I got a new feed and return line from Vauxhall. The return lines are fine but it was found that the feed pipes have been bent backwards and don't fit the car at all. Don't know if they ever fixed it or not luckily I found a second hand one.
The problem you have is most insurance companies refuse to pay for trims. Insurance companies have deals with windscreen companies. Like they will pay a set price per job but refuse to pay for trim, clips etc
If they have to use trims its not insurance companies who pay for them. And as we all know a trim kit for an omega ain't cheap.
If say insurance pay £100 plus the excess. But you have the screen and the bonding kit that's most of that cash away. If the windscreen company has to pay for trim kit. Its not worth doing the job. Hence why they bring out the wrong screen etc. Job doesn't get done and its off or sometimes customer kicks up with insurance company then send Jo to another company then the cycle starts again
Its not windscreen companies at fault its the insurance dictating prices
I had a 3.0 with a left bank head gasket failure. Good reason to rebuild though. So HG failure can happen
But I would listen to the more experienced members first before anyone else. If members want to fight and bitch. Go elsewhere. This forum has great members and loads of info
