I've got a 6mm crack near the centre of my windscreen, a MT casualty! I didn't see it at the time but I certainly heard the rock hit! And it was bloody loud!
Will I
need to get this fixed? i.e. an MOT fail? I guess it's only gonna get worse

The thing is my car goes in at the end of the month for a new front clam, I'm just wondering if I should get the windscreen done at the same time??

Get it reported as soon as possible, it can take a few weeks to get the screen ordered from autoglass. If the clams coming off on a certain date, the screen might not be available in time.

<2 weeks and get MMC to handle autoglass as after teh shug incident they take not chances as auto g supply the wrong screens several times. They get the glass in then inform auto and then loosen the clam.

Suspect its only a MOT failure if its in the direct sight of the driver.
This will be the 3rd screen Ed's killed

May be possible to have it repaired. Think they inject some kind of resin into the chip, and they come out to you rather than you having to take your car to a garage.
