   Just got home from work and noticed a crack in the windscreen about 7 inch frigging long, does anyone know how much roughly for a new one fitted? And where from? Any help appreciated.

   You fully comp mate, if so you can get it done for like £50-£70 excess covered on your policy?
   
   If not, I think Autoglass charge like £200-£300 which is a rip off
   Check the yellow pages because i remember getting one fitted a few years back on my furio for like £110

   Probably not popular with some insurance lovers in here, but to save on £300+ just before Christmas, id check your cover and maybe you will only have a £50 excess to pay for a replacement. It normally doesnt affect any No Claims Discount for a window claim.

   Some salvage yards if they have a scrap car in with a good windscreen will supply & fit it for you mate.
