Passenger door now has a loud creaking noise when opening...
Discussion
As per the thread title, can anyone recommend an ideal oil for lubricating the hinge?
Obviously WD40 won't cut it, and I've tried some normal motor oil (purely as I had some to hand when I first noticed it) and it doesn't seem to penetrate into the hinge enough to do anything. I have access to vast amounts of commercial grease for lubricating agricultural machinery, but no way of getting it into the joint. If only TVR had fitted grease nipples...
Is this likely to be solvable without removing the door or am I going to have to bite the bullet?
I did find a thread on here from 2010 where someone had the same problem but with the driver's door- but it doesn't appear to have reached a satisfactory conclusion!
Any recommendations of lubricants (ooh err) that might be up to the job, greatly received
