It's taken me a year to get the car sorted, welding/resprayed and some upgrades I've picked up along the way (pics in my other thread updated soon)

 

Last finishing underseal on ramp before mot, what's that smell ???? That would be the petrol tank leaking !!

 

Got this replaced :)

 

Anyway, went for mot on Monday ( before tank arrived so smothered in sholtz :) )

failed on binding from brakes and chip in windscreen.

 

So not so bad as car been parked up for a yr, binding brakes no big surprise and easily sorted.... Brakes now sorted :)

 

Now chip on windscreen was advisory last yr on mot, but this time a fail coz it's in driver vision and also too big with a crack !!!!????? So either it's got worse whilst parked up or mot last time not so strict ?!?!?

 

Anyway, tried getting it repaired..... Not acceptable due to crack :(

 

Rang insures as car has windscreen cover, no probs and made appointment for this morning for new screen :)

 

Van turns up, unwraps new screen, gets back in van and starts to drive off !!! Oi mate what's going on ? Ummmmm screen is all scratched so no good and taking it back, we will let u know about another :)

 

All day and humorous calls, they still can't confirm screen, I've lost plot by now and told them to shove it !!!!!

 

Plays balls with insures, yes they do deal with another company..... I call them, yes no probs, is Monday ok to fit ? Great !!! :)

 

20 mins later, we can't do it til week sat !!!!! OMFG !!!

 

The curse of the zed !!!!

Its never easy on these cars when they play up but the windscreen is not your fault mate and why cant they do it sooner? I would push them to get it fixed this Monday.

I have tried mate, but hitting a brick wall with, "that's the next appointment we got"

They must be busy or they are having difficulty getting a screen for a 300zx:sneaky2:

Bell ends... We has our car booked in for a screen replacement the other day, they turned up with no screen as their job sheet said repair!

 

Btw don't forget it needs to be a blue tint screen as its uk spec, if they haven't already sussed that. Imports are brown tint :)

Well national windscreens, the first company, only had the one which was fooked and couldn't find another !

 

Cheers mate I've checked that, apparently blue tint is the only one on their computer anyway :)

had mine replaced in 2012 by a local company.

all in was £170 and was the correct uk screen.

Had mine replaced and it's a JDM - Got a new bronze one fitted

I just had to pay the excess £70 so not too bad, auto glass say they have one so fingers crossed :)

Sat in auto glass waiting for my new screen to be fitted, after over a yr she'll be on the road after the weekend :) :) :)
