Then you ring them up and ask for a claim form...and badger them on this as you can imagine they arn't in any rush to send one out! Fill it in, tell them exactly what happened, speed, time and date of incident etc...and the damage caused. When you get the repairs done make sure you have reciepts for everything. I have claimed before for a buckled wheels and knackered tyre due to a pothole which turned out to be a manhole which belonged to united utilities and i had to claim against them instead...it took 6 months but i got my money back! If you want any more help dude drop me a PM

Cheers for the info, does seem long winded and ford will charge me an arm and a leg for it. I might be able to glue the crack and paint it smooth, but dunno if it will look the same

Right here is pictures of the pothole damage

Here is the part that fell of naturally. It happen on my offside first and I lost the piece, when I checked the other side the bolt was gone and the cover just resting in place

Make sure yours are locked in place

The do the pedal response has really improved. The pads and discs are unbelievable good. Only downfall is they do squeal a bit in the cold. Not to bad now I have fitted braided lines

Yeah I have worked 10pm-6am last night so when I got home when it was lightish I was fucked hahaha
