3rd Puncture in 3 months!

Hi all,
Getting the hump now. First two were screws. One needed a new tyre, the 2nd was repairable. Just hit a pothole and now have a flat tyre. Probably a cracked alloy.
When will our government do something about the sh*te state of our roads!!

Entirely agree with you.
Hit a pothole the other night and my passenger thought we'd hit something.
Got an MOT in a few weeks so half expecting something to be found.
Cant believe we have to pay so much in road tax for shoddy roads.
Cant be just us either as I often follow people dodging potholes like I do..
Grrr

I tried to swerve it but something coming the other way so I had no real choice.
Proper PITA.

Feel your pain - I had one 30th December last year and had done 15miles on a brand new tyre which couldnt be saved FFS

So turns out it's another new tyre and a buckled wheel! I am booking an inspection with Audi to check the suspension out.
Look at these and remember it was dark, raining and this was full of water so looked like a puddle.

Yep, all going through Herts council now. They actually sounded genuine but we’ll see.
Wheel is £1340.00 + vat from Audi.
