      I know, just started car in shop car park and got service lights message. Reset after 1 minute. Just gets me so mad, work so hard for something nice, and through no fault of mine it gets ruined. Those that don't want or need nothing happens .

      Hey ho will have to live with it, might try a self repair at some point.

      I need to enjoy this car.

          Think the going rate for wheel repair is about £50.

              Cheers guy's. Gonna live with it for a while, keep eye out for decent second hand wheel and jack etc and use that as a spare. If not will get all four done when finances allow.

                Bugger! ....I won't make any move that could damage the car or break the law for any emergency vehicle. They're taught to get around us.

                    Yeah they have the extra training including keeping calm under emergency driving situations but I've seen them effing and blinding at me when I have nowhere to go except up the kerb or through a red light. I find police are the greatest bullies in those situations. They're growing more wary in the age of dash cams though

                      Ouch heartbreaking feeling eh!

                      I was the same, never curbed a wheel in my life but parked the Insignia in a curb side bay and didn't realise it was one where the top of the curb sticks it more than the bottom.. cue that metal grinding/crunching noise

                        I feel your pain mate.
                        Was heading through Waltham last night and some arsehole coming the opposite way wouldn't stop even although the cars were parked on his sude.
                        I had to swerve in and basically 3/4 of the passenger front rim is ripped around it.

                        Gutted isn't the word to use

                          Probably some small crappy car also .

                          Yes understand your pain. I'm not the world's best drivers, but it's all the other idiots on the roads that scare me.
