Only thing you have to watch is that they don't to the brake test on a two wheel roller as mine was.. no damage but could have damaged the centre diff.. needs to ideally be a four wheel roller job or no brake test done.

Last time I had a scooby MOT'd they took it for a drive with a little meter sat in the passenger footwell to do the braking part of the test. Mine was a non turbo so I had no worries about them caning it while they had it.

If they road test it, make sure you go with them. I definately am next time, my clutch has suffered from vibration on take up ever since my last MOT [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]
The MOT before they tried to put it on 2-wheel rollers, when it hopped off the guy testing it came over and said "Is this four wheel drive mate?". Not very bright, as he'd been under the car the previous 30 mins, you think he might have noticed...

Blimey, didn't realise I joined that long ago. Have had a couple of scooby-less years driving something sensible and economical. Was all I could stand. One newly acquired Series McRae later and all I seem to see are petrol stations, potential modifications and the needle whizzing past 3000 revs. Love it.

Dave,
I told Rob to take it to you because I know you are very strict on emmissions and it will only pass if it's in tip top condition with all the Cats still in place........
Matt
P.S.
