I have the all singing all dancing mirrors. The NS one has now developed an annoying squeak. I have done the usual move to re-distribute the grease in the mech but it only lasts a day or so before the noise returns. Will a squirt of penetrating oil do the trick or does it need dismantling to get at the offending bearing surfaces? FL2 Metropolis, Loire Blue, ebony/ivory

silicon oil I think, wd40 just acts as a glue attracting dirt At work

Used silicon spray on my last FL2 mirrors. It seemed to do the trick for a while before it needed another quick spray.

Many thanks guys. Silicon spray it is. FL2 Metropolis, Loire Blue, ebony/ivory

There have been many posts on this subject, use Search Facility. I use copper grease>

Unfortunately the search is not strong with this one (me). Other than the agreed method for re-distributing the existing grease I was unable to find any definitive answer as to whether a spray or full dismantling was required. Hence the question. Sorry if it disturbed you, but as others had given perfectly good answers I fail to see why you needed to comment. FL2 Metropolis, Loire Blue, ebony/ivory

But are they ? My dealer cured mine without adding any oils or sprays ! and a search may have found that !  FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

I used some Selleys Ezy Glide spray, which I already had for windows in the home. http://www.selleys.com.au/home-cleaning/lubricants/ezy-glide

Don't use WD40 or similar petroleum product.

While on the subject of lubricants, use graphite in locks, do NOT use petroleum products as they collect the dust & dirt & clog up the lock. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

I woke this morning in the season of good will with a lovely song in my mind. Then opened my emails



and there my friend is the answer and in respect of "I fail to see why you needed to comment." I best refer you back to the song.

Have a good festive season one and all.  FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years
