Potholes said to cost 12 billion and take 13 years to complete ! Time to get a range rover methinks ......

As long as your Rangie doesn't have 20" alloys.

Guess who is waiting for new wheels because the old ones are bent!

Huge back orders, as all stock is reserved for new vehicles

I was on the A27 the other week and it was full of holes of varying sizes about an inch deep where the top layer of tarmac had peeled off.This is the main,busy dual carriageway along the south coast.Terrible & embarrassing state of affairs.Bloody dangerous on a bike.

The roads in the uk remind me of my trip to Albania .........terrible

The Volvo add on the radio says it all....

"Made in Sweden, tuned for Britain."

For those who haven't heard it, the above punch line comes after describing our wonderfully British roads.

There are 4 new alloys sat in my conservatory waiting to replace the buckled ones on my van.

I'm still waiting for two new wheels for the BMW...its been over three months!

They have offered a new set of four in a different style...problem is I don't like the style.

As you know I've just successfully sued the council for new springs for my Astra due to pothole damage...which I had reported.

The roads in the UK are now worse than those we found in Spain in 1961.......

I'm not paying for them...I noticed the vibration on test drive before buying the car and it was agreed to be fixed as part of the sale.

Little did I (or they) know that BMW have no stock as demand is outstripping supply.

Glad to see you took action instead of just taking the bull**** .........

I've had an absolute nightmare with pothole damage - my car is out of warranty (had 2 wheels replaced under warranty) so when I get a buckled/cracked rim now it's a choice of buying from BMW (at £500 for a front or £550 per rear), get it repaired or chance a 2nd hand wheel off ebay. In 3 years and only 20k miles have had 6 cracks on the rear, and 3 buckled.

My most recent buckled wheel happened driving back from collecting a repaired rear and hitting a massive pothole on the way back.

Admittedly the wheels look great, but the roads are so bad now I won't be bothering with a car with big wheels and low profile tyres in future.
