It's a nightmare with big wheels, I've got spider alloys on my 525 touch wood not hit any potholes hard enough yet.

Try and get something off the council.

That up there with the time my father in law went through 2 windscreens in a day..

one the way to a job, big stone, windscreen totalled, stopped at a place near where he was got a new one.

went to the job, and on the way home, same again, stopped at the SAME garage for a new one  ;D ;D ;D

he did get the 2nd very cheap

Bad news. Make sure you get plenty of photos of the pot hole preferably with some sort of gauge in shot to show the depth and the size of the hole

Bloody Hell, that was lucky, most truck drivers would give you abuse and tell you to break off  ;D
