My front tyre went down so I pumped it up but its loosing air from where the tyre sits on the rim. Whats the best fix or should I just take it in somewhere ?
what's rim, steel or alloy?

Cheers. Its alloy rim. Ill take it down the road where me mate works.
If their LR alloys, it's not likely to need reseating as these rims have safety lip inside to stop rim from breaking bead, possibly you have damaged it driving on it when it was flat, only takes a few metres.

Last year, all 4 of my tyres were going down slowly. See thread http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f8/tyre-pressure-drop-porous-rims-67312.html
Tried re-seating on cleaned rims (the tyre fitter put sealant on the rims before refitting the tyres). Was a temproary repair - helped a bit but still porous.
In the end, I had all 4 wheels blasted & resprayed (company called techspray in Fife). Then new tyres (AT2's) all round.
Don't lose any pressure now!
