Got back to my car to discover two of my tyre valve caps missing ! Gits ! Okay not crime of the century but frustrating never the less as I have no idea who stocks them as they seem to be in two parts . I.e the valve stem has a highly polished chrome finish that the caps fit on too. Seem to be very high quality. Does anyone have any idea where I can get some replacements ?

I got mine from my local motor factors, had to buy a bag of 20 I think which was the whole assembly including the valve and cost about £10 I think. So plenty of spares and you can take the valves the next time you get your tyres replaced.

If you go to a land rover dealer you can get really good union jack ones. They do them in black and White too.
About £15

The problem with TVR or Union flag ones is that makes them even more appealing to the srotes who nick them, they're also overpriced.

Personally I got mine from eBay with a grub security screw in them. Enough said!

I have used stainless steel caps and put them on with a socket .. so just a bit too tight to undo by hand.

Make sure to WD40 them regularly or they'll seize

Like Don, I got mine off ebay. Nice quality and cheap. Plenty of suppliers.

Not sure WD40 should be anywhere near the valve seal.
