NCT test - to do list

[AndyDub]

I failed on high revs. Put two bottles of engine cleaner through and put half a tank of the new Maxol E5 fuel that is 5% organic ethanol the night before the test. No problems the second time round. It is an old car so I also put some oil specifically for old cars in. I used Redex fuel cleaner. I also drove it in very high revs for a few days beforehand.

I will start using E5 and hopefully that will get it under.

Any garage will have them or your insurance company can send one out to you.

Thanks i'll give them a ring and ask for one.

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?

Drop in to any insurance broker, or insurance office (eg, Hibernian, FBD etc) and ask for a three-in-one disc holder (tax, insurance and NCT). They should have no problem giving one to you as you will now advertise their name and products in your car for several years to come!

My insurance was up and they sent me a three disc one even though I don't have the NCT on my car til next year, but it'll come in handy. Any windscreen replacement place will give you one too.

The NCA have some information about the NCT test and car servicing at http://www.consumerconnect.ie/eng/H.../Buying-a-car/Car-service-and-car-repair.html. Worth a read if you have a few minutes to spare. It helped me when I was getting my car serviced a few days ago.
