It’s not just 4x4’s that they are targeting - scroll to about 5m20s in this video

We have quite a few EVs I the village. You just can't hear them creeping up on you.

Also I've fitted these to all the cars. Unlikely anything will happen in the village but parking away in town, who knows?

Just a heads up on these, put a smear of grease round the threads. I had them on mine and my wife's car, managed to get mine off with grips but destroyed them, got 2 off the wipes car but the other 2 needed new valves fitting as they were going anywhere.

Hi all
Seems that there are moves to target landrover and other SUV’s by some vigilantly groups who feel it is fine to destroy someones property in the name of their cause ...

For example, 28-year-old fitness instructor Carly Bateman, from Didsbury, Manchester, was left unable to get to work when her Skoda Yeti was deflated and ended up getting an Uber while her father drove over to pump her tyre.



Skoda Yeti - that'll be a fairly average sized car then. Not big, not heavy and not a big engine. These numpties don't seem to even understand their own blinkered and totally unacceptable principles.

Was out this morning and I noticed a long stretch of road where on one side every bush and tree is being cleared to make way for a ..."greenway." The amount of heavy construction equipment there for the project is frightening. Surely these tyre extinguisher people should be lying down in front of this equipment to protect the in situ "green" environment, to stop it being removed and replaced with a hard surface. 1982 88" 2.25 diesel

Remembering Skoda did produce a 4x4 Yeti. Bet she has taken the badges off now .... ?
