Neil if you are a resident you apparently have 30 days to start the procedure if not its probably 6 months however check your insurance as that's a minefield I did mine 4 years ago 2002 Renault cost about 600€ + headlights my solicitor charged me 120€ In that the rest was itv engineers report and tax stuff
