    Got a kit, pretty much identical, from Halfords for a tenner and had a go today. Came out pretty good. Cheers for the video.

    Yeah...informative video....maybe worth a shout to say at " prep stage" ..if you have access to a pressure washer..you have a better chance of cleaning engrained dirt from out of the chip/ crack.
    I did this.."but not on full power"..I just let the water from the pressure washer continually stream into the chip for 5 minutes. It removed a lot of the road grime.

    Thanks for this.. very useful.. I had Halfords (motor store retail chain in UK) use a professional kit on a previous stone chip and it was no better or worse than yours... I'd be very happy to have had your result. Thanks

    Instructions on mine suggests to heat inside of windscreen with lighter or hair dryer to to ensure resin reaches the entire crack but not to use excessive heat as it can cause further damage.
    My solution to this is simply turn on the car heat setting for windscreen defogger.

    Thanks for your how to guide. I ve got a small chip on my windscreen, not worth paying out £75 for insurance to to fix but I will try out one of these kits. Have you thought about having the cdti remapped for more power?

    • @FNLEW
      @FNLEW  4 роки тому

      No problem and good luck with it. Personally I don't want to. Simply because I have a car that's already performance based that I'd prefer to improve the Type R rather than get my slower car to match it.

  • @kng3414
    @kng3414 5 місяців тому +1

    it works . you just did it wrong and screwed the resin chamber down to hard at the start . the resin chamber has small rubber nipple on the end it should be just touching the windscreen. if it leaks then tighten slightly. screwing it down so much doesn’t allow the chamber to open.

  • @redoz9768
    @redoz9768 Рік тому

    From your personal experience how would you rate the performance of the Type R vs the i-CTDI.. obvs the type R is a type R but 2.2 has nearly 1 and half times more torque?

    I'm really curious to see the video and your results but I can't listen to what you're saying at the beginning because of that background music that also has lyrics. It's soooo distracting, I don't know why people put any music at all but if you must, at least put plain music and not singing which competes with your own dialogue. It doesn't matter how low the volume it's there and it's immensely distracting.

      Even if it doesn't effect your no claims, the twats will probably still put you on the "CUE Database/register" for making a claim, this does put your insurance up. Don't trust them to be fair with you.
      You can find out if your on the CUE if you request it from the organisation that runs it. And you can complain to your insurance provider if they have put you on it against their own terms and conditions and make them request for you to be removed from it.
