Valve for my wheel! Urgently

I dont know if this is the right section to post it but here goes:

 

The garage that put my new tyres on few weeks ago, used to much pressure (40psi!!!! :swear: ) and now one of my valves came loose where it fits the wheel.

 

My luck of course is thats the valve is not a standard shape one. It's got a bend of 90 degree in it. Look at the attachement. Its a cross section of the wheel, hope its clear.

The valve came loose at that rubber washer bit.

 

Who can help me, where can I get a new one?

 

Thanks in advance!

Shouldn't the garage be putting this right?

 

Yes indeed they should. I have called them and they want to know when the petrol station (where I checked the tire pressure) had their machine calibrated. If it wasnt done in the last 6 months they wont take responsibility... But even then I'm prety sure it will be difficult to get them to fix the problem.

 

And in the mean time somebody else had hit my car in the parkinglot, so I have to sort that out as well. Nightmare :complain:

 

I'm going on holiday next thursday and I need my car! :thumbdown
