    Phone round the independents, who will be quite a bit cheaper than autoglass and might even make worth considering instead of going via insurance.

    I was thinking really what are the costs of replacing a front heated window? If my insurance covers cost I will have to pay excess, so I think for replacement that would be £250, and I know that would be cheaper than replacing private rather than going through insurance. Not sure on the insurance yet as havent called them being bank hol

    Check your policy.
    Most insurance has around £100 excess for windscreens (your extra voluntary excess is not counted on a windscreen), and they must be done by whoever is in cahoots with the insurer, but it doesn't affect your no-claims bonus.
    I want to go back to The Olden Days, when every single thing that I can think of was better.....

    (except air quality and Medical Science ;))
