did you ever find a 'cause' for the smashed glass, Caustic? [ Is the rear window laminated or tempered? Forgot to mention in the earlier discussion that the obvious way to tell Lam from tempered is to look at it through a polarised lens. Just to complicate matters' though, some laminated glass is ma...

yep, it's almost certainly a stress crack, and quite possibly caused by differential expansion of the car frame due to our sun-pal. [There's a thread relating to Caustic's rear screen 'bombed'; the latter is probably knobhead-caused (quite possibly with a fragment of fractured spark-plug ceramic) bu...

same here (but far less esoteric on the 'previous' front) - test drive, hmm, range anxiety, test drive, bought one. I wonder when it will actually be delivered....

Apologies for rebooting an old thread, but i need to contact Londiumperson for his Octopussy Go referral split code, and, as a newbie here, can't do that 'til i've posted some blether, apparently. Have just ordered a 'standard' E, it was difficult finding one actually in the UK and for sale, no wond...
