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 ;)

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. :)

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.
