A lubricate called "never seize"

Its copper based grease and works like the name says.

wd40

WD40 Evaporates and dries up leaving you at square one again.

Silicone based spray should work tops.

I believe the white grease pencils to which yella refers above are lithium grease which is what I would be using.

Yeah, I'll have a look at it Mat. Somebody said that's what you use, so that's what I bought. Will have a look at the label and get back to you.

Goss Dri-Lube is what I have --> White grease pencil.

As with all things lubricant or adhesive wise, bugger all info that I can find on it.
