Forgive me, I have no doubt this subject has been done to death but I'm struggling to find an answer. I've managed to get hold of one of these which seems to be the preferred weapon of choice for the job...  I've found loads of stuff on this forum and t'internet about actually doing the job, frequency, remote kits etc. but I'll be blowed if I can find anything that tells me what sort of grease to fill the gun with  Recommendations gratefully received. And sorry for the dumb question

I have used this one for 14 years and it works well, others are available too. Available here http://www.halfords.com/motoring/engine-oils-fluids/grease/comma-cv-lith-moly-grease-500gNo such thing as a silly question in these parts everyone on here has questions too. You have the best of guns there, I have a Draper run of the mill thing.

Grease containing molybden is well suited for sliding movements, bonds with the metal surface, and is relatively resistent to washing out with water. Therefore it is well suited to difficult and moist environments like the front suspension with it's sliding pillar. So this is what I use, as opposed to grease meant for roller bearings.
Filling up a Wanner can be quite messy, and what is mostly available in any car equipment shop or even gas station is standard cartridges, meant for bigger grease guns. So here is what I do: I have a cheap standard grease gun with a cartridge inserted. Open up my Wanner, and simply fill it up from the bottom using the bigger gun. No mess, no spill. Cost you a few quid more for the bigger gun, but no need for high quality. Think I could do it wearing a white tuxedo.....
