I've just been scrubbing at my car almost all weekend as it was filthy (hasn't seen a hose pipe for months).
I pulled off the wheel centre caps as I've lost one, another is hardly attached, so I've ordered four new plain grey ones from ebay. I've found that the hub ends look very different on the two front wheels. See photos.
Am I right in thinking that what's missing from the right wheel is a "grease cap"? If so then I'll try ordering a Vectra one (after checking the diameter).
I've googled for discussions, but there's limited info about them. Am I right in thinking that despite the name, you don't fill them with grease? Is a wipe of grease a good idea or would that just encourage it to fall off?
Is it just hammer on? With a lump of wood on top, after taking the wheel off.
I don't know whether a garage has taken it off in the past or it's just fallen off. It's possible that it fell off and took the wheel centre cap with it.
I learn new things every week thanks to my Croma falling apart.
