I am about to remove this standard, unheated, black windscreen from the car. I want to give you as honest an appraisal on its condition as I can. I'm a bit OCD so probably being incredibly critical/fussy, but having now thoroughly cleaned it and looked at it very closely with work lights from various different angles, I'm quite surprised at the number of really tiny stone chips/marks. The car (and I assume the screen as I believe it's the original) has done 18k miles, so the screen has definitely been used. Under normal daylight conditions it's quite difficult to see most of the chips, it really depends on the angle/brightness of sunlight. There are three, marked with white tape, which are 1mm2 on the drivers side. Unless they've happened between April 2019 and January 2020 they didn't show up on the MOT last April, so I assume they don't affect the MOT. Otherwise it's in pretty good condition. Packaging: you can buy a special box which the factory use to send out windscreens; it cost me £45.24 including postage to send it to me. I've used it to buy and get delivered here a polished screen and having fitted the interior with Celotex insulation, bubble wrap and corrugated cardboard, it seems to work…. well the screen arrived from Essex in one piece! Postage: The packed screen weighs around 11.5kg. As an example, Parcel force 48 UK postage at 12kg costs £23.40 I was going to put an asking price of around £150, but I think given the tiny stone chips I would be looking for sensible offers around £100 plus post and packing. Alternatively collect, if you are near North Devon. Thanks Gareth

Heated windscreen taken in part exchange, no known provenance. Black surround, standard height, to fit wide body. Generally good condition. Some tiny stone chip damage as shown in photos. £150 ONO excluding delivery and packaging. If you're not in a hurry for this, on receipt of payment, I can hold it until collection can be made. Alternatively if you can't collect or want it sooner: Delivery by Parcel Force 48 to UK quoted cost £23.40 for 12kg weight Packaging in Westfield factory supplied ply box, interior fully insulated and padded by me. (This method has been used successfully previously). £45.00 Please note: there is no insurance/compensation available for this and the buyer accepts responsibility. Any questions please pm me. Thanks, Gareth

Final item on the shopping list to find. Just need a polished windscreen. If it's heated that's a bonus ( I have a new, unused black one which I would be willing to part exchange or swap depending on type/condition) but just a standard screen would be a start! Glass must be in good condition please. If anyone has or if you know someone who has one please PM me or call 07771 683133. Thanks, Gareth

Hi, Bought a S/H screen & Pillars from a fellow member because black suits the car better and my old Ali one was a bit tatty. I have noticed that the curvature of the bottom of the screen looks significantly different... Dan did mention that getting seal between screen and scuttle had been a real issue - Has the scuttle and screen shape changed over time? The Ali one fitted well, the original screen and scuttle from a kit sold in 1991. The uprights are different too but as far as I can see only in the mirror attachment (recessed vs flat) Cheers in anticipation of your help, Jim

Broken windscreen for a wide body I only need the bottom half of the frame Thanks chris

More items in the garage clearout.... Also a very simple but effective differential breather bottle; Seems a shame to junk it... £5 + postage. A lightweight windscreen washer bottle. I made this to save carrying a kilo of washer fluid around and taking up a decent size space under the bonnet. Passed the MoT every time, it just means that you carry less than a coke-can amount of washer fluid with you...Perfect! (how often do you manage to drain a washer bottle in a Westfield?!). It's got the T shaped connector with a couple of inches of wiring tail, and also a black washer spray nozzle...SOLD And a Ford Sierra handbrake....SOLD (I've also got a handbrake cable if you really need it - not the best condition but may be useful to someone?)

I have two Westfiels winscreens I need to re glaze - any suggestions please?

Would anyone have an EU spec windscreen that they no longer require? It is about 2 inches higher than the standard, and I think that they would be fitted to a sport turbo model originally. Thanks Mark

Hi chaps, Not exactly very technical or sophisticated engineering, but need guidance anyway. The windscreen and hood are probably about the only thing on my Westie that date back to its 1991 origins and as such, they have the studs along the top of the screen rather than using the channel fitting. I never really use the full hood and was looking at getting a half hood instead. Rather than fitting a whole row of poppers into a nice shiny half hood, can I convert across to a channel? Is it just a case of removing the studs and filling the holes with some flush countersunk bolts? and....should I ever want to use the old full wet weather gear again, is there anyway of converting it to work with a channel. Sorry to be ignorant but when studying other peoples cars I can't say the hood fixings have ever been high on my priorities. Thx Gary

Has anyone got a windscreen frame they don't need? For a widebody. Always wondered why I couldn't get the top of mine to line up properly with the roll bar and after careful measurements find the frame is distorted. Obviously made like that as no amount of bending would correct it. It is over 10mm taller one side than the other. The glass I have removed is fine and the correct shape. Only need the frame so cracked glass, or preferably removed, isn't a problem. Shiny or black, not bothered. Thanks.

Fitted the half hood on Wednesday and took it for the first drive to the Cotswolds meet last night. Fortunately, it doesn't seem to flap much, or due to my compact nature it doesn't flap so much that it hits me on the head! However, it does seem to tug on the windscreen a fair amount. Is this normal? I only noticed it through the image in the rear view mirror bouncing when the car wasn't. If it weren't for that I wouldn't have noticed it at all. It's probably only moving by a small amount but it's just being exaggerated due to the mirror. I think that when the roof is flapping slightly, it's pulling the top of the windscreen down. There doesn't seem to be any play in the windscreen mounting itself, but there is a small amount of flex in the scuttle which is probably where it's coming from. I've checked the bolts and they're all tight. My theory is roof bars between the RAC bar and top of the windscreen will solve that issue by providing some rigidity. However, just checking there's not something fundamentally wrong that by fitting roof bars I'll merely be hiding. So, is this something others have experienced? Presumably with the full roof too.

This could easily be cleaned up with a bit of determination -will need some frame screws drilling out. Has glass (cracked) , rubber trim etc. Could be the basis of a cool cutdown aeroscreen Small donation to WSCC dervy & notts charity and its yours.. Collect only please.... 07971 599529 or pm me.

Having a bit of a tidy up in the garage. Team Dynamics wheels. 4x108 7j x 15. Afraid I dont know the offset, but they came off my car and they fit that! They have a pair of Toyo Proxes T1S and a pair of Avon ZV3. All tyres have 4 - 5mm of tread. One of the centre caps went AWOL, so only 3 centre caps available. (I realise Ive only pictured one) £SOLD Momo gearknob. Carbon fibre effect. £SOLD Wind deflectors, used so use a few light scratches but nothing too bad. £SOLD Widebody windscreen with supports and mirrors. This isnt in particularly good condition, the screen has a chip in it, the paint is peeling off one of the supports, one of the grub screws that hold the screen in needs retapping. Make me an offer and collect if from MK. £SOLD
