dropped the wheel with tyre on at LAPTAB in erdington at 8.30am and was ready for 10.00am for collection same day !!!!!!

total cost £45.

 

dhorwich how long did it take for a reply from the council ?

 

rayman,

Just spoke to my old man who is a soliciter and he said you should have a fair chance..... He said take a pic of the pot hole and the wheels.... if you can find the offending pot hole then find one.. this was my idea not my dads..

You should claim for a new wheel... you could make a bit of cash bet one of them wheels is prety expensive....

It took a bit for him to get some money out of them if i remember rightly.... could be worth finding out if anyone on scooby net is a soliciter and get them to write a letter.... or i could ask my dad..!

Dan

 

cheers Dan will start up the paper work this weekend myself and see what happens.

thanks for the TIP

 

Just out of interest what grill is that on your car.... and did you fit them STI fog light covers yourself..?? ive got some but they dont have brackets..

Dan

 

Hi Rayman
What front brakes are on your car? The discs look huge and the calipers tiny, but looks cool!
Cheers Col

 

Dan the grille is a 22B replica, brought it off somebody off scoobynet a while ago. The fog lamp covers came with the car when I imported it, I belive its a early sti wagon it has IC water spray, 4 pots, silver intercooler, sti exhaust etc... the lads at GGR confirmed it with the chasis no. Had it rolling road pushed 280, had a PPP ecu installed recently, downpipe, GGR induction, T4 Hybrid turbo feels much stronger have,nt rolled it since.

 

cheers mate... looks nice...

Good luck with the council..!!!

Dan

 

Hi Col the brakes are subaru 4 pots with Mintex race pads, discs are 335/32. Stops a BIT quicker!!

I will try to take some close up pics 2moro if u want. At the moment its been in the garage as my coolant tank is leaking like hell throwing green fluid everywhere. Have'nt found a replacement anywhere yet.

 

Don't be a k**b and try and get the cost of a new wheel and tyre as previously suggested.
Just be honest and claim the cost of repair and a tyre if it needed replacing. Why is it some people seem to have a need to make a buck at every opportunity? You should get your money back though. Our local bus company claimed for exhausts and suspension/brake parts after speed humps were put on the local bus routes.
