I was quoted £180 from a very good local firm, I picked up a screen off a pf member for £50 and the local firm fitted it for £30,

My screen is heated, none heated is cheaper

Non heated screens are peanuts - ring these guys, they might have a branch local to you;

Fitting you can do yourself - length of string and some glass cleaner in a spray bottle and you're done in 5 mins. Or if you don't fancy it, as said, a local company will do that for £30 - might even get a local fitter to do it for less as a private job...

Probably means tinted as in the screen has a green tint - standard on virtually all mk4 Escorts (mk3 were bronze)...

the last i heard it was 2 claims before ncb is affected..this was just before christmas when i did insurance work for the company i worked for..i cant see ins companies increasing the amount of claims you are allowed..especially in the current climate and with excesses increasing over the years
