I'm glad the Police have time to measure potholesD366Y wrote:
Also saw a picture of a copper up north measuring the depth of potholes and accompanying message saying that if they are below a certain depth then they aren't a matter of concern!

Stupid rule really... I like the idea of taxing the petrol as it makes sense, the more you use the more you pay! Seems much more fair than forking out £245 a year for the luxury of not being able to drive anywhere unless I look like a drunk swerving all over the place to avoid the potholes!

Our Focus has developed a water leak in the bootPaul G wrote:
It's been a brilliant car for the last 7 years I've owned it but it's the oldest daily I've ever had at nearly 12 years old. Got to raid the piggy bank for a new one now I've decided. Can't be doing with rolling around on a narrow wet driveway grovelling about under cars at my age and size!
Sealed where I can get too but still coming in 
The Focus has only done 40k on a 07 plate, so may as well keep it.Yes, they will need to know where it is and to see it, and if a certain size then it is possible to claim back vehicle repair costs.D366Y wrote:Someone in the office tried to claim back for a puncture on the local roads and they demanded a picture of the pothole with a description of the location so they could investigate it.pbar wrote:You might be able to claim the costs for that back Paul.Paul G wrote:still can't fill in the pot holes in the roads causing me to have a broken spring last week.
I had the same issue in my GL! It's not moved for around a year, came back to the car to do some bits on it and its basically become a swimming pool in the spare wheel well... Siphoning that off was a tasty treat, the orange lumps really did it for meandyd wrote:Our Focus has developed a water leak in the boot
The spare wheel well was 1/4 full of water 6 weeks ago so had it all out and dried it off, have paper towels jammed in the area where I see it dripping now
Thanks for this Paul, I'll have to have a look next time I can get out and it isn't hammering down with rain!Paul G wrote:With flooded wheel wells I just drill a couple of 6mm holes in the lowest lying of the floor bungs. Any excess water will run out then and it won't get back in in normal driving with two small holes like that.
Obviously finding the source of the leak is best and in my experience it is either the tailgate rubber (pull the tailgate down a bit tighter?) or the rear light seals. Condensation build up in unused vehicles can find it's way down into the wheel well as well.
