I would double check if the dealer changed the valves because many do not unless you ask them to. Valves perish like tyres and eventually crack near the rim..

I helped a damsel in distress the other week, she'd got a flat tyre on a dark rainy night and didn't seem sure on how to change the wheel. Apparently she'd had a slow puncture and some local garage had repaired it? When I arrived on the scene she was struggling to remove the wheel trim and tbh it wasn't easy when I took over, whoever fitted it must have put some force behind it as they had not lined the trim up and had sheared off the valve, no shit, it wasn't there. Focin cowboys, it must have been flat when she drove it away! Way I see it is you've got to tell them exactly what you want, may seem patronising, but at least you know it's hopefully been done correctly.
Complete fabrication, I didn't make it up!

I know someone that spent an hour or so hunting for an Allen key to remove a wheel trim when they had a flat..... they were 'decorative' Allen heads moulded onto the cover and it just pulled off like any other :lol

Smart Motorways (M42 for example!) - now you've got three lanes of trucks all doing 55.9mph and one outside lane with some cars/vans coasting at 65. Hows that supposed to improve congestion :evil :evil

Drivers, who having said and waved goodbye to the passenger they have just dropped off, then sound the car horn 'goodbye'...about half a dozen times...at 6am... >:

Witnessed a new record on the way home last night.
Saw NINE cars jump a RED light! The lights in front of me were amber and then green so I know that every motor jumped a red one. Absolute piss takers!  top

Forum members who ask for help to solve/resolve a problem they are having and are given various suggestion/advice to fix the problem, but they never come back to say what worked. :grumble

People that complain they had a spider or bug in their hotel room in a mega hot country like Turkey or Egypt then go onto review sights to totally slag of their ruined holiday.

People who fail to understand that 5* in Egypt (or somewhere else not in the 1st World) will not be the same standard as 5* in the UK

People checking their grinder account while driving! Three cars drifted over the white line while I was filtering on Friday, all of them on Facebook. One of them actually stopped in traffic a good three feet over the line. I mean I love posting how I twerked so hard I shat my thong but I can wait till I get home!
