There is a check-list on your letter of notification, reproduced here courtesy of boards.ie :
I must of got the short version of the letter cause it never had any of this information.
1. Your car has adequate oil and water.
2. The boot is empty and seats are clear of all belongings.
My boot is full with stuff must empty it now
3. The vehicle is reasonably clean (especially the underbody).
4. The wheel hubcaps are removed (only in the case where wheel nuts are not visible) and the tyres are inflated to the correct pressure.
5. The engine is in a fit state to be tested e.g. cam belt / timing belt. You will be asked to sign a disclaimer at the test centre.
6. All seat belts and clips are fully visible (including rear).
7. We also recommend that you have your lights checked and set prior to the NCT.
8. Your Vehicle Registration Book, Registration Certificate or Licensing Certificate is with you when you arrive at the test centre.
Crap i have no idea where this is, will they refuse to do the test if i dont have this. Looks like i might be up the whole night looking for this. Might even have to drive to newry!!!
9. You have your test fee of €49.00, plus any cancellation fee (if applicable) payable by cash, personal cheque with bankers card, credit card or laser card.
10. This letter of confirmation is brought to the test centre on the day of your test.
I never got a letter of confirmation either i got a text message, which i've just checked i've deleted.
phew..thats ok then.
I'm going to try and pay for it with my visa debit card which is uk but it should work over here. I have the €49 just in case it doesn't work.
TonyD how long did you wait for your test to be done? I'm hoping that since i'm quite early in the morning there wont be muchof a back log. Last NCT i had years ago i was waiting for 5 hours!!!!
Friend went recently, went twenty mins earlier then scheduled and was seen straight away. Suppose it depends on staff numbers and numbers booked in.
MY car failed a retest last weekend on emissions, the CO was .47% , its supposed to be .3% at high idle. Its a 99 Corsa. It had initially failed all the emissions categories, but I fitted a new MAF and it only fails on high idle now.
I threw in a bottle of STP last night, but I know that takes a while to work through. Any idea's how to get the emissions down without involving a costly trip to the garage? Thanks.
Drive the crap out of it, thats what a mechanic told me before. Drive in a low gear at high speed (within the limit of course) and its supposed to help.
How did your car do Sam?
Its now €50
.
only thing now is i have no where to put my nct disk? I couldn't get one from the test centre anyone know where you can get them from?
