    There is a place up the road that can repair punctures for £15. Is that worth doing over replacing the entire tyre?
    Yes if its a healthy tyre. Ask them to show you the puncture.

    I had this problem with the steel wheels on my Saab 99 many years ago. The rims were rusty, so the air leaked out. I cured it by taking the tyres off one by one, and rubbing down the rust to bare metal with a powerfile. Then painted each wheel with Waxoyl, and put the tyre back.


    Alternatively, buy an inner tube.
