My 2004 TD4 is due an MOT next week, which here in Spain is a drive through affair.
When it comes to the brake test, the front wheels are dropped on to a roller while the rear wheels remain on the ground, without spinning. The rears are then dropped onto the roller to be tested while the front axle remains on the ground without spinning.
With my basic knowledge of the Freelander 4x4 system, isn't this going to place various transmission components (IRD, VCU and diff) under a lot of stress and potentially cause damage?
At one previous test I was asked if the car was 4x4 and a dolly was placed under one rear wheel while the front brakes were tested but the dolly was not placed under a front wheel while the rears were tested.
Any thoughts and comments appreciated.
