noticed yesterday that my two front tyres could do with a bit of pressure..
went to the garage on the way back home from the misses' and the air pressure was 'out of order'. thought nothing of it so went to the next garage on the way home, this one was also out of order. so drove past my house to the next nearest one at the air pressure was out of order there too..

just wondering if it has something to do with the cold weather??

Yeah it does. Only my local shell is working at the mo and it's an old fashioned inflator so i have no clue how to do it!

The valves can freeze and they just end up letting tyres down.

Assumed as most are water and air the cold weather froze the water pipes thus rendering the entire machine unusable ;)

Its just moisture in the pump / valve freezing, so the machine is unusable.
