So, NCT this morning in the usual place in Fonthill.
I'll just say at this point that I had bought the car over six months ago with no test. So ran it through in Fonthill.
They tested it no problem and failed it on the handbrake. No biggie, fixed it and ran it through again. Pass, happy days!
Back to this morning...Paid for test and went upstairs and instantly knew something was wrong as I could see my car being reversed back out the door.
The reason....the car was too low!
I explained to the chap that it was tested there not 6 months ago and why can't he do it no? His only answer was "I don't know".
I asked for the manager then and he bullshit away saying the AA were in and they're refusing all low cars. He too never gave me a proper answer as to why it was tested before and not now. He said my chassis was too low to the ground which is not true. (Pic below) Old pics but you get the idea
It's a corrado with a 4" spoiler on the front.
Even the woman on the desk was a snotty c***t!
So plan is to take off the spoiler and bring it to a different test centre.
Deep breath and rant over.
Old pics, didin't have the germans on.
