leaking vavle. NOT HAPPY!

[HEADPHONES]

Prepared all week for a nice drive from Manchester to Surrey for a wedding.

Wheels washed and sealed last week.

Car washed and waxed mid week.

Interior done yesterday along with a final wash.

7am I topped up screenwash.

Checked coolant and all.....all good.

Last check tyres.

One valve hisses as soon as dust cap is removed:-(

Had to set off early so had to abandon zed for our mini.

No MP3 capabilities.

No DAB.

No power.

Puny seats.

Grrrrrr.

 

Suppose it was better than losing pressure on the motorway and getting a blowout!

I should've got the tyre valves on my LMGT4s changed with the tyres 2 yrs ago.

That'll teach me to be vain wanting to keep their original metal valves (now 6 yrs old)

I hate dogdy vavles. Hobbirle things.

Trouble with yer valves could be a core issue

I knew a girl once who had problems with her vavle; doctor told her to stop putting vegetables in it.

ebay you can buy sleves that go over new vales keeping you metal look

I was watching the tyre fitter change the tyres on my Volks a few weeks back, and he took a standard valve off the shelf, unscrewed the inner portion, and screwed it into the internals of my metal valves... so you might be able to do that.
