That's bad luck - our roads are in an atrocious condition. Did you take evidence of the pot hole so you can make a claim from the Local Authority (or Highway Agency if it was on a trunk road)?

Sorry to see the damage.
That's a lovely Merc, which model is it?

It was on a little B road or possibly not even classified in the middle of the New Forest. Lovely place to sit and wait for the RAC
The merc is the SLK AMG 55 with an added supercharger and various other tuning bits taking it up to 585bhp which is very entertaining and sounds lovely.

WCA if you take measurement and photos of the pothole, you should be able to claim the full amount back from the local council.
Google what size the hole needs to be, to guarantee a claim payout, as there is criteria which govern this! Good luck.

Good luck with an attempted claim - from (bitter) experience their defence is usually "we inspect the road regularly and nobody has notified it to us"
They will then claim it was inspected a couple of days ago. They will then take a number of weeks to fix it despite your problem!
Rats who are only interested in putting money in their pension pots!

I've had that happen recently side of my wheel bashed up tyre deflated slowly luckily. Was doing sixty-seventy mph on a dual carriageway with heavy rain hit a bump that felt like a tree stump. Now theirs a gap between the tyre and wheel. Giving me a slow puncture.

Trying to find a wheel for a fiat seicento is bit of a pain. Waiting for a response from a breakers . I've hammered the side of the wheel in a bit to keep a better seal so driving on slow a roads till the new one appears.
