I took my windscreen out and put it somewhere “safe”. My son had pals round last night and it turns out my safe place wasn’t safe
So is a replacement from John Craddock at about £45 (Britpart) ok ? What after all can go wrong with a bit of glass

unlucky ... kids, who'd have em..

£45 isn't a bad price, it's normally the shipping thats the killer.
I agree, a bit of safety glass, what can go wrong...

maybe insurance will get you a nice heated one fitted for small excess

£45 is good, I bought one at cost price for £40 from a local windscreen fitter I know.

I thought it was too good to be true !! £60 surcharges bring the total up to £125
I think I might just go down the insurance route and go for the “heated” one that was broken.

poke two wires down at each end of dashboard with a crimp fitting, explain the timer / relay is duff so you re-wiring it.
this stops them testing it, then wire up at your leisure, mobile centre do a nice kit, its a doddle to fit...........
I ( imean my mate lol) went for a green tinted one at the same time.
I think they come clear, green or blue i seem to recall.
