What grease gun and grease to buy?

Being totally non-mechanical minded, can someone post me a URL with a link to buy the correct grease gun and connectors I should buy along with the correct grease for the various nipples on the underside of my 2.4 Puma 110.

thanks

Just remember that the flexi-hose isn't rated for the same pressure as the rigid pipe.

Dont bother with standard general purpose grease!!!

I use the grease I put in my excavators. Cant remember what type its called MDP?. moly di something or other I think. Its really sticky and is brill for propshafts as it keeps them lubed for ages.

Check the rating as the bog standard stuff turns into a liquid quite quickly and thats why people are always greasing them up. Hope that helps and makes sense (its late and ive just got in)

Probably molybdenum disulphide, widely used as an alterrnative to graphite as a lubricant.
