Nearly 15 years ago, a nice old chap gave me a Citroen BX via Freecycle which lead me, fairly quickly to this website.  I was wandering round his local church earlier and spotted this wonderful tribute to him.

I’ve had my broadband fitted today

that’ll do quite nicely I’d say

The brand new Princess windscreen I paid for back in June is finally being delivered tomorrow.  About £600, and it had to come via Finland for some reason, made by Pilkingtons who supplied the original screen over forty years ago when the car was new.

Wow that's decent! No waiting for porn to buffer now! 👌

Do you use the Internet enough to need that? You need to get into media piracy if not with those speeds 😂

An awful lot of work has gone into this.

I'm 76 so would qualify.

But I don't like Asda, they have closed the cafeteria and all that remains is a vending machine and a couple of tables near the checkouts.

Accidentally discovered something I didn’t know my phone can do - if you take a photo of a warning light on your dash it will tell you what the symbol means. Obviously we all know what these two mean but could be useful in a borrowed modern.

Something potentially worth investigating is whether the insurance company will foot some of the bill for this? I appreciate its not the same, but due to its rarity, I had to source a new windscreen for my Sirion myself, as the insurance provider's approved suppliers couldn't get stock. I spoke to a very helpful lady who pointed me to the clause in the insurance policy that said that if I used their approved providers then the excess was £75, BUT that if I used someone else, got a VAT invoice for the work and sent it to the insurer they would reimburse me less a £125 excess (which they subsequently reduced to £75 as they acknowledged they couldn't source it, but I digress).

Anyway, possibly phone the insurer or look closely at the glass cover section of the policy because you may be able to claim a large portion of the cost you have incurred having a new screen made by Father Chrismas in Lapland back from the insurer. 

[vulgalour]

It's a fair point, I just don't want to make a claim.

It is worth looking into as glass claims don’t affect your NCD.

[vulgalour]

It might affect my renewal price though.  I didn't need to make a claim and it's paid for now so I'm okay with it.
