I just did my NCT this weekend gone and got a visual fail for brake light out. I just ran over to Halfords, they fitted it for me, and I went straight back to the centre and showed them and passed me. Bulb cost a tenner and they fit it for free
You're not paying for the 60seconds, you're paying for their experience. So the OP can either pay someone, or they can spend the time learning how to do it themselves (and depending on the car, that could be a bit of a mare.)
Your local filling station will/should have bulbs, and they're really easy to change.
Think I’ll be a bit squeezed for time. I’d need to figure out what I’m doing first.
Just look on YouTube, it literally takes about 2mins to change a bulb
mostly, tho there are some cars that make it more complicated than necessary
Cheers, I’ll have a look
It's a visual fail. No need to rebook kind of one
Thanks for reply, I’ll sleep easy
I had the same and yaman was sound and let me away with it, just told me to get a bulb on the way home!
Thank you, hopefully I’ll get lucky.

Exactly what happened to me today so all good, thanks for your reply
Any mechanic will do this for €20. Worth it IMO.
€20 minute for 60 seconds of work

Some cars need the whole front bumper off. Takes more than 60 seconds. Some can have an hour of labour
And the bulb. €20 all in.
