I need one Mk 2 alloy as my front offside tyre seems to be losing air. I recently replaced the tyres on the front two because they were near the end of their life anyway but also because of the suspected puncture. I now however think the seal might be gone and in need of replacement alloy...

Most likely problem is the alloy going porous, a coat of paint on the inside should cure that.
It'll be the inside of the alloy rusting and creating uneveness that let's the air through. Happened to mine.

I haven't got the time to repair as I need the car on the road...

Ditto, took the garage about 15 minutes to fix mine.

Alloy doesn't rust.

I don't have a spare alloy anymore to swap over. Will find out for sure first by taking it to tyre people that just did the new tyres.

Luckily the alloy is good, it was just a duff valve!
