Bit of a challenge with the Sirion which might become a major challenge.

Driving back from meeting friends earlier this year and a stone flicked up and cracked the windscreen which was mildly annoying. I held off bothering to get it replaced, waiting til nearer MOT time (having been burned by needing to get 2 screens replaced inside 12 months before...)

I rang up the insurance people, they put my through to national windscreens who took details and said they'd call back.

today they did call back, but rather than the hoped-for "when do you want us to come and fit it m8" conversation, it was to say that they were having a 'mare of a time getting hold of a replacement screen. They said they had a couple more places to check, and they'd give me an update. 

The MOT is due early next month, and is booked in for the 31st. The crack is too big to get repaired I think, but its right in Zone A so no way it can pass as-is. 

The next day saw some progress. National Windscreens came back and said they can't get them anywhere, so that was a no-go. I phone Alternative Windscreens (A local Indy, used them before and recommended) who said they could get one (but ONLY one) and its booked for replacement a week on Friday. 

After an anxious wait, today my new windscreen arrived!

Massive thanks to Alternative Windscreens, who were able to source and fit the last M100/M101 Sirion windscreen in the UK today. I did have a chat to them about  'what happens if I break this one?' and they said that they are happy to fit a 2nd hand one if I could source it so that is an option.

Next job is to tweak the exhaust again, it sits a fraction too low after my most recent modifications and knocks against the rear axle (I think) on left hand turns which is a bit annoying. Its a fine balance because if its too low it hits the subframe, and too high and it chafes on the rear bumper so I need to fiddle about with it and get it right.

Then its MOT time next Friday
