Default Cracked windscreen
Emma's windscreen cracked on her type R last week.

Phoned Autoglass via a call to Moley.... a 10 day wait to have a new screen fitted

Was told by the woman at Autoglass that the car was safe to drive. Now the crack has gone from a small 6 inch one to well over a foot long.

So, taken the car off the road till the new screen goes in

Advice for anyone with a small crack or stone chips they want done. Dont wait, as there is a huge wait now

Well, according to "Gavin From Autoglass" in those bloody annoying adverts, they will "come straight out to you and repair the problem before it turns into a crack!"

Lying cnuts!

They had to order the screen as jap ones are a different colour tint to uk ones, but that only took 2 days to get in

Good job I can give drive Emma around, as she would have to hire a car for 10 days.

Just hope the snow stays away untill the screen is done. Both due monday
