Quick NCT question

Homer

Hi Guys,

My NCT is on next Tuesday morning and I have a small chip in my windscreen. Will this be flagged as a possible fail?
I have windscreen cover and could get it replaced (only happened yesterday. Typical!)

Cheers in advance.

I would strongly recommend getting it fixed, they will fail you for anything they possibly can as they work on commission.

I like loads of other people, presented my car for test it failed as lights were not correctly set, I drove home went back the next day and it passed and I had done nothing to adjust them. Also had to pay €30 for a re-test.

Seriously for your own sake get the chip fixed and then hopefully they can't fail you on anything else

if the chip is smaller than a 5c coin you'll pass. ive one in my car and it passed

Thanks for the link Patrick.

The link to the NCT manual is also in the forum charter, for future NCT questions!

Thats BS! Cracked windscreen is a free visual Re-Test btw, completely free of charge.

the chip will only be a problem if its in direct line of sight of the driver

Thanks for all the answers (and the link to the NCT info).
It is a small chip but I guess i'll try get it replace before Tuesday just in case.

Cheers all.
