The gearstick on our FL 2 has started to squeak when changing gear, sounds like squeaking plastic. It goes once the car is warm. Any ideas?[/quote]

I used Silicone Greese, a small pot of which I bought from a plumbers merchant.
A common problem and really easy to fix in a few minutes.

(Of course assuming you've got any fuel to use the vehicle afterwards)

Been meaning to post about this for weeks. Glad I'm not the only one.

Will get the dealer to do under warranty as I've only had it a few weeks.

Had a go at my squeaking gearchange.

From the drivers seat, once the gear surround is removed, look down to the left of the ball and socket. There you will see a metal shaft and it squeaks where it enters the nylon bush on the left side of the shaft. Drop of oil sorted it.
I also noticed that the clear pvc tube at either end of the return spring were split. You can get this off ebay, it's 3mm bore x 5mm o/d. If you dont replace it, the nylon 6/6 moulding underneath will begin to wear.

Finally i smeared the ball with vasaline and warmed it with a hair dryer so it ran between the gaps.

All sorted now. Another member of the failed FL2 clutch/DMF club, twice.
