[Bedlam]

think im just going to have to go thru the insurance but dont wanna but need them to check every thing out aswell and by the looks my side skirt took a hit with some crap out of the pot hole as that is cracked aswell . all in all im more pi$$ off with my self been driving 7 years and never even curbed an alloy and now this .

If it is a pothole claim off the council............but get photos of it QUICK
Maybe insurance company will claim from them?

Same thing happened to me last night due to pothole - tore a hole in the side of the tyre wall, must have taken a hell of a lot of force to do that. Rim looks ok though, so just a new tyre (until I find out otherwise...). Only problem is, after the weather of the last two weeks no-one has a single Wintrac Xtreme in stock.

its amazing no less than 18 hours after my accident the hole was filled so i am guessing more my car has been damaged

As if that was a pot hole hit, never seen that happen before, id try claim off the council

pot hole s guilty hit it doin around 60 was around 6 inches long and the shape of a tear drop .would claim off the council but need the car daily and havent got the money to sort it so insurance can fix it and they can claim off the council

Good luck telling the insurance company what to do, they'll do whatever suits them...

Which will be to shove the blame onto you....

 

[cuprakemp]

and watch them try to wriggle out of the tyre claim as they will state it is part worn ( happened to me)

 

[cuprakemp]

hope not as the tyre was new 1 month ago

 

[stevesulsh]

Hope not too mate best of luck

 

[cuprakemp]

good news claim has been accepted and the new Tyre has 2 so its happy days

 

[dave.richmond]

so did you end up claiming for the wheel/tyre and a check of the alignment or just the wheel and tyre?

 

[cuprakemp]

the lot mate spoke to the garage today and every thing is on order so hope its all done soon

BBC News 24 doing a story today about the state of UK roads due to potholes

 

[cuprakemp]

yeah seen somthing on gmtv about it the other morning cant under stand y they dont just keep them better and not have to pay all the money out in compensation to people . and as the road tax rises there should be more than enough to go round

I hit a few potholes and weary I might of caused some damage. I have not seen any damage to the wheels no dints like yours. Feel the wheel is slightly to the left when going straight. Is this just tracking maybe?

What are them patches on the top of the alloys? Like 2 bits of rubber what are these there for?

not sure what u mean here mate

 

[delboyuk2005uk]

Yeah look at your wheels and inside the alloys there are like 2 rectangle like rubber strips on them. I have them on most of my wheels but one of them has been flattened. Wonder if that tells me that wheel is buckled and it bursts with hard impact. Because I have hit a few pot holes over this last week.

are you sure they aren't just the wheel weights?

 

[delboyuk2005uk]
