I thought it was the wheel on that was ok but when I took the front wheel off it had a very large blister on the inside  I was soooooooooooo glad I checked it as it couldn't be seen and deffinately would have blown.

On your PB page, to the right is a box with the header "image links". Hover over grey box to the right of "IMG code". Click mouse, box will go yellow and say "copied". Back onto OOF thread then right click mouse and "paste".

That's shocking, excuse the pun.

Friend of mine last year had to replace because of hitting a pot hole: Tyre, alloy, entire coilover, top mount, it pushed it through the top mount, into the bonnet which dented from the inside out, and his windscreen, it also genuinely chipped his tooth  .

Can you claim from the council? Mind you they would probably argue that the shockers were "aged".

Only if it has been reported,  and they would say it hasn't  and then it would be down to me to ask everybody in Kent if they have reported it.

I reported similar damage to my astra and repair work came to £180 , council threw the claim out the window  even with full documented picture evidence

I had the same problem last month, but i was lucky my top mount sheared off and the upper rod went through the mounting hole without doing any damage, mine is an estate 2 new kyb gas ajust shocks cost me £60 with the dreaded vat.

That is some damage, and I am surprised that more wasn't done apart from that and the tyre.   I certainly would want to check out the wheel bearing and steering rods.
