Lehaut - that's a whole 'nother topic!!

Great, thanks.. And any idea whether you can CT before the expiry and get the new one dated from the expiry? The points above point to having it done *on* expiry and then using the ensuing 2 months to remedy etc...

Is anyone able to clear up the CT date(s) schedule? I'm a little unsure of the exact protocol.. Is it possible (as in the UK) to take a test 1 month in advance of expiry and have a new passed test dated from the finish of the old certificate? If not, does one typically book a test for as close to the end of the old certificate expiry and 'use' the 2 month 'repair' period (should the car fail) to book a garage and get the car fixed etc. and then contre-visite within that 2 month period? And is one 'allowed' to use the car during this period - either for traveling to/from a garage/testing centre, or for personal use? I'm looking at when to (hopefully) book my next visit to France next year in order to sort the CT renewal, and as the car is at an airport there, I need to choose the best dates possible so I can still use the car to get 'home' (in France) and have the maximum amount of time to cover all eventualities. With travel currently being so restricted, I want to get this as right as possible (all with the added curve ball of another possible confinement when my CT is due next April)! Many thanks..
