Ahaha.. Do you live in Northern Ireland? If so all you need is photo ID to fly into the UK or drive. You don't need a passport. I'd try rally up with you if you drove and had time!

Awesome mate,

I plan to be there next year,

Just gotta get the front and rear bumpers changed to ST then it's done. Considering a 3M Gloss White wrap with black roof and mirrors but not sure if it's worth the spend as I'd be looking to colour the alloys then as well maybe just change bumpers and done.

No I'm down in Co.Wexford

If I do drive over to the UK I'll make it known on here first and meet up with a few members if possible but definitely at fordfair 2016.

2 Pint Vintage Style Castrol oil Jug looks pretty good in the driveway

[Stoney871]

Make sure you keep it oiled to prevent rust ;)

Cheers mate I appreciate the feedback,

Sustained a stone chip to the Heated Windscreen today, anyone know if this is repairable using the resin injection method rather than a replacement screen?

I've put tape on inside to help prevent cracking

[GingerFlame]

You've put a tap on the inside? Or tape? ;)

My old car had a chipped windscreen.. suppose that's one positive thing of not having it anymore -_-

I Shoud scrap the car?

Anything larger than 5p in total is irreparable!

what diameter is 5p jeeb I'm in euro's thanks for adding some valid input on the relevant issue ☺

[jeebowhite]

Haha, I keep forgetting your a foreigner lol.

I would say about 6mm? Take your smallest coin and if you don't see any fractures coming out, then it can be repaired but if the fracture exceeds the boundaries then it's best to replace...

Sorry to hear that Lenny. Would your insurance not take care of that? Most insurance policies cover glass I think? Worth a phone call IMHO

[MONDEO TXS 2.2]

5p is 18mm in diameter Lenny :)

Google is your friend :)

I've had heated windscreens replaced for just the windscreen excess in the past ( about £90 iirc )

[jeebowhite]

Haha I was clearly way off, though I was guessing so I apologise for misleading!

I wouldnt use the resin stuff mate as i have in the past and never been happy with outcome as could still see and know the chip was there as you dont get 100% results from it.

Thanks for all feedback guys,

I've gotten in touch with insurance and going to go for the resin repair for now,

If I can't see any difference then it will be fine as it's only the windscreen not as noticeable as I side panel or somthing,

Joys of passing an open flat bed JCB lorry on the motorway ☺..😡...😠 ..😮..😯..😢..😣..😭
