NWZ Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Hi Guys, My car is going in for it's MOT this Friday and I think I read in the past something about not letting the garage put the Z on a rolling road / something to do with damaging the LSD? Can anybody shine any light on this before I go this week please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nixy Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 i didn't realise that - my car was MOT'd in May. How do they test it without doing that then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prometheus Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Think they have to use a Decelometer and then take the car out the back and brake hard and as long as it stops within a certain distance, then it passes. There was a link somewhere to the UK MOT site and what was not meant to be tested on the brake rollers. Will see if I can look it out.

Ian Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 It will say something like "This car is fitted with a limited slip differential, do not brake test on rolling road" on the printout that they get at the start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
