Had a problem with the Berlingo for a while where, over 2-3 weeks, the n/s front delates from the 2.4 (or thereabouts) bar required to around 1.5. First noticed it pulling to the left and then that tyre was definitely looking 'squishy'.
Have just kept re-inflating it using my electric pump. Usually at same time as checking pressures generally before towing as we treat that as heavily laden and increase rear pressures.
Anyway today I took it to my preferred 'fast fit' emporium, Formula 1 in Northampton, to be remedied.
Tech removed tyre and reported that the alloy was corroded a bit on the inner side and smoothed it off with a wire brush. Reseal bead, new valve refit and balance.
Hopefully OK now and I departed after 30 minutes £22.99 lighter.
First time I've been anywhere like that and had issue dealt with by a female tech.
