  My son had the windscreen of his Punto cracked by a large stone on Friday. He called his insurer's windscreen claim line (Nationwide) and the first day they could offer was Monday 29th. That's 10 days, or 8 if reasonably you exclude Christmas and Boxing Day.

• Windscreen radio aerial 17 Mar 2001 (Forum)
  My Laguna (18 months old) has its radio aerial built into the rear windscreen. The problem is that the connecting wire (which is soldered onto the windscreen) keeps falling off. It's virtually impossible to solder onto the glass and I am despairing at getting decent radio reception.

• Windscreen Smears 10 Feb 2006 (Forum)
  Whats the best way of making your windscreen smear-free ? I understand that a lot of the smears are due to tiny quantities of unburnt diesel fuel mixed in with the turbulent air on motorways, so how is this best dealt with.

• Condensation 25 Nov 2005 (Forum)
  As it's that time of year again (the one where you sometimes need windscreen wipers on the inside of the windows as well and it is really unpleasant when you have to use deicer on the inside of the windscreen too) has anyone ever used a de humidifier (chemically based) for the inside of their car?

  My Renault Trafic cut out on motorway. 70mph Pre heat light came on. It turns over but wont fire . Diagnostic says DF056 mass airflow. Changed it and still wont start.Changed EGR. No joy.  Diagnostic also said left front wheel speed sensor but that shouldn't stop it firing up should it?
• Ford Fiesta - fiesta 1.25 engine rattle 24 Apr 2011 (Forum)
  for a little while now i have noticed a slight rattle when pulling off, once moving it goes, i thought it was a heat shield some where but looking today its coming from the front of the engine around the top end, it only does it under the initial load of accelerating, any ideas what it could be, my first thought was valve clearance, its a 1.25 zetek with 84k on it, apart from oil changes it has never had any work done to it.
• A3 suspension creaks 25 Jul 2005 (Forum)
  If I have been driving my 3 1/2 year old A3 1.6 auto (36,000m) around London's bumpy roads for more than 30 mins the front suspension/sub frame starts creaking continuously like floorboards. It does not seem to happen on a long M or A road journey only in town. After stopping for a few hours no more noise so it could be heat build up related e.g from engine gearbox or friction in a bearing/mount.

• Landrover Discover 5 HSE Luxury 3 years - Windscreen sealant failure - serious leak 4 Dec 2023 (Forum)
  I own a Landrover Discovery HSE Luxury (69 plate) which I have owned for 2 1/2 years and purchased an extended Landrover warranty in September 2022 as it reached 3 years old. The windscreen sealant failed in April of this year causing water to leak badly into the car every time it rains. I reported it straight away to my LR dealer (Hendy) in Southampton. They spoke to LR and a claim was authorised and a new windscreen ordered in April 2023.
