slow puncture?

[nixy]

last week when i checked my tyre pressure one of the rears was really really low. I put it back up and over the last week it has gone from 35 to 25 so has slowly lost pressure. I'm thinking slow puncture or dodgy valve - either way will have to go and get it looked at tomorrow now! More hassle!

Hopefully just the valve then Nic. Get it sorted before next weekend, we dont want any problems.

You could just spit (in a ladylike way ) on the valve and see if it gets blown away by air.

 

Do you park with wheels straight or at an angle - This happened to me once because of the parking angle I'd chosen

spit? Me? Is it possible to do that like a lady?

 

And yes i park straight although i do have to reverse up a big chunk of hard standing to get in the garage.

I have an extremely slow puncture on my left rear... but i can live with it! It drops about 5 psi a month...!

Well, I meant wipe a bit with your finger into the valve.

i'll go outside later and try it then!

And the verdict is?????????????

[nixy]

went to the tyre and exhaust pervs today in my lunch break. Nail in tyre. Repaired, valve, balanced £17.50. And i didn't have to spit!

Result. And you also get to keep your reputation as a lady

[nixy]

Precisely!
