have you taken it to a tyre shop yet as it might only be a puncture that needs fixing, or even leaking from the rim of the tyre but they will tell you BUT dont go to kwik-fit as they will tell you that you need a new car.

Andy has a valid point. It could be a leaky valve or somethign equally silly.

you don't seem to be having much luck this week do you...never mind the way i see it is that all your bad luck is here now so that the next few years should be all of happy motoring...i hope anyway. i'm sure it'll all be sorted soon, especially as we are trying to help you out where possible.

depends on how much cash you have lying spare, (if like me that'll be into the minus figures) and how much a replacement tyre is. it also depends on how quickly the tyre is deflating.

get kwik fat to check the valve out 1st, or, if you are organised, take the tyre off in the nite and put the spare on. then, get it pumped up and when you have a bath in the night, immerse the tyre in the bath water (after you have bathed) and see if its leaking air anywhere. my guess is it will come from the valve, OR, if the alloy is peeling its laquer, it will come from the rim. Its exactly the same thing they will do at a tyre centre, so you may as well know yourself.
