    MOT Advisory: Front Brake imbalance

    No Rangiedaz is right any car that is constant 4 wheel drive should NOT be tested on any brake rollers. If you can select 2 wd then it can be tested on rollers otherwise should be done on the road. You can wind up the diff's and/or the transfer box's.

    Am I being fobbed off?

    Yeah i would go back and get it sorted. It didnt leave the factory leaking so it shouldnt be leaking. I have a customer with a 2002 es auto with a 150k on the clock and no leaks.
