so yeah, had an incident with a pothole today resulting in a bent rim, collapsed wheel bearing and tracking issues.
the hole was massive, easily a meter across so pretty unavoidable with a car coming the opposite way.
im not happy about this as the roads around my house are appalling , so was wandering where I stand with trying to get the council to cover the damage done to my car, has anyone ever managed to get money from a similar situation? and if so whats the procedure for a claim?
looking at a £200 rim unless it can be repaired, £80 of tyre and £22 for a replacement wheel bearing, a wheel bearing that I only just replaced anyway less than 1000 miles ago!!
money that i do not have
