Mine has molyslip in, in an attempt to quieten the input shaft bearing.

Doesn't work :angry:

I imagine other snake oils work equally badly :unsure:

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

far too easy, and not quite what facade says.

thanks for the input though and I am thinking that your advice is probably the best option

Beware though, especially on older models the plugs may not have been removed for some time, and easily round off. For this reason it may be a good idea to slacken off the filler plug before attempting to remove the drain plug or you may get it emptied and not be able to refill!

good point, I've been soaking the plugs in plus gas fow a few days so hopefully they'll come out easy-ish! I like the idea of opening the fill before the drain, very good idea
