  1. I used copper grease on them. Just put enough on to fill the thread on the valves. Hopefully they’ll be ok. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. Did you put any copper or lithium grease on first to stop them seizing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. Hi mate, I opted for the copper grease. As you said, it’s better at preventing seizing. I just put a small amount on the valve making sure every groove on the thread was filled with it. Put caps on wiped away any excess, only a small amount. Jobs a gooden. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  14. Hi everyone, I’ve bought these dust caps for the Lexus. They’re made from brass and chrome coated. Would these be ok to put on permanently or could they seize on the valve and not come off. Thanks everyone. John. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  19. Thanks Linas. So these two are about the same quality . I might as well go for the brembo whilst there on offer. Or what about pagid. Thanks again. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  20. Hi everyone, car just passed MOT. All good except front pads are running low. I’ve seen Brembo ones for £48 in ECP with 50% off. Also the genuine Lexus/toyota ones are £58 from Lexus Birmingham. What’s the best out of the 2. Thanks everyone. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
