    My wife has hit a large pothole in her 2010 Ford Fiesta. The steering wheel is jiggling a little now and looking underneath I can see a bit of a ding in the front passenger side wheel. ..
    I was going to take it to the local garage and get the tracking checked. .. but I guess it will need a new wheel as well? Or are they relatively easy to fix?
    16" Fiesta Titanium wheel of anyone knows of a spare. ..

    Cheers guys. ..
     
  2. If it was on a public road take pictures of the hole (also stick a ruler in the pics to show size / depth etc) then call your local council to register a claim for all your costs (New tyre, new wheel, tracking etc).
    If they've recently filled in the hole ask for the details on the filling etc - they are obliged to tell you under the freedom of Info act.

    My neighbour had a similar issue after hitting a massive pothole and managed to get all her costs paid by the council. It took loads of letters to and fro but She got there in the end.
