Edition30:
There was something on Fifth Gear about this, providing you have plenty of pictures and it meets there requirements I dont see why not.

I remember the pot hole being so deep and wide, same may apply to the damaged drain.

Not sure what area your from but this may be of some use...

Best thing to do is contact your local council for a form and report the drain. It can go either way.. they can be as nice as pie and help you out... Or they can turn round and say you have no proof the drain caused the damage... Good luck!

My b/f damaged his car recently on a raised manhole cover.  He reported it to the council and very soon afterwards cones appeared round it, then within hours the hole was filled in and the manhole cover straightened up.  Get plenty of pics, contact the council and they should send you a claim form :happy2:
