I suppose everybody going to say, that they already got them.
But to those that don't, here goes.
These are replacement valve caps, just so well made in metal.(they are heavy construction).
You have to buy them to suit your car's tyre pressure. Like my pressure is 29 lbs so I brought 30 lbs. because they are sold in even numbers. (Like 26,28,30,32 and so on).
So you pump your tyres up to your correct pressure (cold) and screw on the cap.
You will here a hiss and the end of the cap will show green.
when you loose a certain amount of pressure, like 3 to 6 lbs, you will see a yellow ring around under the green.
Then if you loose say 6 to 10 lbs you will see a red ring.
Well what am I doing telling you all about it; go to Ebay and input 7935323622.
This shows a little demo.
They are £11 for four plus postage of £1.
I got a catolgue where they are being sold at £6.99 for four plus postage of £2.95.
So its about the same.
So all I need to do is walk around the car and glance at my tyres and no more bending down, un-screwing caps and pushing on a gauge then replacing the cap, four times over.
But be aware, Waxacar on Ebay is selling some pressure guards, not the same they are cheep plastic, no where as good made as the metal ones. These will not seige on with corroding because of the type of metal they are made of.
At first I had four stolen, but then the person I obtained them from told me about anti-threft locking nuts.
I did not know about these at the time so I have now got these fitted and no further problem, but if the thieves have a spanner they of course will still steal them.
The threft of these was I am thinking is because they wanted them for their own car, but of course you need to match the right caps with your own tyres,
