HELP - broken windscreen in France 110XS L663
Anyone able to assist? Hail Mary request here…
Front windscreen is properly cracked and needs replacement. Land Rover Assistance aka The AA say can’t help - will be weeks. Direct Line / Autoglass / Car Glass same - sorry guv.
Anyone able to suggest anyone or anywhere we can go next? We are based in Paulin near Limoges but only until 04-09. So we have an undrivable car and no way to get it back… [/quote]

Try mail order from paddocks? Worth asking them to send two sepately incase of damage? £62 each.

Thanks all - v quick…! Unfortunately seems a mass shortage of 110 windows for new models. So the main providers have nothing. If there are any good 2nd tier companies, that would help. But feel we are on hiding to nothing

Again thanks all - good to know people are willing to help.

Clarity;
Model- L663 2021 XS
Location- Paulin - near Brive / Limoges-ish
Issue - full windscreen cracked

Landyparts were fantastic help. Couldn’t resolve but really helped. Also dealers now saying nothing available until late September. So basically now this is a recovery issue

Thanks for your help all - I’ll close this now and think it moves from fix to repatriation.

Many thanks

Blimey, must have been very serious impact to render it not drivable.

Good luck getting it home

Wow, talk about pathetic customer service from LR. How can they be out of windshields? Its pretty much a bloody new vehicle, aren't they making them anymore?

Only just seen this thread. May not help but just had a windscreen replaced by National Windscreens in UK. They got one in a few days made by Pilkington glass. Exactly same as original. My car is 110 SE D300 built this year.
