All fixed again now :)

As it happens the battery tray is bigger than the battery - so have fitted one that is a bit bigger than the original - and was also £12 cheaper! And obviously higher CCa and capacity - which could be handy! :lol:

And last night/this morning some :censored: threw a small lump of concrete through the side window. No reason. Just mindless vandalism. I really hope I don’t see anyone doing it to someone else’s car.

Got the glass replaced today - £20 for the glass from a company specialising in "small" cars in Halesowen - they break, sell, service and race them! And I fitted it this evening after work.

Simple enough to do as it happens - though I still have to get the glass out from the bottom of the door - so I've left the door trim off for now so I can get in with the vacuum.

Oh and we reported it to the police who, given the lack of information have given it a crime number and closed the case. :roll:

Sorry to hear about the glass and battery, poor girl must be driving a car and wondering what will happen next - you could have bought her a Land Rover if you wanted to give her that experience!

Yeah she is on tender hooks!

Also had the tracker fitted yesterday for the insurance - it shouldn't really affect her as she has been taught to be a "slow" driver - though even when learning the 20mph limits (Of which there are 1000's around birmingham (And not just on housing estates and the like, but main A roads!) :censored: her off!

Only took 15minutes to fit - not looked to see how it has been done yet, but its only under the bonnet somewhere - so I guess directly to the battery and clipped to something.
