End caps and hard tops and DVLA
« on: January 15, 2007, 11:01:11 »
2 questions...

Numero Uno:
I got two new end caps fitted (is this what they're called-the caps that go in the centre of the wheels on the end of the axle..?) a couple of weeks ago. They're cracked and leaking black all over my shiny alloys! I bought a couple more from bearm*** at the weekend. Heated the in hot water and popped them on..only they didn't pop on. Any which way I tried, they just wouldn't click on. Any ideas from anyone?

Numero Dos:
I fitted a van top over xmas - do I need to notify DVLA/insurers? Do either need notifying of rear seats? (I know that's two questions!!)

Can't help you with the first one but I know you'll need to notify your insurers about the seats, and almost certainly about the vantop.

In regards to question #1 I'd say that you shouldn't be experiencing that problem even if they were cracked ...

I'd check that you'd got good quality replacement parts, either genuine or not made out of a kitkat wrapper.

I'd also check that the axle breather wasn't blocked, as there shouldn't be enough pressure in the axle to make it leak badly enough to make unshiny wheels :?

there are two types of caps, make sure youv'e got the right one.  from the local dealer they'll cost less than a fiver each, if i remember right.

I bought them from the guys behind the counter at bearmach in cardiff and they asked the year etc. I'd guess they're the right ones.
