So discovered a nasty crack/chip thing in the screen. Was very windy overnight, must have blown something quite hard on to the screen to crack it. So got the insuranec involved and windscreen company tried to attend last Friday. However, was told that they need enough space to park side by side, so they can extend the canopy, because it was raining. Didn't have the space, so rebooked for Tuesday. They turn up Tuesday at a different place with plenty of space, only to be told that they have ordered the wrong windscreen and the fact that it has a forward facing camera, needs to be properly calibrated at the workshop. Now have a session this Friday, for up to 4 hours, for them to replace the fricking thing....sighs, the joys of modern tech...

Don't scare me, now worried I'm going to be told tomorrow, after going to all that effort, that they can't do it :p

Then I need to get the wife on the phone and then there will be hell to pay...

Thanks for chiming in, didn't realise I hadn't followed up on this thread. I had to take it into the workshop, who thankfully had the correct windscreen. They did ask me if I wanted to have the chip repaired, which would have reduced but not totally eliminated it. Was worried leasing company would be silly about it, so I just told them to go ahead and replace the whole thing. Was a shame that I had to travel quite some distance to somewhere that could do the work though, instead of using the mobile service that come to you.

Shame that I need hand back this car later this year and I want to try a different car to see how they weigh up against each other.
