Had a slow leak in the offside rear for sometime -about a psi a day. Finally got it to our local Kwik Fit.
Took the wheel off, a few suds later it was found to be the valve. So dropped the front bead off and replaced it, checked the balance, which was ok and refitted the wheel.
No charge.
People knock them, but my local one seems pretty good.

Re: Leak
My local kwik fit is excellent. Great service from them. I've even used them to swap my wheels before when I couldn't be arsed. Just made a donation to the tea fund!

Re: Leak
Mine has a hunters machine too - which I've used before now and they got it spot on - including getting the steering wheel bob on too
When I've replaced the rear link bars, I'll take it back to them to align.
