Mate, just got one fitted in my 98 1.6 sport, auto windscreens wanted £270ish i think, my dad found 2 places (same company, just two locations) that would fit and supply for £86, did a good job, because 3hours later, my Dad drove it down the motorway with no problems!
By the way, place was called national windscreens.

I can get the number and name of the company definitely next tuesday (8 days time), hopefully sooner, even though they are both in South Wales, you could see if they have another location nearer you? Other than that, just ring everyone in the yellow pages, thats what my Dad did!

I need a new windscreen too :-(

Flying bits of polycarbonate on the motorway are bad - dented wing and bonnet, totally missing one wiper arm, and fcuk off crack in the screen.

Hamman. Phone RAC. If you can get one out of a scrappy car it will cost £49 for a Re-fit. I had mine done . Screen just fell out.
