You'd be bloody lucky to get any sort of compo for that, a friend of mine burst his alloy wheel on a massive pothole and complained to the council with pics, etc...their reply was 'we have a reasonable road maintenance schedule in operation, apologies'  :fighting:

Why do we pay council tax, why do we pay road tax. This country and its taxes ad cuts and bu**sh**.

I could be wrong but if you write a letter to a council complaining bout a stretch of road with potholes and THEN something happens to yr car because of said potholes, there may be some legal recourse, but you would need to provide proof of dates, etc; I could be totally wrong with this one though as I said!? :-o
