Well last night my daily Merc suffered an attack from two rather deep pot holes, on the face of it doesn't seem too bad, tracking might be slightly out, but more annoyingly I only put 4 new tyres to the tune of £750 on the car a few days ago, also the wheels on there are £4500 worth of AMG E63 wheels.

So...

I am getting the wheels and tyres physical checked and rebalanced today and tracking done. also will check suspension for any issues. but as I am slightly fuming at the incident, is there anything I have forgotten?

I have photo's of pothole with a 50p coin next to it as reference, though size of the hole you can hardly see the coin! and am going back later today to get some pictures in daylight, I have reported to Council and will noe look at claiming back any out of pocket expenses, firstly my balancing and geo check, but also if any damage is done I will get a quote from Mercedes and a tyre place.

Has anyone successfully claimed for pot hole damage and if so what was the process and outcome. The pot hole in question has some paint marking on it as it had obviously been highlighted in the distant past, but was very faint. which I think is good as council should have a record of it.


The BMW 3 series behing me with M sport wheels on wasn't so lucky at all, and this morning I am getting reports of many AA/RAC trucks in the layby nearby with cars being loaded on!

oh and if anyone is going North out of Forest Row on the A22, becareful just before you get to the pedestrian crossing just past the River Medway bridge!

thanks in advance for any help.
