When I get new tyres should I get new valve caps as well?

And make sure your flux capacitor is on a 33 1/3 degree angle with the allen key bolt done up with a left hand screw driver.

You really should try to not let it click.

They have a limited lifetime and after about 200 clicks you need a new cap.

Also, as it clicks it gets tighter and it can get stuck on if it clicks too many times.

On the plus side though if you wear it out you could get a performance cap to replace it.
They have a few fairly large holes in them so that you get more flow.
It's as good as a modest fuel pump upgrade.

I just realised one of my tyre valve dipsticks is missing. What's the best oil to use to get it out?

New valve caps are only required when the air in the tyres is replaced.

Which should be every year or 12 months, whichever occurs first.

Guys,

Is it normal for my airbags not to deploy if I haven't been in an accident?

Don't want to risk them getting damaged :/

Thanks

When I wake up in the morning feeling like p diddy, I proceed to brush my teeth with a bottle of jack.

I believe it is due to this that my car over revs. What I do, is when driving after I've just started the car, I like to put it into Neutral, rev it to redline, then drop it into reverse. This is to warm up the tranny so I can drive like race car.

Is this bad for my car?
