nixy Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinmac Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Hopefully just the valve then Nic. Get it sorted before next weekend, we dont want any problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nixy Posted May 10, 2009 Author Share Posted May 10, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
