What is the situation regarding UK turbos being brake tested at MOT time as they test the front and the rears independantly. Can this harm th AWD?

Thanks

Justin

yes, not quite sure what this has to do with towing either, had just read the handbook and looked under towing - must have still been in my mind. The test I've just had included a brake test on the rollers - will there have been any damage. Car drives ok with no nasty noises etc....

The brake test should be done with a Tapley meter, all MOT stations should have one. Putting it on the rollers can affect the centre viscous LS diff.
