    Sorry,m But I'm a bit vexed!

    Why, oh, why is it legal to transport a piece of junk on a trailer when said piece of junk is only used for scrap race driving??? If it isn't road legal on it's own then why is it legal on the back of a transporter?????

    NOT happy from Prestwood.

    It is very easy to change the glass, undo 6 torx screws and it lifts out....


    ...make sure when you put it back, RAVE says to raise the rear above roof level by 1mm, and lower the front below roof level by 1mm (from memory, can check if you don't have RAVE)


    Hope this helps, (can pdf the relevant pages if you want.......)

    There is a National Lottery add on as I am reading this with a six storey high transporter loaded with VW Golfs!...........

    Anyway as RLS said changing the glass is simple Rave covers it reasonably well any other damage?

    Didn't get the reg number and he didn't stop. The old bill gave me a crime number should I wish to claim on the insurance but with the excess of £100 it simnply isn't worth it. No other damage luckily. Though I'm inconvenineced and annoyed about the sunroof, it pales into insignificance when I think of what might have been a terrible disaster. Charlotte still has no idea how lucky she was.....
