Title: Valve stems cracking. Mot!
Post by: BARNPOT2000 on August 9, 2022, 17:46
Just seen this on an mot history, valve stems cracking! Just wondering how this was picked up via an mot, not seen this one before?

Yeh, I'm going with tyre valves too. No way your 50 quid covers inspection of the other type.

In any case that's a pretty thorough find. Must have been ancient.

OK that makes sense, thought the mot was getting a bit intense 🤓
