They do fit alright - could have done with being a mm longer as they are only 25mm long instead of the more common 27mm on eBay, although do valves differ... But good enough and certainly an improvement! :)

They look very nice, I presume they are chromed brass. I once made the mistake of fitting some that were made of alloy, they fused themselves to the brass valve and were a nightmare to remove.

I know what you mean Pab! I once fitted alloy ones, like these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Alloy-VALV...item5646b2ed07 to one of my Mercs and I had to eventually had to cut them of!!!! Nightmare. :shocked:

Yes Gary, I've lost a few but usually when I've parked in the street, but these have a 10mm head so you can really tighten them! :snowball:

My first thought was how long will you keep them?
Look good and I had some MG ones but got 2 nicked in a week so now I have these

Fitted that type to Lesley's Megane couple of years ago, cost me £45 to remove and replace valves, totally fused to the valves.
