slow puncture - what to do?

[open]

Like I said, I have a slow puncture on my front wheel,.

I came back from holiday and it was quit e low, so pumped it up and was good for a day or two then needsinflating again.

Should i just use slime or whatever brand, replace tyre immideatly, or just pup pump it everyday?

I also have breakdown cover with Carole Nash, which I know nothing about can they help, or will I still have to pay for the new tyre if they are called out?[/code]

Depends where the leak is from? Around the valve or a small hole in the tread.

I've used slime before.. Although not sure how much it can be trusted as a permanent fix. Could be the wheel just needs the valve replacing.

Carole nash offer some very good breakdown cover, i've used it before and they've always been veru helpful.

If you found you had got a puncture, you could call them out too help you

Two things;

How would i find out where the leak is from?
And
With the call out would i have to pay anything extra.

Changing a valve is simple enough. Had to replace the valve on my old ped when the top quality Chinese valve decided to go for a wander and popped off on a dual carriageway!

Pump it up. Remove the valve cap and spit on the valve opening to see if it bubbles. If it does remove the valve core, clean it and replace it again.

If it doesn't bubble at the valve, take the wheel off and rotate it through a bowl of water till you see bubbles.

Take it to a shop and they'll be able to plug it for about £10.
