i no there has been lot's of pot hole posts and what top do to report to the council but i'm really impatient and crap at doing stuff like that i went over a big pothole on the stratford road shirley i thought it was bad but thought i was lucky and never damaged anything i'v just found earlier that i'v blown the shock it doesn't look bent i was wondering if i could get hold of a single pi front shock or even just the front pair, or am i going to have to try and get a new set off the council

 

you can by them seprate,, i think you can by them each,, ye roads gone mutch worse with the frost weve had and the council aint got no oney to spend ;(

 

cheers mate i bloody hope i can i'v got so much that needs doing to get my esco back to life after the winter, and these springs and shocks are only about 5,000 miles old so would be a right kick in the cunt to have to get a new set or even wait the forever long to get the council to replace them, i just can't believe it the hole has just appeared, i drive the road every day, i was overtaking and it just appeared from under the car infront i couldn't do anything to miss it it sounded like i'd hit a boulder, i was expecting the strut to be poking through the top mount, but all looked fine till i had a look in my engine bay and was wondering why my shaft looked soaked in oil then noticed the shock was covered too

 

Our roads in this country are shit.We pay enough bloody road tax so why are the roads shit.

 

i dunno it's so annoying i pick the girlfriend up from derby and the roads there are terrible, i'v only lowered my car 30mm and i spend all my time dodging holes and divets i'v no power steering and i have to fight with the steering wheel all the time too it does your head in because tax isn't exactly cheap

 

i no ,,they are shit..i work on the road ..lol theres no money at all with the councils,, im shure they will pay for the damage,,but it will be hard,, i think they pay for any damage done by holes but nothing thats higher than the rad because they say you should be able to see it... (raised manhole)

 

Speed bumps are just as bad ive damaged my exhaust going over one a few weeks ago :-(

 

theyd be ok if they wer a few inches lower,, i think nearly evry car ive had they catch,, or the front bumper..lol

 

yea i can't believe how much of a state they are in nowadays my car is like a bucking bronko down most roads even the motorway is bad, it all takes it's toll too my lower arms are knackered aswell bet they'd last twice as long if we had smooth roads

 

did you go and see the councill matey?

 

There really bad round by me, and the bus's have taken out the mini round abouts lol.

 

So worn out that people just pretend its not there and go straight over it?

Yeah i know that one
