Truck threw up a stone cracked windscreen, getting it fixed on Friday. See what the repairs like...as long as it keeps out the rain and the flies that's the main thing  :smiley:

Just had a crack fixed on my wife's Polo. If it's more than 1cm long, and/or in the driver's eyeline, it's a new screen, which we needed. Good job, on our drive, by Autowindscreens, (AA), with a £50 excess. Worth £50 to have a nice new screen, rather than the 7 year old scratched and chipped item! 😀

Agree - worth a new screen. Had mine done a few months back (no choice as in drivers eye line) and excess was a whopping £140 for replacement windscreen. However much better now. Mine was replaced by autoglass and they did a top job. New screen identical except for where the VW logo was there's a Pilkington one.

The car had the last service on the 3 year plan, and an MOT...which it failed!

There is a fuel leak from one the injectors. Fortunately it is a warranty item they won't give me the car back as they think it is dangerous. A driveshaft boot needs replacing too - not an MOT fail at this stage, but the garage wanted to do it as it is also a warranty item. For information, the car has covered just over 12k miles.

I think I am glad I optioned the 5 year warranty now, as I plan keeping this car for at least another year.

Good that you have warranty cover in place, did the VW garage perform the Mot or do they farm those out to other garages?

Thats my kind of parking space, good choice!
BTW were the cones already in place? Reason I ask is I've been known to relocate them from time to time to the embarrassment of my good lady!

The cones were already there along all the larger spaces.

Disabled spaces further along and no mother/child signs anywhere, looks as if they were getting ready to paint these on...

Supplying dealers. I have quite a lot of respect for them. The last VW I bought was from them in 1993 (VR6) and the hugely troublesome car I owned then was dealt with very sympathetically...
