    Book it now, any date, any centre. Once you have a booking you can change to a cancellation at your local centre online. It's valid for two years from the due date regardless of when you do it, so sooner is better.

    Better off ringing them and setting up an appointment. You could be years waiting for them to contact you. I got mine done last year, rang in May and yer one was like "Ok the next available appointment is on the 12th.... of November!" :eek:

    Got stopped a few time but once you have the letter your OK, the Gardai know the craic about how slow they are. Although they did booked me in for the re-test for 2 weeks later which was good!

    Thanks ill give them a bell now.

    I was lucky the last time I couldn't book on-line because I hadn't the car details yet and when I rang them they gave me a cancellation for a few days later.

    If you keep checking the online system you'll get a cancellation for much sooner than that - there are generally a few available for the following day. It's much easier to do it early, just in case you end up waiting on a part or something.

    Cheers, the girl on the phone was suggesting that, ill have a look now. Im not really pushed as its only about two weeks after its expired, if it went into months id be on the site each day.

    Sorry I got mixed up, basically I was stung with a nct when i bought the car last year as it fell between the 2 years. I assumed it was ncted every two years of ownership not if its sat in a toyota dealership.

    Another one to add to the dont get done by the dealer list.
