What's causing my 2001 Toyota Yaris to lose tyre pressure?
My 2001 Toyota Yaris is loosing tyre pressure on all four wheels even after treatment by Inchcape for corrosion. I have to top up every few days.

If it's on alloy wheels then your best bet is to swap to a set of steels wheels for a 51 Yaris from a scrapper or breaker. The alloy wheels will have become porous and there is nothing effective that can be done.
