There's always a risk of breaking the old glass when taking it off, a small chip you don't notice plus the tension and movement can crack it beyond repair. To be on the safe side I'd make that a new glass can be brought in fairly quickly if not in stock just to cover your ass.

Other than that it's a fairly simple job to do, especially on an EP where there isn't any trims to remove to gain access like a lot of newer cars have. For someone handy, tools and supplies to do the job could probably be bought for under £40

Cool cheers mate. I'll be looking into just getting a new windshield I think. But first thing I've got to do is make sure it is the windshield. I noticed the black strips across the roof are loose so it might be coming from there. Probably easier to pull the ceiling panel off and see where it's coming from

Discs are fairly straight forward.

Loosen wheel nuts.

Jack car up safely

Remove wheel

Undo 2 17mm bolts on back of the caliper carriers

Knock caliper off of disc

Knock disc off

Clean hub of any debris, dirt and grime

Put a small film of copper grease on hub face to stop disc rusting to it in future.

Clean new discs with alcohol or degreaser.

Fit disc

If doing pads aswell you will want a G clamp to push the piston back in on the caliper then fit new pads.

Then its just a case of reversing the above steps.

If youre not sure have a mate who knows what he/shes doing to watch over and help out

That's awesome mate! That's really helpful cheers man

If you're suffering with warped discs then our "110%" heavy duty ones would be ideal, they have 10% thicker castings to make them stiffer and run cooler.

Cheers mate I'll check them out

Hey guys

So I have a standard glanva V and I've got awful wheel wobble under harder braking. Warped discs seems to be the issue according to a few friends who are much more mechanically minded than me. So can anyone advise me on a good set of discs and also is this something I could do at home with a decent guide or am I better taking it to a garage? I don't have a lot of experience but I want to learn as much as I can but obviously messing around with the brakes isn't something I want to get wrong thanks all!

£156 seems very steep, I had a new screen in my old EP70 fitted for about £50 by an independant specialist.

Hmm I seem to be hearing that a lot from a few friends lately. I'll definitely be looking to go with an independent one if the price is that different. thanks mate

£156 to remove and refit?

I was quoted £130 for a new screen fitted, that was a few years back mind but still.

Yeah I spoke to them on their live chat and that was the quote... Maybe if I rang them they'd quote me different? I'm not sure but like I said above it seems to be fixed at least for the time being so I'll have a scout about and see what other prices I can find. but for now on to the next issue of possible warped brake discs

A small ball pein hammer will do the job, less likely to miss then lol.

Ah yes that seem like a much better plan lol. But it seem I have temporarily fixed it with some sealant from halfrauds. seems to be holding against the rough welsh weather at the moment

I'm seeing a pattern here I'm thinking I'll just go with the safe option at the moment. More than anything I've been after a glanza for about 8 years and I finally got on less than a week ago so I don't think I can bring myself to throw a stone at it lol

Had autoglass bond my rear window in last week they charge £130 for a remove/refit service.

Cool thanks man. I just had a check with them and they quoted me £156 to do the front one. Doesn't seem too steep I suppose.

lol that will be my next option. thanks again mate i'll have a word with them now

Awesome thanks man, Any idea how much they normally charge? or would it be covered by my insurance? I have windscreen cover but I don't know if it covers being resealed as well

Hi guys I'm still new to the site so if this is posted in the wrong place I do apologise I currently have a nice little leak in the windshield right above the drivers side so it's dripping straight on my crotch every time It rains (which in wales is like 98% of the time) after doing some checking online I can't seem to find a price on getting it resealed. Can I get it resealed or would I need to replace the windshield completely? and if I can get it resealed any ideas on price? Cheers

will do mate! I've got a nice drive home through the mountains tonight so Ill get some tidy pics

Hi guys

After dreaming about owning a Glanza for the 8 years or so I finally purchased my first one yesterday! So I thought I'd join this forum with my fellow starlet owners! I'm not going to lie I'm very much a novice when it comes to car but I fell in love with the starlets after having a lift to Japfest in 08 in a GT Turbo but decided I liked the Glanza's more. So I'm here to learn as much as possible and have a chuckle along the way! I've only got the one photo of the car at the moment but I'll post some pretty shots of it with the welsh valleys tonight!

Cheers all!
