Tintop Windscreen replacement - can I claim?
Got a dirty great big crack at the bottom of my windscreen, about 6 inches long 
Need to get it fixed, but can I claim off ins?
I dont have agreed windscreen cover, and I'm TPF&T, but I also would rather avoid paying £200 to get some random man in a van to fit a new
one...
Any ideas?

IMHO if it is not stated in your insurance cover then the chances are that you do not have cover.
If the crack is not in your vision then you do not need to replace it at the moment. Shop around and you may be able to get one fitted a lot cheaper.
'some random man in a van' may be your best bet.

Another option would be to buy one from the scrappy's and pay someone to fit it. Would work out alot cheaper than a new screen.
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

These days TPF&T is usually dearer than fully comp.

I passed an MOT with a 2ft crack that ran across the bottom of the screen just under the wiper blades.

I think its ok if the crack is outside of the swept area. Iv always been asked if the crack is in the swept area when i have claimed for a windscreen.
