TYRE VALVE BLOCKED?

[AMvantageBJB]

I tried to put air in tyre -5psi down yesterday at petrol station (& also later with my footpump) & nothing would go in? Has anybody else experienced this or know what to do to resolve? Thanks

Try getting the inner part of the valve removed which should blow away any debris. Put it back together and try again - if this doesn't work get that part of the valve replaced. Any tyre garage should be able to do this for you very quickly. You may want to support the car so as not to have your tyre lay flat for any period.

Not every tyre garage knows how to jack up alloy chassis Aston Martins. Remember the topic about a car being written off, following incorrect jacking?
