I have a problem, basically I can't pump one of my tyres up, I'm assuming because of the valve. When I try and pump it up nothing happens, doesn't let any air in or out.

So do I need a new tyre? Can the valve be fixed or replaced? Also is it something I can do or is it a job for a mechanic?

Cheers

a tyre place should be able to remove it, then the tyre and then put in new valve if the tyre is road legal

Only a few quid

The valve can be fixed very easily, and is often replaced when you have a tyre changed. The core of the valve can also be replaced, with a small tool. Either will be inexpensive (around a fiver, to get the tyre removed, new valve fitted and balanced)
