Hope someone can help!!

I came face to face with a pothole.

Needless to say I came off worse. Rubbers fine!!

I'm after a Team Dynamics 1993 (ish) 17" 5 spoke (Each spoke is split) for a 1992 Legacy turbo.

I can send a pic.

Take a photo of the pot hole and claim the damage off the council. That's what you pay your road and council tax for.
This is getting a bit too common[img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

 

Took Photo

REported it to the council

They said that they had a certain amount of time to respond......... and said that my claim was invalid, and that I had no grounds to make a claim.......

any suggestions???

Would be appreciated

looking at the damage, it might surprise you that bashing it with a Nylon/leather hammer could straighten it quite a bit. Most aftermarket wheels are very soft, and bend quite easily. If it breaks, it breaks, but it can be worth a try. I have used a big heavy Thor copper/leather headed hammer on wheels before, hitting with the leather head. Using a soft head like that wont mark the wheel.

 

try contacing Team Dynamics for their advice on repair - speak to a chap called Lindon - knows his stuff and usually very helpful

Hope this helps....

How can they say your claim is invalid?

Epping Forest council have paid for my tracking a couple of times now!

 

The photo doesn't show, but it is actually SPLIT..........

Thanks for uploading the pic

Is it still worth contacting team dynamics???

Cheers

 

yeah, phone them up - nothing to lose.

not sure how far you'll get claiming off the council - I tried this when I hit a pothole down a country lane and wrecked my geometry - several letters and phone calls later they refused to compensate - their arguement being that after my complaint it (the pot hole) was filled/fixed within 5 days which is within their service level agreement so I had no arguement... grrrr!
