get gavin from autoglass to do it, he will then drive off in his van doing 6mph on the roundabout.

I'm not trained in windscreen repair but a 5" crack sounds like a replacement is needed.

cheers , was not too keen on a repair. the car has done 107k miles so is peppered with small marks all over the screen. so it will be nice to look through a nice clear screen

I suspect your crack is too big for Gavin to fill. I'm sure he'd tear fit you a new one!
