    After all that happened last year driving home on Thursday heard something hit the windscreen. Never noticed it cleaning the car on Friday but on closer inspection have found a chip and a small crack. Both are smaller than a five pence and on the passenger side so hopefully they will be able to fix them. Only problem I have now is because of our location it will be 7-10 days till they get over. With the roads falling appart even more so since the bad weather I guess i won't be driving this week.

    Bad luck Greig, especially since you got a new windscreen fitted only a few months ago.

    Thats crap, especially when you take so much care with the car and take pride in the way it looks. I hope the repair is better than my screen, right enough it was just outside the drivers side but it was doing my nut, so the new screen was in the week after.

    I was thinking last night while driving through Glasgow there was some huge chunks on the road after all the potholes and all it take is the car in front to kick one up.
    Mini as it was. As it is. As it always will be. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, it's up to you to decide if it counts!

    Bummer Greig. Twice in the space of a few months, you have the worst luck with windscreens.
