 Ah yes true, I was just trying to see if I could get one cheaper second hand! They want £220, which is still cheaper than Citroen’s £401… in my tight northerner head a second hand window should be like £50. I suspect I may just have to accept the reality and end up buying the BL Autos one. Thanks Shaun.

I know windscreen replacement doesn’t affect my no-claims bonus. This may extend to side windows too if I’m lucky.

 James, we know the value of windows and even second hand you would be looking at £100 min more like £150.

I do have one but it's on a car I've still to commit to breaking, I just can't bring myself to do it

I've sold used windows for £125 -£150.
£200+VAT for a new one is a good price IMHO.
You'll be saving a fortune on fuel costs running lpg????

 Hello James,

I agree with all the replies. I had to get a driver's door window replaced, covered by insurance. The cost of the window was around €450. You have to appreciate the glass is not your normal door glass. The BL price is very good.
Several years ago a windscreen was just on €1000.

Best regards,

Phil C.

 I managed to get a new side window for £175 c/o a guy on another forum. However, my insurance company cover windshield and side windows with no effect on the accumulated no-claims bonus. For £100 excess to replace both its a bit of a no brainier and if the premium goes up a little it’s probably justified. Let’s see if Autoglass can actually get the side window for a weird old French car! Fingers crossed.

Thanks for all the advise along the way guys.

Now… to my hydraulic leak!

 Hello James,

That's the way to go with the glass. About a year and a half ago, the windscreen gang here received the door window in about a week!

Good luck with the hydraulic leak. By the sounds of it, it will be easy to find!!

Best regards,

Phil C.
