Valve stem caps

Huh? Valve stem caps are just valve stem caps. I remember back in the early days of TPMS manufacturers advised that metal valve stem caps could interfere with the signal to the display. If that was even true, it sure isn't today because I have used decorative metal caps on a number of vehicles without any problems.

I read that they interfered with the TPMS system which resulted in tire failure. Also, some mentioned that the metal caps had an affect on the alloy wheels. They were not compatible. This was all on the F-Type forum. One stated that only aluminum caps had no affect on the alloys!! I also thought these comments were kind of strange. Thanks for all your replies.

Besides, the Union Jack - the actual British flag - is in full color.

The devil is in the details my dear Joe. And, occasionally, behind the wheel? (had two friends riding convoy with me from NYC to Maine and both of them got pulled over doing 120+ (Fortunately, or unfortunately, I was already long gone) and the line my friend wanted to use to the State Trooper was "officer, we were riding on the coat tails of the devil").
With apologies for the highjack.

The metal ones can seize and corrode the valve stems. I bought oem British fla caps for our 15 LR4. I though they were plastic like the oem growler caps I bought for my XF. Over two winters they seized on the stems and had to be broken to be removed. Ruined 1 valve stem, other three need replacement soon. Anti-seize needed if you use these as stated. This is particular problem in winter climates that also use de-icing salts. Also top heavy metal ones have been reported to cause issues. Lengthy discussion on this in the XF forum a few years back.
