Hi, can anyone help me - I just wondered if it was okay to use medium moly grease in grease nipples? It says in the book 'LM' grease, but I have loads of Moly grease - does it matter? Thanks!

Moly goes a bit liquid in use, doesn't it?
The book says a lithium based grease so LM would be the one for me.

I would say that any grease is better than no grease, but get the lithium grease when you can, and use that.

it all depends whether you put the landy under harsh conditions, wading, deep mud, long hard runs or whether you just tootle about on local runs, if its working for a living then get the right stuff asap if not then get the right stuff soon-ish
