    Failed the NCT but the work has been done HOWEVER I will be away for the next few weeks and wont be here to be able to do the retest which means a whole new test BUT on the NCT website I cant book a new test only a retest within the alloted time but I wont be here.
    Will I have to ring them in the morning (wanted to get a printout in that a retest/test has been booked in case I was stopped)
    TIA

    Can't you get friend to take it in for you?

    May just book and cancel. Then rebook as soon as I hit Irish soil again.

    Any country you go to you must have a road worthiness cert for the car your in.
    If you're stopped they'll go through you.

    Yeap...
    Bit risky to drive abroad in not-NCTed car.

    That's not true.
    There is no leeway allowing anyone to drive car with expired NCT to the test centre.

    Rest is kinda true - once you fail NCT test, you can drive for the rest of the day - i.e. to find a garage which will fix your car.

    Thanks for the advice but with regarding to trying to book a test beyond the 'scope' of a retest...

    you ain't biking a retest if it's not within the 30 days.
    full test has months waiting in Dublin anyway so what's the prob?
