cheers guys.

Any picture of the crack?

Can't say anything without seeing what it looks like.

I had a huge stone chip on the bottom right hand side of mine and I drive my car for a week as I couldn't get a bloody booking sooner. granted after a few days it got a little bigger but nothing major.

UNless it suddenly gets colder, or you're gonna go looking for pot holes I wouldn't imagine it'll get much bigger in that space of time

 

[Mike_Robo]

yeah i was thinking it should be ok

 

[Blondie]

Ouch!

 

[Caz-133cup]

That's nothing you'll be fine
Mine was the size of a fist and had all spidered out.

the twingo windscreen does seem to be made of sugar, i have so many small chips in mine

 

[Daveyb133]

You will be fine driving with that mate

Well, be careful, my old 190e had a small chip that turned into a crack. Took it in for repair but the guy said it was going to be a week for replacement and that i would have no problems driving it around in the mean time.
Don't think he considered how low the car was and stiff the suspension was.

Within 3 hours the entire window was like a spider web of cracks...i couldn't see properly!

If its I the drivers line of sight I'd be wary

 

[Mike_Robo]

thanks for the advice guys, I ended up driving to Leeds and back last night and it was fine, even endured 'monsoon' like rain! aha

Yeah not cool! Not really got the funds this month for a new windscreen! Lol!
Will phone the insurance company today!

 

[Mike_Robo]

It cost me 75 quid with admiral

 

[Lordyb]

Ok, gonna b forced to get windscreen replaced ASAP! The crack has increased by an inch over night!! Not cool!

 

[Mike_Robo]

Ouch, that is a bad one!

I have a full cover insurance and it also includes cracks in the windscreen.

Doesn't cost me a thing to either let it get repaired or replaced.
