no you will break it on std rollers
mine on monday but im very good freinds with my mot inspector lol he fitted my vcu last week said it will never fail its mot lol

are ok so do i need to check that cause i know alot are only have 2 wheel set ups

An mot station should have an accelerometer to measure brake force on a road test.

is it only freelanders that can not be used on a 2wheel brake roller

So, how do we explain this to the MOT station, or will the test script they get for each model of car tell them about it?

well thats why i posted do they no they should not put then on a 2wheel set up or do we have to tell them

This is good info I was not aware of this please tell more

just say to them its permanant 4 wheel drive and it can not go on rollers thay will no

The garage I go to may not be aware I will ask him tomorrow

It looks like we have to ensure the MOT tester is aware, probably worth a phone call in advance.

I said earlier there are intelligent beings out there!

Nope no vehicle with permanent 4wd can be used on a single axle roller set up. if they have 4wheel roller set up they can be tested otherwise they fit a Tapperley Meter (accelerometre) and take em for short drive to test brake efficiency.

Here's some tips for you;
1)Introduce yourself
2)Start your own thread rather than post on an unrelated one
3)Next time don't be so stupid as to use the wipers to clear so much snow

Don't use a station that is going to use rollers. Insist on a Tapley portable brake meter. Google Tapley for info.
