I know that my chrome dust valve cap mod was one that you all stood back to admire.................................
OK, so nobody actually knew I had them, but I DID
No not theft for a local BMX, when I went to test my tyre pressures this morning, I found all but one to be totally stuck on the valve.
I have had such metal dust caps for a few years now across a few cars and have never had this problem.
Long story short, mole grip and plyers, WD40 these were not comming off without the valve with them.
Trip to local Tyre shop, he finsihed my sentance for me when I said "I have metal dusct caps and they are...."
Apparently quite common.
It only cost me £10 to have 3 new valves fitted to car, which I am happy with.
Crappy black plastic dust caps for me from now on.
Learn from me, I would not have believed it, but be warned.
