just one question, why do you need these?

Oks Well i hit a VERY BIG pot hole not to long ago [fooked my car up badly it mashed my alternator and sheared a bit off it then my belt came off and I needed a new alternator, snapped passenger side spring at the top . . . Etc ] also damaged my bearing in the suspension bushier and bent the spring disk looked on etka think that’s right. I ve got a pair of strut mounts just need the spring disks and going to sort it. Just to last me till May when I get my Coilover suspension.

rheady you shouldn’t have said anything , got home . . and there was a letter from the council saying there not libel for the damage saying that it was between there maintenance checks so " i have now investigated the incident and am sorry but do not feel able to offer you any form of compensation". . . . well i am defo not letting this go, the pot hole nearly swallowed my golf lol, well not quite but when i hit the pot hole my head smashed against the roof liner, was bad . Think angry letter time lol  :grin:

so cos they knew it was there it's not their fault?  :undecided:

Ask to see proof of when the road was last checked, did the pot hole have any markings around it? If not then they haven't seen it...

Just looking on ETKA now
