Hi I just posted this then found that this part of the forum covered it

I am hoping that this message will help Avondale (perhaps others) Owners and bring to their attention something that has happened to me Not Once but Twice.

My 2005 Avondale Dart 510/L has had both of its road wheel Tyre valves blow within the past 3 months. Luckily for me it was whilst my van was parked up alongside my home.

The valve stems had cracked around the circumference of the valve hole and it split through to the inlet hole.

Both times it happened I took it to a local tyre dealer who replaced them and he has said that they looked like they were badly manufactured. I urge all Avondale owners to replace their tyre valves as soon as possible as there are serious safety concerns.

Hope this helps

Had never thought of the stems to be honest, thanks for the tip.

I had a flat due to a faulty valve stem. Good thing it was in a parking lot, and not while out on the road!
