May i just mention? If your going to fit a set of locking tyre valves then you really MUST put some vaseline on the valves first... Corrosion causes the two metals to seize. Then your are really stuck when you get a genuine loss of pressure and the valve cap either seize or shears off! Trust me It happens all the time... |

Thanks for that rambling man, I really do need to get something like that. I have suffered at that hands of these do-gooder knobheads. While watching the Highland games in drumnadrochit, some let down my tyres whilst it was parked in a field and mine was the only range rover parked there. Not sure if they got disturbed as only 2 got let down and only about half way. But just shows how stupid they really are, the didn't notice the petrol station right next to the field, so 2 turns of the steering wheel and I was at the air machine. |
