Bongo Fury

I want to lubricate my roof lifting mechanism but am not sure what to use and where to use it. It would be great if someone could post a photo showing where to put the grease or where a spray or 2 of WD40 should be aimed.
Thanks, Dave

i sprayed wd 40 on the metal struts onve the roof was erect, then i put it down and back up a couple of time sparaying the bars evreytime

Also, lightly grease the bottom runners that the wheels slide along.

I have used a white grease aerosol. This gets the grease well into the wheels and other small mechanisms, and some small juddering I had has has gone away.

I use chain lube, but carefully as it is mucky brown.

Could i ask where you purchased the white grease aerosol from sandstone? Is it commercially available? ... it sounds ideal!

Halfrauds have it along with a whole range. Look for Lithium. It's excellent.

I used a Comma white grease aerosol which is exactly the same price and tin size as Halfords - probably the same grease. It is excellent for getting a small amount of good quality grease into hinges, plain bearings, slides, etc. The Big advantage is that the grease is effectively forced under pressure by the aerosol into the gap between the sliding surfaces, and does not leave great dollops of grease afterwards. It's ideal for door hinges and locks on the Bongo, and has 1001 uses on slow moving frictional surfaces, and I think makes much better long term lubrication than the universal easing/lubricant sprays, which seem to largely vapourise after a while.

Thanks chaps....
