    Thanks limericklad87 but test is Tuesday week so not in a serious panic at the moment. Its just I could foresee them guys charging me a small fortune. It wouldn't be too bad only I've already spent a small fortune rectifying other issues on car for retest. Thanks for your response all the same though, appreciated

    Des Kennedy in Garryowen. He does it for a tenner.

    Thanks cookiemunster. I'd be happy out if I got it done for a tenner. Am I right in saying hes the auto electrician guy located not too far from the back of tobacco land cash and carry?

    +1 for Des Kennedy. Every car I've put through the NCT never failed on headlights adjusted by Des. You'll laugh at the contraption he uses but it does the job.

    CRC Garage on Childers Road. Going from city centre take left on roundabout and then first possible left to Units. Then straight through them. It's at the end. I think that they might be changing address soon so give them a call to be sure..
    I've done my belt and suspension there recently with pre NTC check. Good guys

    Don't think anyone is going to beat a tenner, and Des knows what he's doing, god knows he's been doing it long enough.

    I called into Des Kennedy there during the week. He said he'll do them alright. He said best to leave them to as close as possible before the test though as if I hit a speed bump fast or a bad pothole I could knock them out of focus again.

    I have the test late Tuesday evening so gonna call in Monday evening after work to get em done. It's not like I'll be doing a lot of driving in the meantime. He seems to be a gent in fairness:)

    Des is a legend, the only Limerick man to score two goals against Real Madrid, back in the 1980s.
