hi all today i did an gearbox oil change on the 855 it was not real dirty looking and no metal bits around however the gears are stiff when you first start driving and loosen up to normal after a few miles i know the linkage is via cable can anyone tell me if these can or should be lubricated ? also the front windscreen wiper arms are knackered and seem impossible to obtain the correct one! i looked all over the web in the uk and ended up using r and d car spares in sweden not realising there lh drive only suppliers so now stuck with arms that dont fit and cost more to send back than there worth! :roll:
the breakers here are crap and lazy if you cant remove a part with a machine they wont remove it and so much good stuff is wasted right hand drive parts seem harder to find.
if anyone can help with the wiper arms id be grateful,cheers all
