I got my lube from my lfs, but if you cant get it from there i suppose you could try a hardware shop. PM kev or one of the shops and see if they have it.

The stuff you need to get is silicone lube , it allows the "O" ring to slide & not  jam & twist thus letting air & water past . If it is 3 years old you might want to get a new one & start again .

Looks like I'm off to the lfs(sounds like a good excuse to possibly get some more fish while I'm there. Hope wie falls for it.) Thanks for everyones advice.
