  1. Hi all i need abit of advise of where i stand. I had my windscreen replaced by autogalss back in April. The day they fitted it, a crack appeared at the bottom. I rang them immediatly and they said that they will give me a call to arrange replacing the windscreen when they could get hold of a seal. After chasing them twice i got a call last week to book an appoitment. They finally came to fit it on monday when i was at work. When they finished fitting it they gave me a call and i went to collect my keys from them. The technician told me that whoever fitted the previous windsceren two moths ago, needed to go back to college as it was a bodged job and the glue hadn't even set! Which filled me with alot of confidence as i had been driving 1000's of miles since being fitted and anything could of happened. I then noticed a loads of scratch's on my drivers side wing. He tried to tell me that someone must of scratched it while walking by. I told him he was talking bo@#ocks as the scratchs went in all directions, which funnily enough would occur when leaning over the car to fit a windscreen! When autoglass carry out some work they fill in any marks that are on your car on a picture, they are then meant to get you to sign it. it states "Signature BEFORE provision of this service" They didnt ask me to sign it before, they expected me to sign it after even though there were scratch's. He said "it has to be signed". I noted on the diagram that the scratchs wernt on my car before the work was carried out then signed it. Anyway couple of question.... Where do i stand regarding the scratch's? Also how can i escalate the windscreen not being fitted correctly the first time as i sure thats unsafe!? Thanks in advance

I know they are sealed units but is there anyway at all to clean them up abit. i.e. cut open - clean - and seal. They let the front of my car down! Are they still available to buy new from somewhere? thanks
  11. yep for windscreen and fitting. i think the only senssible choice is to upgrade my insurance so it covers windscreens

  15. Hi All I won these wheels the other day on ebay but as you can see they could do with a good refurb. I was just wondering if anybody knows of a good wheel refurbisher in the midlands. Also what sort of finish's do you guys recomend for a dragon green corrado?. I was thinking going for a darker finish :?: Is there any chance somebody could do a photo chop onto a corrado? Thanks
  16. Hi All Iv got a problem starting my car. Day to day use it is fine but when I go to start it after not using it for 3 days +, I turn the key and nothing… all my dash lights are on (batterys fine) After about 20 attempts of turning the key a horrible moaning sound occurs for a split second. The car will then start on the next attempt. Has it ever happened to anyone else? Sorry if all this sounds a bit weird. Thanks
