But if they're made of metal (?) be sure to apply a little grease to the threads and don't do up too tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Cat Lady Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 yea Debs, polished and anodized steel. Wee smear of Vaseline on the valves first then the outside with NAVIWAX A few years ago i had a bad experience with metal valve caps, three of them seized on solid, had to buy new valves. They'd only been on for a couple of months in a very cold winter, use to leave the tyre pressure check that long in those days, ...me bad :xmas_rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Cat Lady Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 Today Last week this arrived via Amazon uk [ ...£28.99 to include delivery] One reason i choose this particular foot pump is due to the 4.8 out of 5 star reviews on Amazon. It's okay just about better than average build quality and good for pumping up the tyres, but the gauge is very inaccurate & vague, seems to under-read by a couple of psi. So looks like a need for a good accurate pressure gauge too - any recommendations? Debs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debs cant beat a good powered compressor or failing that use shell or BP machine to pump your tyres up , i check mine every month at shell and if nessary put some air into them Edited December 17, 2015 by celica1977 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I obviously do use garage facilities :rolleyes: ...when in the locality , but bare in mind some of us live in remote parts, my nearest garage air line is 16 country miles away. And only last week when i went into a Tesco garage to fill up and check my tyre pressures: Remove valve caps [in the rain] put 20p into the air line machine - nothing happened, machine don't work [probably too stuffed full of money] i couldn't get the air line machine to work, or get my 20p back, put valve caps back on [while getting wet in even heavier rain]. drive away having spent 20p to get wet, and without being able to check my tyre pressures., oh how i laughed... Then on the way home i had an accident due to incorrect tyre pressure which resulted in my death, now i'm an angry ghost come back to haunt the Tesco garage that caused my untimely demise due to their dysfunctional 20 bleeding pence robbing bandit air line machine 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kobir Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 Sainsburys don't charge too pump your tyres, we'll all the ones near where I live [emoji3] only downside is there's usually quite a long queue Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then on the way home i had an accident due to incorrect tyre pressure which resulted in my death, now i'm an angry ghost come back to haunt the Tesco garage that caused my untimely demise due to their dysfunctional 20 bleeding pence robbing bandit air line machine A few months ago I had a similar experience, noticed one of my rear tyres was very low on air, drove to Shell garage just up the road from work. No cash for airline. Garage had cash machine outside - out of order. Went into shop to see if I could get some cash off my card. Attendant wouldn't do it. Offered to buy something or fill up with petrol to get cashback, attendant refused. Explained my tyre was dangerously low pressure, still refused - not policy to give cashback. Had to drive home and sort it out there (yes I suppose I could have put the spare on but it was filthy weather). Meant to write snotty letter to Shell but of course never did.....
