A Valve thankfully
After a week of tyre pressure dashboard alerts-adjust tyre pressure.
Gave in after topping up front tyres a second time yesterday evening.
Short drive to Kwik Fit today-found a valve needed replaced.
Common fault with Clio's-though my 1st time with 5th Clio.
Anyway thankfully replaced <10 pounds.
I thought it could have been a slow puncture, never guessed it could have been a valve.

Once upon a time everyone used to know how to do the spit test on a valve and often would do it after pumping up tyres.
1) Remove valve cap.
2) Get a bit of spittle on your index finger.
3) Wipe over top of valve so it forms a film
4) Watch to see if it turns into a bubble.This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -

I wouldn't have thought or known to check.
It's been quite a few years since hearing of a faulty valve.
Thanks for the simple test.Replenished CRA Reports.2020 Nissan Leaf 128-149 miles top charge. Savings depleted. VM Stream tv M250 Volted to M350 then M500 since returned to 1gb0
