Lo Peeps

My mirrors are getting noisy when folding.
Is it just a case of lubrication and if so what should I use ?
Was thinking WD40 but thought it was best to ask
Thanks in advance

Cheers

Good wash out and a bit of silicone spray.

If that doesn't help, try this thread:

Thank you
Is there any particular silicone spray as I am pretty sure I haven't got anything like that ? , this might come across as a daft question but not clued up on things like this

Cos its a 5 minute job and we all know them are the ones that take all day to do  If it dont work.......burn it!

If the IId tool cant fix it.......burn the FF.

If the FF cant be fixed......buy a Land Cruiser!

If the LC cant be fixed..............................................BUY a horse !!

Daft questions Dave are the ones you already know the answer to... I was wondering what type silicone spray too.

Think I like the idea of the silicon spray as me doing something like that will more than likely end up breaking something but hey I might have a go at taking it apart

Many Thanks for the advice

Time to take the beast out for a run to Costa's for a fix considering what an awesome day it is and probably Halfords after but not the Uxbridge one as I got a ticket there the last time I went in there.

You only get an hour and I didn't even realise there were parking restrictions but the nice manager at Halfords emailed the parking company and cancelled the ticket

I used the WD40 'specialist' PTFE spray seems to have done the trick.


Edit. it's specialist, not pro.

@ happymadison1978 Thank you

I might have a go at that , did get some professional silicon spray from halfords yesterday but might try the WD40 Specialist PTFE.

When in halfords yesterday, I couldn't get over how many different types of WD40 they do now

The only problem with going into halfords things get stuck to my hand and end up spending a fortune and then taking most of it back ( yes I know I am a sad case )

Haha I'm exactly the same... it's more or less how I ended up owning so many rattle cans of various solvents/lubricants/protectants

Just kidding, I don't have a guinea pig, before they send thee RSPCA round!

"Nothing in my house squeaks! (the guinea pig was a little perturbed when I inserted the straw! "

That's because you inserted it in the wrong end, very common mistake.

Wondered why it hadn't blinked in 45 minutes.
