either compensation or pay for the repair. doubt they will hunt for a brand new one.

Take pic of the pothole with a current newspaper by it so they cant just run along and fill it in.

the council could argue that your car is running unsuitable wheels/susp etc...
Not clear cut.
They also tend to just bugger off and fill the holes.
You'd need something dated (paper) in the picture to prove dates etc
