Tyre Valve Cover's

[euan]

Yup, I heard those too, that's why when the car was garaged they were loosened off and then tightened up again before the car was driven.

Mind you, on an old mini, rusting valve caps is the least of your worries, it's the rest of the car you worry about!

MINI now do some cool Chequered or Union Jack Valve Covers

I've also heard horror stories about locking valves, where they corrode and jam on the stem. Have to get the tyre deflated and taken out to get them off.:(

Just ask Big Col (remember him) about the trouble he had getting his off

It was actually the Service Manager at Dunedin Selkirk who told us about the problems with locking valve caps.

Put us right off the idea.

I was once told by a local car shop that the crome cover sleeve things for the valves are ok for shows but wouldnt recomend driving around all the time with them as they can rub at the valve underneath and cause damage. Not sure how true it is but id keep an aye on it.
