   Just went to pump my tires up, and the front o/s tire reads approx. 44psi although clearly isn't, could it be the valves fucked ??
   Thanks

   Are you sure its not your tyre gauge thats faulty mate?Try inflating your tyres at a petrol station then you`ll know if your gauge is faulty.

   Probably haven't put the nozzle on properly or its got a load of shit in the valve or the nozzle.

   Well the valve needs replacing anyway as let's air out at the petrol garage pump, but when using personal one it generally pumps up fine as you have to secure it on properly, but It's suddenly refused to pump up, and yea the gauge is correct.

   Try a new valve then won`t cost a lot mate.
