That's a lot of cashola, I've put prices of some of the parts I priced up about 3 years ago. I couldn't honestly believe the cost of one Alloy wheel. :shock: I'm assuming the bulk of the cost is in the steering rack plus removal and fitting of the new one!!
Hope you get it sorted soon mate.

Your going through your insurance so don't worry too much about the cost mate, a claim is a claim regardless of if it costs £1 or £1000.

 

[BillyMcc]

Insurance company agreed to do the work.

Also recieved a "Claim Pack" from the company who grit the roads. Worth a try i feel!

Anyone claimed the council / private road maintenance company for damage to their car?

e.g. Alloy wheel damage from pot holes etc?
