Slow flat. Tyre tube?
Hey guys, got up today to see the patrol with a slow leak. What do guys reckon on getting a tyre tube to permanently fix it?

sounds like alot of stuffing around. Have you tried to find the leak with soapy water? Might just be a bit of junk stuck in the bead? I have never used tubes in my tires, depends if your doing some very serious off roading.
If you going through hell...Keep going

Nah man. Plug it! In a heart beat. If you can find the puncture I would not even take it off the car. Really basic to fix

Plugs are permanent, and legal! As Long AS......... they are not used on sidewalls or more than 1in a hole. (Unless a stranded) then it should be replaced as soon as back in civilization.

Thanks guys.
The Tyre is going to the shop today. So it should be sorted by the sarvo.
Btw I don't have any plugs yet so that is why it is going to the shop. Also I could not find the hole

I bet THEY Plug it
Go to ARB or Rays Tent City or Supercheap, or any auto shop and buy a Plug kit and keep it in the car. WINNER
