Grrr, just noticed a 4 inch crack (no jokes please!) in my windscreen!

Bottom corner, drivers side. Is that an MOT fail? How urgent is it that I get it fixed. Could learn to live with it  I guess unless it's imperative that it's repaired or replaced. Advice welcome, thanks!

  • If I can't fix it at home, it ain't getting fixed.

it may pass an MOT if it does not obstruct your field of vision.  However it is likely that it will get worse due to chassis flex and if I were you I would get it changed sooner rather than later.

Check your insurance and your cover for windscreens.  It may not be as painful as you think.

+1 best to get it replaced sooner rather than later. I replaced mine on insurance, excess was £70 I think for me.
