[QUOTE="johnsattuk, post: 619560, member: 183150"] The white grease is a water resistant grease, silicon grease is also good. You can probably get a small quantity of suitable waterproof grease from a bike shop/Halfords as used on headsets etc. Also from same source some fling resistant chain oil is good for the gears and bearings, clingy oil helps with the gear noise. It is likely to be the bearings that are sqeaking not the gears, most likely the main 8mm shaft that has the nylon pinion mounted on it as dries up through being exposed to the elements. The worm gear has adjustment for end float which if set up too tightly can sqeak a bit. If the motor is running OK the rest is quite easy to overhaul. :-righton I do have some spares [/QUOTE]
