hey everyone,

have a crack in the front windscreen that has got out of hand now

i was ringing around places today getting prices for a new windscreen fitted

prices are as follows;

O'Brien

$460 or something fitted

Novus

$310 +/- fitted

now i was wondering, are there any local places or 'small' businesses that can take care of this without the high price

i once had to get a rear windscreen put in at a place that is right next to where J-Shop used to be but i have forgotten their name...

any help would be awesome guys, much appreciated

cheers,

Andrew

P.S: my insurance doesn't cover for windscreens, thanks

Hey Andrew,

I think mine was 180 from allwest tinting/windscreens on Bannister Rd (fitted)....but it may have been 280....

Obriens didn't quote me that much though.... Just give people in your area a call, i think novus was the next best price for me from memory.

I might as well ask here..

My windscreen on the bunky has been attacked by what looks like a scourer right where line of sight is, about a 1/2'x1/2' patch. Annoys the fugg out of me when driving. Will a replacement windscreen be covered under the free windscreen a year on the insurance? Or is it just for cracked / smashed / badly chipped? Shannons if that makes any difference.

Thanks,.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
