So around £70 in tax. That kind of hurts when you see how cheap a microwave or CD/DVD player is now. I appreciate it's all about mass production but....

Not cheap admittedly. You'd be best off finding another from a scrap yard or removing the existing one, dismantling it (potentially breaking it open and gluing it back together with epoxy resin) and giving it a good clean and greasing up.

I've never found silicon lube, wd40 or 3in1 any good for long term stuff - short term yes but for the longer term i'd use something a bit thicker or even stuff from round the house like cooking oil.

Moons ago i had a computer with a very noisy graphics card fan - it used to sound like a bee! I peeled the label off and knowing that wd40 would stink and not do much good, I melted some margarine in a spoon and poured that into the fan bearing and put the sticker back over. It never made another sound after that!

Would Bacon fat work..... No scrub that, it'd just make me feel hungry all the time

Lol!
