can I get a new rear windscreen without paying £500 for a heated one? if anyone knows of a supplier I would be grateful for details.
Or has anyone got a good second hand one for sale?
Has anyone tried to polish out scratches, was it successful?

Re: v8 250 rear windscreen
Hello Chris,
Glass scratches can be removed but is labour intensive and time consuming even for a minor scratch.
I have used Frosts scratch remover in the past with excellent results: https://www.frost.co.uk/glass-polishing ... epair.html
What I will stress, is that you need to ensure you do not apply the pad with the cutting compound for too long a period on the glass due to heat generated; in some cases the screen can crack.
It is certainly worth trying but do adhere to the instructions.
Spare screens do come up and a case of keeping an eye open via the usual channels. I have never fitted a front or rear screen to a Daimler V8 250, but my understanding is that it is a b****r of a job - even the professional fitters consider it as a premier challenge !!
Good luck.
Richard.
