Update:
The cheapest estimate out of three so far is £2,795. So it has been declared a write-off. The Council are footing the bill, and a 2011 Ford Focus 2,0 TDci has been supplied as a courtesy car. My wife's friend works for the Crown Prosecution Service, and can't do without a car.
Her insurance company has gotten involved, and together with an engineer's report, the council have no choice but to pay for a replacement car. Interestingly, the AA recovery guy said he recovered a 2008 Ford Transit Connect just days before this incident, a victim of the same pothole, though in that case, the damage was limited to suspension components. He included this in his report, and the CPS has taken care of the rest.
Fingers crossed.
