Would this present any problems?

I know that tyre fitters aren't allowed to fit them anymore but not sure if thats law or there idea

On a bicycle? Shouldn't think so.
I wish Chrisgixer was here to answer difficult questions such as these.
I would ask him: my tyres keep losing pressure. I have purchased some cheap Chinese valves but they are, unsurprisingly, crap and didn't cure the problem. I thought about getting the wheel rims cleaned, thought for ages and ages, but decided I am too tight. What should I do? Stick inner tubes in? ;D

It's not legal because it's not safe. The problem is the inside of a tubeless tyre isn't smooth. It will abrade the inner tube until it goes pop. A friend had a very nasty accident on a motorbike because he did this and the front tyre went pop at high speed.

Completely, totally and utterly illegal. And with good reason. Don't even go there...

I'm losing about five pounds each day.
That's 5 PSI and not £5.....or if on a diet 5LB.
Just though I'd clarify for the thickies amongst you. ;D

Sounds like you have a puncture ::)

Sounds like you have a puncture ::)
...on all four wheels? ;)
I'm spending more and more time with the foot pump. :-\
I'm tempted to buy a two year old Daewoo......then I won't need to concern myself with age related problems. :)

Actually, given TBs recent experience, be prudent to check the inner sidewalls for cracking :-\

Cool! I'll look forward to your next car purchase then M'lud, as I could do with a laugh!! :P :D ;D

Don't laugh, Sir Tig. A Daewoo is a real 'pussy puller'.....just ask STMO. :)

Was it dripping with scantily clad beauties?... ;)
Or just dripping oil and coolant. ;D

No, it wouldn't have fitted in at the local Waitrose, where it's either Old Dear's Nissan Micra's or Yummy Mummies Range Rover's! ::)

You may mock. But you won't find me asking questions about which adhesive I should use to hold my roman chariot of a car together. ;D

Actually, I thought if I ever needed a 'Mummy Bus' (Unlikely, but you never know ::)) I'd go for an Orlando over the Zafira. :y

If you can pick an Orlando up for buttons, then yes. :D :y

There are no more new ones, so you'd have to have a used one. If you're seriously considering one, be aware that spares are becoming harder to find. A guy on the forum had to pay a dealer £24 for a rear wiper...outrageous but no choice. No one will bother setting up the tooling to make cheaper parts, there aren't enough of them about.
I'd go for the zafira, Tigger, cheap as chips and easy to maintain. The fact that you're considering a people carrier means you're looking for something to work for you rather than something to look at. Zafira parts and repairs are readily available and hassle free is what you need.
The orlando has parts which are not in common with the zafira, like the climate control system. If something like that goes wrong, it would be really difficult to find someone to repair it.
Just an honest opinion, I don't want you to come unstuck so I can sing the praises of my car, although I do like it.

Piss taking apart I actually like the look of the Orlando. Enough to buy one should the price be right?......I'm not sure about that. :y

Mine's due it's first MOT next month, let's wait and see.

It's usually about MOT number three that expensive demons first show themselves. The first MOT will be (should be) a walk in the park. :y

Thanks for your concern and advice Uncle STMO, but I did say IF I ever needed a Mummy Bus.... ;) :y
