it can damage the centre diff , it shouldn't be tested on the rollers , it should be road tested

Thanks all thought i would confirm it before i go for my test on saturday. Rather that than end up with my gear box in many pieces.

I can't see the brake rollers damaging the viscous center diff, not for the slow speed and short duration of the test.

As already said needs to be done on the road and that's from a mate who's an MOT tester.
