Hi All,
My stepdaughter hasn't been very lucky with cars of late. Last (tidy) Rover written off by a drunk on a roundabout, then this cheapo ex family 214S blew a head gasket after a couple of months.
We had the work done (semi -mates-rates) and it's seems to be holding so far. It went straight through it's MOT yesterday so that was one blessing at least.
Last night she was woken by 'an alarm' but thought it was a neighbours car as they were already up and out, (apparently as she found out this morning) in time see a lad running away from stepdaughters car and leaving her a broken n/s quarter light.[1]
The first she knew that it was her car was this morning seeing the broken window and a note from the Police saying 'If this is new damage please contact us on ...' and then speaking to the good neighbour.
I've rung around ... new window are £75+Vat + fitting but I may have (finally) found one breaker that has one and for £15.
Any tips on replacing said window please?
Cheers, T i m
[1] The *only* thing she had in there was the child seat. Would that really be worth breaking into a car for or would they be trying to nick the car itself (but it's a Rover 214 ..??).p.s. Would it be right that this glass should be common to all 'bubble shaped Rover 200 5dr's, 95-05' please?
