My 206cc now sits at 36.5 psi .. 2.5bar. Which is really 2.516586bar , but my digital screen hasn't the ability to read long numbers because it might be like me numeric dyslexic

My C8 was set at 2.5 bar a few days ago, probably now 2 bar, 1.5 bar, 2.5 bar and 0.8 bar. My tyres are always changing themselves

That, to me, indicates slow punctures... I'd get that looked at soonest in case they become fast punctures ;)

Driving through water can cause air leakages

I would but I'm trying to save money, kids ain't cheap. I do have 2 tyre inflaters though, best 1 being a Halfords digital inflater which cuts off at required pressure.

Yes water , people don't realise the force of water when your drive through deep flood water, my old picasso had water in all 4 wheels when i had new tyres fitted the chap showed me as he was removing the tyres , he said you been driving through floods i can tell.

Makes us move and stop. I do a visual check every day but its hard to tell if my tyres are deflating as they are van tyres, steel wall, as Citroen fitted originally, so it's not like normal car tyres which look flatter quicker.
