I got everything done and had the lights checked on the morning of the re-test only for it to fail on a bulb which had mysteriously blown in the space of two hours. I had to get it fixed at this mechanic (conveniently hmmmm) next to the NCT centre and pay yet another €27.50
I brought my wife's car out for the NCT and was failed on a bulb that had strangely blown on the way to the test centre. I thought it very very strange that the bulb should blow at that particular time but put it down to coincidence
or if one of the lights is brighter than the corresponding light on the other side of the car.
Theyre being flexible to get people used to the rules. Eventually they will be applied very strictly and you will have to pay a second fee to have the car retested, after a minor fail.However, he told me I could go off and remove them and call back when it suited me and they could then be inspected and if all was ok the car would pass.
I came back about an hour later,the wheels were inspected and I got my cert, no extra charge.
They arent all bad.
Very strange you should say that. I brought my wife's car out for the NCT and was failed on a bulb that had strangely blown on the way to the test centre. I thought it very very strange that the bulb should blow at that particular time but put it down to coincidence (I'd checked the bulbs before leaving for the NCT centre) but now I'm not so sure it was a coincidence....
A lot of bulbs seem to give up the ghost on the way to the NCT.
Interesting, girl in work just got NCTd last week and bulb mysteriously blew on way to NCT centre - she was advised to go round corner to get new bulb.....
how, pray tell, are the testers breaking the bulb filament without breaking the bulb and taking the bulb out of the car? bearing in mind all the testers can be seen working through the viewing windows.
