I tell ye....you can't have **** all these days!!!

My sister bought me some subaru dust caps a couple of month ago,and i noticed the other day that some wan**er decided to help them self to two of them,i managed to get hold of another set,,this time ones with locking screws.Just got around to fitting them today and noticed another of the original ones gone FFS!!!!!!

If the thief is reading this....There only 12 quid a set so buy yer own,or if i catch you at it i'll chop yer fookin fingers off...Tosser!!!

Pain in the **** aswell,having to dig out the special tool every time i need inflate the tyres.... Rant over!

You might find that its some young ****** stealing them for his BMX. Now he's told a friend who's helped himself aswell

I wouldn't put the locking ones on my car mate, I've heard of ******* cutting the whole valve off just to get the locking ones off at their leisure.

I use steel caps from Halfords. Nice and robust, about £1.75 and not attractive to the *******.

This has happened to me lot's of times..... plastic black ones now.....

Kids on bikes..... well think about it... it's better than nicking wheels?

im with Bibo_boy on this one, black plastic ones on mine, got sick to death of kids pinching them about 18mths ago, went through 3 sets, black ones are cheap and cheerful kids dont want them!

Superglue them on.. problem solved

electrify the rims - they'll only do it once, a spare coil pack should provide sufficient charge to give a clear warning

think yourself lucky. I came out one morning to find my spoiler removed as well as the whole front end... lights, grill, spots...

Dan W

exactly the same happened to me, that's why suspects its kids

I went back to plastic ones myself. Young ******* used pliers to twist the anti-theft ones off. Silly thing is I live in a tiny village so could only be a choice of about 10 teenagers on their bikes... accidentally reversed over a wheel of abike left in the road t'other day...

Dan W

oooh that's a shame the bike wheel I mean

Isn't the air meant to be a bugger to get into those flush fit valves?

I use the spinning valves and they work well, pikey kids leave those alone but were even sad enough to nick the standard el cheapo black ones i tried

chrisdavidson152

I have had no problems so far, touch wood. You have to screw in a little adapter that brings the valve out a bit when putting in air. Its ok once you have done it a few times.
