O just need to grease up the wooden slides has anyone got any suggestions?
Why not shave a couple of MM off the the bottom of the runner on the drawer then mount some bearings sitting pround by the same amount in 3-4 places. You would need to cut a segment out of the runner to fit the bearing in, could do it with a Forstner bit or router. The drawer would then run on the bearings and be super smooth. IID PRO

Forget the rollers, timber on timber Ok. Candle wax is the go not silicon spray for longevity.

Last night I put some of the stuff from lake land on (link earlier in the thread) and let it dry then put the draw back in and OMG what a difference! That stuff is amazing!
The draw now basically falls out of the boot once you release the latch and it slides effortlessly. Is now all finished and perfect loaded up with tow stropes, rather straps, halfords tool kit, shovel, wheel brace & of course the D3 Haynes manual (hopefully won't need that!)

I'm glad the Lakeland Free-n-Easy worked well.
I find that when it's used on wood, it needs to be re-applied several times until a layer builds up. Then it will only need a new application every year or so depending on use. 2006 D3 HSE (Original & still the best)-GONE
2010 D4 HSE (A bit bling)-GONE
2014 D4 HSE (Almost too bling)-GONE

v nice.
re kitchen draw slides, I'd be wary as they are typically rated to about 25-35kg, which is rarely enough for the kit we tend to fill drawers with - so they'll fail quite quickly.
