I think Bessie is jinkst. :'(
From fridge relay, to timing belt, to part of awning rain rail missing.
Now windscreen is cracked. A nice horizontal crack across 50% on the screen. :wtf:
At least the insurance is covering it & should be replaced on Thursday morning. 📖
Fingers crossed no more problems

Fingers crossed.
Hasn't really cost me in ££££, but so frustrating, every time ye turn round, there's something else.
Need to get on the road again.

If yours is jinkst ours is double jinkst, we got a new windscreen fitted a few months ago and there is another crack on the new one 🇧🇭

One other thing when getting the new windscreen fitted make sure the rear view mirror (if fitted) is in the same location as the previous one if you have Remus blinds, We could not close the blinds when the new windscreen was fitted, I had to take down the mirror.

Cracked our windscreen in France last year - crack was almost full width and had it replaced (through insurance) whilst over there. This year, on second day of our holiday in France, got another chip! Luckily enough it stayed just a chip and we made it home.

I almost feel lucky now <_<
Pat, thanks for the tip. There had been one fitted at a time, but had been removed. Obviously previous owner had the same problem as you, but as we have no clear rear window, we don't need one.
Spatuladad123, I don't envy you that one.
Looking forward to the weekend & no mishaps :-/

New windscreen being fitted in the morning.
Just had a thought - I'll lose my small craic sticker :(
I wonder if Ally could claim the price of a replacement from the insurers the way the windscreen people do :bandit:
It would save me contacting them again :lol:

No problem removing them and reusing them by using a little heat from a hair dryer.

I believe they do. They have recovered my emblems in the past. But don't worry Arthur.

Well, bol*^@%ks to them. Maybe they couldn't be arsed.
At least I still my big one on the back.
Tiny compared to Ally's, but not many would have the room for one of those. o.O
