If like many during the long months of waiting for my car I agonised over what valve caps to buy and finally bought and then fitted on day one of ownership. However, after 4 months and 4000 miles, found earlier this week with all the wet weather that two of them had welded themselves to the metal valve stem due to corrosion
Short trip to local garage who managed to get them off without having to replace the tyre valve and now consigned to the bin and replaced with standard black plastic ones.
Moral of the story...fit aluminium/alloy valve caps at your own peril!!!!!
