I'm after a tube of Shin-Etsu Silicone Grease but would rather not spend £26 on it through eBay. Can anyone recommend any cheaper places to buy it from?

Try your local RS Components store, they do silicone grease in tubes.

Hi Carisma
How about this stuff?
Threebond silicon grease.
I use it on caliper brake slider pins aswell as other places

Its primary purpose will be on the rubber window seals / guides as my passenger side window is sometimes a bit sticky and I can hear it squeaking along the rubber. I've tried some Halfords silicone grease spray which helped only a tiny bit so I wanna try something better than the Halfords stuff now.

That's interesting, never thought to use it on caliper slider pins, I generally use copperslip for that purpose. Silicone spray may also work for the door rubber / sunroof seal issue as well.

We use
at our place chaps. Have done for years. Use it on everything, pin sliders, pad backings, pad contact points.
