Valve caps help



  Clio 182
Guys I have an issue. When I bought my 182 it has valve caps on both rear tyres that need a key to get them off, which I do not have and neither does the guy I bought it off. This obviously raises the issue that I have no way of pumping up the rear tyres.

I have gone to tyre places and they all want £15 per tyre to
replace the valve! Which to me seems a bit of a rip off. I was wondering if perhaps anyone terecognises the make of cap from the picture or knew a way of getting them off without forking out £30!

A new valve when replacing the tyre is normally a fiver, or £2.50, but to have the tyre changed, including a new valve is normally £10+ I'd stomache it and get it done, purely incase it goes wrong and you need to pump the git up!

As said though, surely they'll come off with mole grips?
