    Thanks

    my headlamp sprinkler doesn't return fully to housing and I have to push it in each time I use sprinklers (it kicks in automatically with windshield sprinklers). didn't have to do it after last nct = it wasn't tested. you need to have two mirrors. if you have two external mirrors then you don't even need window in the back, not to mention wiper.

    Thanks for the info. I did not think it was a fail after a quick flick through the 2014 nct manual i found online. But no harm asking as they say

    It's not a fail and as you say, it's in the manual
    "This test only applies to front windscreens."

    As per manual, not a failure. Furthermore, personal experience - put a car with the very same issue through the NCT a few years ago and it passed.

    Definitely not.
    Also, my old cars front wipers were dodgy in that the different timings did not work. ie, the wipers only worked on one speed. In my case the fast one. Still passed though as the wipers did the job.

    No was a insignia i put a spoiler on the top section of d window and the wiper is slightly touching under it ment to get a shorter wiper to sort that.

    So nct yesterday morning in arklow, was a pass no issue as expected.

    Rear wiper and rear water jet not part of the nct for any one who finds this post in future.
