I corrected the pressure and drove home during which time the sensor never came back on. The next day the sensor lit again and the tyre had again lost just 10% of its correct pressure. I paid £200 for a new rear tyre and that was that. I was, however, reassured that even with a nail in the tyre I could easily drive 300-400 miles. Short of REALLY damaging a tyre in some way, I'm guessing 99% of punctures will be slow enough to allow one to get home as I did
