    Grrr... F*$#ing Potholes!

    So, I go to have my Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4's fitted and find that both nearside wheels are buckled, the front only slightly, the rear more so :mad: Recently I'd noticed a very faint steering tremor at motorway+ speeds, as though I had a wheel fractionally out of balance, but nothing really...

    Dam Potholes

    My cars not even 2 months old and I've had to repace a rear tyre today. Ruddy Pothole. So fed up of the council botching a roundabout near me. The hole in question was repaired less than 12 months ago. Got another near bye that has only lasted a month.

    W203 front judder when braking/knocking on potholes

    As per title, I'm getting knocking from the front wheels when going over potholes and sometimes I'm also getting judder from the front when braking (definitely not the front discs). I'm guessing something is worn in the front suspension-any pointers on what to check and likely cause? Car is...

    I hate potholes, share your pothole photos here!

    I love my CLK Really I do, but one week in, and already it needs a new lower arm and windscreen is getting replaced on insurance in two weeks time Then it has a MOT. In one week I have bought a new seat belt, a new fog and a new lower arm. I know I got the car at a steal, but I really hope it...

    Potholes bigger than the Isle of Wight

    This is why you shouldn't believe everything (sometimes, ANYTHING) that you read in the papers... Nation's potholes are bigger than the Isle of Wight | Metro News Now, I saw the original news release from this, from the PR company for LV (who own Britannia Rescue). The chump got his maths...

    Beware of Potholes!

    I thought id just point this out as my dealing with a pothole ended up causing a bit of a pain in the ****! Went down a pothole on the way home one night while driving down the lanes round my way, it was a large enough hole to make the car unlock the doors! Result for it was: x2 new tyres...

    Potholes bent my alloy - advice!

    Hi everyone Well I was driving along the m25 and went over a huge pothole, couldn't swerve to avoid as that would have meant going into another car, however after that the car was not smooth to drive above 50mph and steering vibrates, also when driving I find the rear of the car moving...

    beware 'repaired' potholes

    happened upon 2 road workers repairing potholes, [shovel full of hot tarmac and a quick roll]. there was tar spilled on the road and the traffic couldn't avoid it. just spent 2 hours of a sunday afternoon cleaning up the mess. both sides splattered, nearside was worst. :mad: before and after

    More potholes than ever..............

    The last few weeks of ice/snow/salt have taken their toll on the roads in my area. Even roads like the M25/M2 and 'A' roads are getting badly affected. Shows up the YEARS of neglect the government have lavished on our highways. Particularily bad areas are on roundabout entry and exits and old...

    I hate Potholes, I just broke a wheel.

    Arghhhhhh, I hate potholes. I have now broken a leg on my Brabus split rim (Monoblock IV, 3 Piece). I didn't even see it (covered with a puddle) and am now absolutely gutted. One leg has cracked all the way through. (These are genuine Brabus btw). It looks like I will be living on...

    The pitfalls of not repairing potholes

    See this story on BBC News website. 11 year backlog? :crazy: So, where is all the money from road tax etc going to? :mad: Good thing that my warranty covers the airmatic suspension :eek:
