:plus:
Works a treat, just use it really sparingly, you dont want to put it on like toothpaste and end up clogging a jet!

I bought some from david silvers recently...had to buy the gasket set as they dont sell those seals individually. Costs around £17 a set and if your changing all 4, will cost a bit!
