this afternoon...a frantic hour of trying to fit accessories back before the rain hit (and hit it has) so I can relax tomorrow as the snow falls all around
The good old girl has gone
and this thing of beauty has arrived
I want to see the sweets before I get into your windowless van... I'm not stupid!

Love the D4 colour
But to be fair the D3 looked very well kept also "Track day running - Don't put your foot back on the accelerator until your absolutely sure you don't have to take it off again"

Thanks guys, drives really well but may need to change the tyres as they are oversize Grabbers (275/45/20) and I’d rather go back to the 255s.. very happy though.. 8)I want to see the sweets before I get into your windowless van... I'm not stupid!

Nice motor.
Now what you need to go with the boot rack is a lovely set of whisper quite roof bars and a good strong fixed tow bar.
Now, lucky for you I can help you out with these essential and must have accessories...

Thanks Moo but she already has a substantial fixed towbar (pig to get the spare wheel out to fit the protector) the roof bars might be of interest...
I have a cargo barrier from a older XC90... (might need a bit of fettling to fit ) maybe we can do a swap.... I want to see the sweets before I get into your windowless van... I'm not stupid!
