So the right coils and shocks will stop it rolling over when taking agressive avoiding action at 70 mph +. Don't think so. Top heavy, speed and inertia
overcomes high vehicles every time. Don't worry we'll send you a get well soon card and some grapes.
All you'd have to do is remove all lights and the tester would only be able to advise 'No lights fitted at time of test'. ****ed up, I know!!At the moment i totally agree with you. But the new regulations the EU are insisting on may put a totally different slant on things. Batteries being secured for instance is not covered in MOT but will be in new rules. In some cases they may have a point, but a 60lb battery in a Range Rover is going nowhere secured or not. SRS is not covered but will be in new rules. I can see Maplins doing a roaring trade in small three second timers to stick behind the instrument panel. Modified lighting not allowed, self leveling lights if fitted must work. We know they don't have that feature per se but the EAS does it for them. How is a P38 on springs going to pass that one? Lots of questions to answer if VOSA go to the letter of the law and don't allow a bit of common sense.
200 discos don't have this, can't say I've seen it on any of the 9 300 tdi discos we've got at work at the moment
You put enough weight on them, they'll sit on their arse

Just looked at my 300TDi manual and you are right, Disco does not have self leveling. I was confusing the leveling unit on my old 1986 classic rangie with the upper suspension link on the disco rear suspension. I stand corrected (on the Disco)
boge hydromat self levelling system is on classics and apprently some fenders.Dunno bout discos.Mechanical self levelling? not sure I know what you mean.
and current model hilux
all this talk about new regs is giving me a headache - will see if my coils get through the MOT or not soon enough .......
I just long for the good old days of yore when you could buy your MOT in a bar - computers have buggered that all up ........
Too many bloody (un)civil servants with too little to do expanding the work to fit the timeI just long for the good old days before the EU was running our country and interfering in every aspect of our lives.
What we joined (apparently) was a common market, what we got was something very different where Germans and French do as they like and good old Britain does as its told.
It don't matter what club this country joins we get all the disadvantages and none of the advantages.
Whoops, just fell off me soapbox
