Hit a huge 5ft long pothole last night which took out a front wheel (7x17 ET38)and tyre on the Legnum so am looking for a wheel to match the one shown below. The steering wheel is now off to the right so more damage to find...
Have a claim in for the damage to the council but they say only one in five claims are successful! I'd have thought that the council have a duty to maintain the roads to avoid damaging cars but apparently only a periodic inspection is needed and if they don't know about it then they can't fix it. What makes this worse is the hole is at the end of a long straight just before a sharp right hander (60 limit - narrowish road) and after hitting the hole, the NS tyre deflated pretty quickly just as I was turning in to the corner. How the car didn't end up in the ditch/field is just pure luck.
Even worse still, this hole was supposedly filled 2 weeks ago....
