Manage d to keep filling the header up till i got back down the motorway, then, a rock flew up off a tyre and belted a big crack in my screen

RAC windscreens replaced mine, and it leaked water into the car all that winter.
It wasn't until the screen was removed that it could be confirmed that that was causing the leak. There was a 6 inch section at the top of the screen that hadn't bonded. Moral is make sure they know what they are doing. I second replacing all the hoses. ------------- E30 M3 Macao blue metallic Evolution 2 E39 530d Sport Auto, Aegean blue Edition, Sat Nav, TV, comms pack etc. E39 540i Auto, Sat Nav, TV, leather, luxo barge |

yeah got all the hoses on order from C3. got it going again tonight but i'll get some decent antifreeze and change it all and do the hoses at the same time. got a mate that works for ACE windscreens who i know will do it right, not sure whether the insurers will be ok with him tho! |

update, managed to get admiral.....after much heated discussion.....to ring ace windscreens and agree to have them fit it, so my mate did it, i waited till he got it out so i could look for rust. Its had a scuttle so ok..ish..a few other small areas up the pillers got treated. main thing was its in right, the old one did have some glueless areas |
