Default Windscreen

With 185K miles under it's belt the windscreen looks like it's been shot blasted and in low light visibility has become a problem. Add to that a crack that has started in the bottom corner and I'm looking to replace it.
Are new screens still available? How much do they run at now? Or has anyone got a decent one for sale, preferably Scotland or NE England?
Thanks in advance

Yes, new screens are still available. I was quoted about £185 just before Christmas.

It is rare to get a 'used' one owing to the difficulty in extraction in one piece...

I'm located near Market Rasen in Lincolnshire, and have two available for extraction if you are interested...
