I kept a tyre inflator in the boot but never had any drop in pressure and eventually the screw had come out. Two months later it was in for service with the same dealer and the health check came up clear. I wonder if I had accepted the replacement cost would they have pulled the screw out first to see if the tyre was okay or grab my money?

I believe a reputable Dealer would have pulled it out to see if it leaked before they tried to sell you a new tire. Mine did just that.
