    How much air would you expect a tyre to lose over a week my back tyre's losing about 3lb slow puncture or about normal

    Assuming you're measuring the pressure at same temperature then I would keep a close eye on that tyre as it may indeed be a slow puncture:(

    yes you should keep an eye on it and also give it a close inspection. Look for Slow puncture, leaky valve or rim edge corrosion.
    the rear should change about 2psi over a 10 deg temperature change just to give you some idea.
    TBH I have not experienced pressure loss over time. Only when there is a change in temperature or a problem
