    Linda,
    Remeber your insurance will have preferred fixers where you'll only pay a small excess. If you let the dealer do it there will be a max they'll pay out.

    Use your charms and gently remind the dealer how good a customer you are and you should get it under warranty though.

    Gee, Thanks Guys :) With Willie not being here I don't think of the warranty/insurance stuff, must be the blonde thing. Mindyou it has it's uses on the charm front

    My minds been scrambled into a pulp the past few days, I think we've got serious interest in our house and I've been having to deal with estate agents/lawyers/surveyors etc and it 'all' happened the day Willie went away :clown:

    Saw a sticker on a petrol pump this morning. Autoglass will fix a chick/crack less than the size of a £ coin for free.

    Funny Ken, I had the yellow pages out last night and found an Autoglass advert and there's one in Stirling so I think I'll pop through cos I'd rather not have to get a new windscreen after only 4 months :)
