Nice gesture!

I know how frustrating it can be when Sod's law kicks in. Obviously it's not a totally selfless offer but genuine all the same.
Hopefully for wlm's sake it won't be needed.

Probably wouldn't do any harm to chuck a tube of molyslip in gearbox as well, the graphite content may help flatten out any pitting in bearing surfaces as James described

As long as you realise that to 'go where WLM goes' will give your shiny 90 a distinctly 'used' patina

That thought had occurred.. which is why I mentioned 'Shiny'. I don't mind it getting muddy but I didn't want to remodel it just yet.
So I realize the offer of a shiny ride might not be wanted anyway.
