    i have had these fitted but one of the tyres started to lose 2-3 psi every couple of daysso the peaple who ftted them suggested taking them off
    i want them fitted to my new blade but a differant place has said they are rubbish! the cap rusts so do bother!
    has anyone had problems with these fitted? or are they as bad as i have been told?
    does anyone know anywhere in/near bucks who will fit these?
    cheers

    Had mine on for 6 years and not had a problem! But do use plastic caps instead that have a indicator to show air loss

    had mine on for a good while and during winter months, only thing i did which i do to most threads is to apply some ally grease.

    The two places near me fella are getting hard work! One can't do things properly and the other doesn't want to do much unless its something he's suggested and going to earn a lot doing! He spent years telling me I need power commanders but now he's into ECU's he says the PC's are rubbish!!!
