6 weeks is about the usual from China but the stuff is Cheap as Chips and delivery is Free.

You'd wonder how it pays them.
I do often wonder the same, as in the Foil blanket I bought fer a single Euro with Free P+P,
manufactured in China and delivered to Ireland, it doesen't make sense ??

It certainly does not.

Money making racket
Maybe so, but I would advise that you have all your equipment in order before suitability or else you will be paying the 'Money makers' fer a re-test. Between the information you got from the suitability office and all the information that is shared on here, realistically nobody on here should ever fail a suitability test.
As Vikkiz stated you would want to be; "Fookin Thick" to fail suitability and I would totally agree with him.

I also bought this lovely fur-lined denim jacket from China, originally it was fer meself as 2XL, but 2XL in china is either M or L in Ireland, so me smallest fella got it fer his 16th birthday and he was delighted with it.
I had a look at the jacket when it arrived and guessed that a jacket of that quality would easily retail fer a Ton or more in any high street store, but from China with Free P+P, 40 Bucks !

Above is the full (revised) list of what needs to be in your safety kit.
Photo taken from the suitability center in Cork.

Fer me before next suitability I will be taking that photo above and my safety kit in to my local chemist and let the pharmacist sort it all out because I haven't a clue what most items on that list are.


That place  beside the Guinness Storehouse has all the medical stuff including the foil blanket in a sealed box,I think it's about 15 blips.

Ya did !  I told yiz all about it a month ago !

Or you can go to suitability without One and state your claim that you were not officially informed of it,
most likely it will fall on 'Deaf ears' and you will be charged a re-test fee with another appointment.

Ken .with respect .its not up to tou to inform drivers,its up to the NTA, to do so.if they have failed to do that,then they can not reasonably expect drivers to pass this test in the firstUK pla e

A few year ago the guy beside me failed...i asked the inspector why.....he had a torch inside his roofsign for the light for the test.
De-lighted no doubt? 8)

Was talking to a bloke from a certain meter fitting company today.he was telling  me  the amount of fails lately in the SGS  is completely unprecedented.he said they are failing cars for the least little thing.he told it turns out certain inspectiors were taking backhanders to pass cars and were caught.I dont know how true that is,but thats what he told me

I'd believe it, I've seen some vans with duck tape holding them together and wondered how they passed.
