Much simpler to look at the TPM and check that it is showing green!

A search on "tyre pressure monitor cap" shows that shops on Amazon

UK
sell them - a four-pack costs less than GBP 2.00. They look as though
they are a bit fatter and longer than the brass tyre caps on my glider,
but at the price its probably worth trying them, even if they do end up
on your car or trailer.


Thanks Martin.

There are several different types on the market. I was looking for
anyone with experience of using them on gliders who could save me the
time required to try different ones and find a good one. I've actually
bought some rather more expensive ones off eBay (3 quid each).
Some of the cheap ones have had very bad reviews because they don't
seal well and let the air out of the tyre. If anyone is interested to know

how I get on then I can post the results back here in a few weeks time.
