Um my right hand shifter had got a bit sluggish recently and failing yo return as above.
I investigated a little - took the hood off and had a look at the ratchets etc. The whole thing was full of black gloop - a combination of grease, sweat from turbo sessions and road dirt. Cleaned it up with gt85, lubricated with mineral oil and it's working perfectly again.
