My MKII Octy has failed it's initial test twice out of four tests. Once for insufficient thread on a tyre and last year for a leaking shock absorber and a worn wishbone bush. All rectified at no great cost and passed on first retest both times.
-
This 6 month nct is a bit of a pain.I'm back in on Thursday evening and it feels like I was only there.Should pass unless I've missed something.
-
With the option to renew 3 months in advance you should be able to schedule two tests per year pretty close to each other so there's unlikely to be much wear and tear between the two.
-
It would be good if they could text us when the nct is about to expire.I almost forgot this one.Even my bin company sends out a text every week at the same time to tell me which colour bin to put out.
Most of the time I don't know what day it is nevermind date.I have on occasion asked the wife what month we're in.Curse of the smartphone talking it's toll on my memory.

Do you need one of them government ID cards to get your bin picked up?
-
No thankfully they take credit card over the phone.

Whats the world coming to when you have to pay the binman by Credit Card .I remember fitting a new kitchen for me mother and telling her to order a skip .She said just leave out the old one and the fridge and cooker Ill give the bin men £20 and they will take it .Bin men arrive Mother slips them a score and the lot is thrown into the truck .

I'm surprised they haven't tipped that Prius in the back of the bin truck by now!!
-
It's in better mechancical condition now than when I bought it 4 years ago Hal.Just replaced one of the hatch struts.It's turning into a restoration project.How's your fancy new one holding up?
-

WTF? The Prius is not on the top ten?????????? That list is rigged. 100% rigged. Typical corrupt NCT buffoons, brown envelopes anall

'It was revealed that for cars dated 10 years or older, the Toyota Prius has the best first-time pass rate at 62pc. Additionally, Toyota occupies four slots of the top 10 first-time passes for cars 10 years or older.'
Prius has no emmsions tests.And it's a Toyota.
-
The heap failed on a rusted door sill.Everything else is grand.In fact my steering wheel felt loose by a few mill before the NCT but when I got it back it was fixed.Happy days except for the fukker jamming a screwdriver into me car.
-
Only cosmetic, no doubt you'll have it sorted within the allotted 28 days.
-
McGuyver will sort it....with some petrol and a box of matches!!
-
The NCT expires in 10 days.Yer man says get a plate welded to it. Shouldn't be more than a couple of hundred to fix.As much as I'd like to buy a welder I'll get it done by a pro this time.My previous isopon repair only lasted 2 years.
Those lads in the NCT shouldn't be allowed to use screwdrivers.That's cheating.

Why not get some vinyl wrap in the colour of your car and stick it over the that spots. They can't fail it if they can't see it 8) 8)
-
I think the rust bubbles gave it away.Another tester might have ignored it.I don't mind spending a bit on it if keeps me from having to buy a newer yoke.It's only 11 years old anyways.The new ones are only for show offs like Halpos..
-
You're too busy spending your money on new gaffs!!
