as title says im loosing air from the tire have had local garage to check for leaks none found if i use the car daily it doesnt loose air leave it standing for 3days or more theyre basically flat
 
What about having a local tyre company remove and refit the tyre, there may be a "beading" issue ( not quite sealed ).
 
As said above, the beading might not be sealed properly. Take it to a different tyre bay and have them re-fit the tyre and see weither that makes any difference. A decent garage would see the state of the inside of the rim and give it a clean with a wire brush, to make sure the tyre has a snug fit, to prevent any breaks within the seal. It could be a hair-line crack within your rim that the air is escaping out.
Hope it gets sorted mate.

p.s. as a last attempt to sort the problem out, you could always use, tyre weld, just spray it in the air valve.

stick you wheel in water see where the bubble's come from and mark it with chalk then find out why it's leaking
 
don't forget the valve itself could be to blame or the seal around it..
