Dear Lads & Lassies; From personal experience in driving a1969 Karmann Ghia Convertible, that VW Oil/Grease lasts forever in the steering box. Of course that grease is what we use in our VW / MG steering box comversions. No Leaks. Obtainable at your friendly VW dealer. Tally Ho!

I've also seen testamonials for this stuff: http://www.9gwoman.com but I've never tried it as I had already used the Penrite when I heard about it. Seems a little pricey to me though. Regards, Charles Hill 1939mgtb wrote:

When we got it it came in a handy squirt bottle and we warmed it up and it flowed nicley. I think it is a good product and worth looking into. Joe [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

All I used to do was mix up a bit of grease with some 140 grade oil, works like a treat Ross in Tea Gardens
