Hi Folks,



I had a slow puncture in one of the tyres on my car.



Took it to be repaired,



When the valve was taken out to be replaced,



it disintegrated in the mechanics hand.



They all looked OK.



After replacing it.



He then checked all the other valves,



every one had perished and fell apart when he tested them,



this was on a car just over 4 years old!!!





Next time you're passing a tyre dealers,



or any of the many puncture repair shops,



Get them to check the valves,



a quick check could save you a buying a new tyre/car,



or someone's life?







Anyone else had this problem?
