Guys

I am wondering if anyone can help on this. Currently live in the UK and have a TSL firestorm fitted, everything else is standard. In 1-2 months time I am moving to Ireland. In Ireland a car that is over 4yrs old has to pass a National Car Test, equivalent to our MOT. Basically iam wondering if anyone can tell me if they think it will pass the NCT on Emissions and Noise level?

Any ideas anyone?

Cheers
Adam

 

No idea mate but your insurance will be sky high over there as will your road tax. Post your query in the Ireland section. "Fivepint" is very helpful. Alternatively try the Irish Scooby site "ISDC" :-

Can't make it clicky I'm afraid.

If I was moving to Ireland to live/work permanently, I would sell the scooby and buy an Audi A4 1.9 TDI or Passat equivalent. Much more economical all round in Ireland and hugely popular so residual values would be much better.

Where would you get you Scooby serviced and with all due respect to Irish mechanics, apart from Macspower, there are few if any real specialists over there.

As long as both Cats are in tact your car will pass the emissions test. Mine passed fine with a BPM GT Box shaking the windows. . AFAIK they dont do a noise level check over here.

 

thanks for all your replies guys. Insurance is not too bad, its going to cost a £1600 year to insure over there... Not bad when i know people who are paying approx £2000 for a 1.4 megane.

I will check out some of the suggested irish websites..
