Thanks for the info Trevorb1
(Like I said I wasn't sure if LR logged all the extras that we had ordered on the car, against the vin plate or not).
Well someone somewhere has cocked up.
Luckily never had to replace a windscreen in my life on either of the cars so this is new territory.
I will check on Topix and see what it says.
Excess was £95 and took 2.5 hours roughly to fit
I will post my findings shortly

Drove 1,180 km’s back from four weeks away down south. The D3 was comfortable....then the D4 was better but the D5 is more comfortable again. And the juvenile in me always likes the supercharged engine when it comes to clearing the traffic after the French toll booths
And I won’t complain at 10.3 liters per 100 km average consumption

And plenty of wheeling. Water crossings, muddy ruts, mining roads, and bumped into a few other Disco's too. Well, not literally....

First day back at the office today...And curbed the front passenger wheel entering the garage
A nice chunk of rubber now sitting elsewhere means I need to get a new tyre

Just away to get the screen replaced again. LR sent the wrong one out again, and seems they never updated the details against the Vin plate.
Changing the plates over as well today after washing it. Photos will follow. Shortened both plates

RR, good luck with the hard wiring, am waiting for your pics to do it in my car (and once I’m sure I’ll keep or reject it of course)!
Is a speed detector legal?
Labbix the hard wiring was straight forward, as was running the power cable from the front camera to the rear one. Just a matter of using the plastic tool provided to push the wire between the panels. Never took any panels off thankfully. Just a case of pulling the rubber seals down a bit and running the cable along the length of the car.
Yes will put photos up tomorrow as I never realised the fuses were micro ones and not mini ones. I had a few spare piggy back fuses, but never realised the car has smaller ones. Looks like another Halfords trip tomorrow to get them.
With regards to the Speed camera detector they are total 100% legal in the U.K.
Only thing that is illegal are the laser gun jammers which prevents Plod getting a reading on his device.
In France where they are illegal, they will make you crush your detector by putting it under your wheels. Along with a £1000 fine I think and possibly impound your car.
Are they legal in Albania?
Luckily I never had issues in France when I used the detector
