I for one would appreciate any further update on this. Did the crack appear suddenly or gradually? Did you hit a pothole or anything? If it is a stress fracture, stress from what? I have experience of several TVRs with delaminated windscreens, always lower corner, due to the fact the windscreen was the stiffest part of the bodywork, and therefore took the the stress of body flex. I would not expect this to be the case with the Alpine, but it does sound odd.

Wind on to yesterday and I picked up my brand new Alpine bleu car from Glasgow. With a 355 mile journey home I think the car is amazing. I got the nice cover but thought Premiere owners got a gift pack? What was in it as I heard you get a book and model car?

Anyone?

when driving seems to sit low lower at 80. just wondered what ever one else front fan does when idling for 5 mins?.
Hi Ollie,
can't confirm the fan timing but can confirm that mine,when idling after a 10minute drive on an already warm engine, moved to 101 on the temp gauge. I turned it off after a few minutes rather than stress the system but it wasn't going any higher. Once on the move again it soon dropped to 80ish. Force of habit with owning classics is the constant temp/pressure check!!

Just a note, at 2600 miles I had to top up my coolant as it was on Min. The n/s one. Filling to o/s one looks a bit tricky.
