Grease Gun

Older cars have more grease points that require attention more regularly, so it makes sense to invest in a good quality grease gun. This 120cc model from Laser Tools costs around £15 from most retailers and should last well. More details from www.lasertools.co.uk, or buy it for less than a tenner from your local Halfords.
