How does it help? I've never taken one before and never ever ever been asked

makes sense
but never ever been asked for it - although the place I get MOT's the computer is right next to the bay anayways, and they normally have a work placement / runt to shout out anything they need.
Anyone know a good way to remove dust caps thats are stuck / frozen (maybe) on?
I've tried plyers but they spin the valve too :'(
WD40 didn't even loosen them. ****ing eBay jobbies!
Might try hair dryer? My fronts look pretty low when it's on my drive.

two pairs of plyers one on the valve one on the dust cap, i would reccommend long nose plyers
new valve time, mine did this so went tyre place got new valves, i took old ones back home an even with valve held in a vice they wouldn't come off
Gahh Cock. Can't afford much atm! that sucks.
You gone for the metal ones?
OEM Plastic ones are the only safe way to go.
Going to stick car in garage over night, hopefully increase the temperature a bit. Or insulate them somehow then try again.
Hair dryer a bit?
When it was freezing the other week my bonnet wouldn't open because it was all frozen. Poured warm water over the bonnet and behind the bumper and it popped up straight away

Yeh hopefully by increasing the temprature the metal will expand and release it's grip.. in theory
doesn't mean you can't nick valve caps!
People nick mine I nick other peoples. It's just the way the world works.

They dont freeze on they rust on, they are a bitch to get off.
I hope they have just contracted with the cold weather, cheap metal. No signs of rust though but can't see on the inside ;D
Hacksaw them off I reckon. Like split them down the middle
