A good coating with copper grease, especially into unused holes, will keep them good for years.

Should Copper Grease be used on electrical connections ?

Possibly not, Kevin. I would have thought petrolium jelly (Vaseline) might be better.

I smeared Vaseline all over the ones that I fixed and then taped them in electrical tape. Don't know if it will do the trick but it's better than nothing.

You should not have a problem Dizzy as Vaseline is what`s recommended for the battery terminals.

What a very strange euphemism! lol Can't help but wonder if Kevin had thought of that one...

I think you can put copper grease on electrical connections (I've seen it advertised with "battery terminals" as an application), but since it's metallic might it not cause shorting?

With a name like Rasputin I suppose you just like the smell of it to mask the underbonnet smells.

Yup there is, some times it comes out as "Chelsea Supporter" sometimes its "Oops I typed a naughty word" and the other one I have noticed is "I love Skodas" or something along those lines, it makes for a confusing post

With this messageboard and the club in general being 'family based' we have to have a filter. These are the club rules, which is why sometimes if someone has been 'clever' and spaced out a swearword or 'tricked' the filter then the moderators have to step in and remove it!

I am very much for freedom of speech in general, but if it's a family oriented club then I suppose we can all behave!!

although I did get the word 'bleeding' removed from the filter as talking about brakes was getting difficult!! :lol:
