my car never fails the mot

thats coz you MOT lot MOT each others car to make sure they pass.

i dont have that luxury, the crack is bout 3 inches above the winscreen wiper, they are fitting it tomorrow anyway as it leaks a little and has the top rubber missing, so they gonna replace it.

other than that, the horn wasnt working, but i looked at it today and the relay was rusted and full of water (so thats why the TWIN horns were sounding at 3am when it was raining a few months ago

oops)

the track rod end was on advise last year, so im guessing it will not be good this year.

if only you was closer, i would get it done by you. i much rather knowing the person MOTing it as it is explained better, the guy i used to use, i got on well with, but he retired, the guy i use atm is also on about retiring soon, so as you are young, you could see mee soon. or if you are cheap enuf :P i will come to you this year.

I guess you're not fully comp with your insurance then.

I had mine replaced on my N13 last year for £50, and they came out to me and did it.

Same reason, tiny fook crack

no im TPFT

i cant really complain, the crack isnt small, it comes up 6 inch in the center of the screen, then goes directly across to the tax disc.

its just money i could have done without paying out

screen looks deffo right one, tis a pattern, but just as good, its actually for the later mk2 i think as mine dosnt have a stick on the screen mirror, i assume the mk2 does.

Budget windscreens : 01708 631000 they do have a national freephone number, look it up on yell.com

screen code : "5963ABL" the B= blue tint so i guess G for grey, they dont have the S12 listed on there system, but that is the right code, as i just ripped it off the screen before he fitted it.

I thought an S13 one fitted and was cheaper ? ? ?

umpkin · #8 04-10-2007, 15:32

noone actually said they could be sure it was an s13 one they had fitted, nor was anyone able to check an s13 one against an s12 one.

so i gave up and had this one fitted

Well I checked and I found an S13 screen to be like 4" wider. Could have been the beer talking.
