They are TPMS valves so when the wheels were on the car, I never checked the pressures unless the car told me something was up.
They have just been stored in a shed and I'll get them back on the car soon so went to check the pressures the other day and that's what I couldn't unscrew the valve caps. I've had it with cheap nasty metal caps before on other cars and learnt my lesson but never just standard plastic ones
I didn't really drive it much in the winter and when salt had been spread on the roads. Had a Lupo for that so I don't think that's the cause.
