Argyll Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Does anyone know where I can get a drawer runner for a 2004 Swift Lifestyle 480? The ball bearings have gone. I'd imagine Swift would bump a premium on these so would rather I sourced it myself. The runner is 375mm long 15mm wide. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Leedslad Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 The two drawers below the wardrobe in our Vision 450/2 made a bid for freedom when we encountered a particularly poor road in Belgium. The runners were trashed, so on our return I took a look at EBay and found an ad very much like the one above, posted by Eddie. I sent for some and they were perfect and are still as good today after a few years usage. John. Quote Never ask a man if he comes from Yorkshire. If he does, he'll tell you.

Argyll Posted October 16, 2020 Author Share Posted October 16, 2020 Thanks for the replies. I really wanted to know what they were called and from the Ebay site I found they're called Groove Drawer Runners. I bought 4 from Amazon for £10 on prime which will get to me quicker.

daveat92 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 I had 2 sets fail and replaced them both (not the same van as you) Not a difficult task for a handyman, but can be difficult to access the fixings. Beware loading them too much much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Argyll Posted October 17, 2020 Author Share Posted October 17, 2020 Thanks mate. I'm a handyman so fairly easy for me. I just wasn't sure of the name of them. I'm used to the euro drawer runners which seem to be the ones commonly used now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
