Well after having my beloved MCC for about 5 months with no potential problems I found this morning a 10" crack running down my windscreen

After having a closer look, it looks like at some pint something has hit the windscreen very hard (can now see the impact point) and with all this freezing weather it must have casued it to crack.

Now i have called the insurance company and have got Autoglass coming out on Wednesday to replace it, but should I be aware of any potential disasters here, as I have never had to use Autoglas before and I don't know anyone else who has?

Autoglass should be fine. They have replaced windscreens on my two previous Mini's with no problems. Just make sure they have the correct screen - not sure if you have top tint, heated windscreen or rain sensors.

And be aware that if you have anything other than a std windscreen, ie visibility pack, your insurance will probably only make a contribution to the cost and not pick up the whole tab.
