claim off your local council. Theyre responsible for the roads being in top condition, and if the roads arent, and you damage your car off them, then they should pay the costs. A lot of people have claimed cash back from this sort of thing.

Like said, take it to the Council...

You will need to get Pictures of the pot-hole which caused it, take a ruler to measure depth & also a copy of todays newspaper and make sure its in the shot, so you can PROVE the date is correct...
