Typical... whilst loving the visit of MR & Mrs Snowman I'm now gutted that I've had to add another maintenance task to the list. :roll:
I've been carrying two stone chips in the windscreen for nearly a year now but this cold snap has turned them into wandering cracks... both drivers side, one top one bottom... hope they don't change direction and meet in the middle!! :shock:
What's more... I think the MOT is due so it'll need to be done soon... :cry:
Anyone out there a competent windscreen changing operative and does anyone out there have a windscreen for a 1990 V8 Disco...?

Should just be a matter of £50 excess on your insurance policy - won't affect NCB or cost of policy. Prob cheaper than buying a screen yourself. Insurers will repair it wherever your Disco is too :D

if not i have one in back garden for £40

Will be cheaper on own insurance, sometimes it costs nothing depending on who you are with. If you were near by I would have done it for you, used to glaze buses, coaches and trucks every day!! Not a job if you dont know what you are doing, one push in the wrong place and CRACK!! :shock:

As the Auto Glass ad says that the stone chips can be filled and doesnt normally cost a penny but when they crack its the £50 excess to pay.
but they will come out to where ever your car is to do it.

I had a stone chip that was filed and then 4 years later driving into work on a cold morning 4 days before the re-mot test the damn screen cracked from left to right. £60 of my own money to fill in chip and £50 excess on insurance for new screen. I am only 3rd party F&T and I am covered on ins for windscreen so worth looking into.

I can certainly point you towards a major national chain who are totally INcompetent, in case you develop a masochistic streak.
