mot test - true or false ?

<< < (2/3) > >>

PUX:
the mot place where i have mine done use a tapley gauge and takes it for a spin  :wink:

Dr Neil:
with the new M.O.T computerisation it tells you that you carn't test the brakes on  the brake rollers, you should use the taply meter(however it's spelt)

camaroneil:
i have a posi axle on my corvette and the mot guy normally just forgets to do the rears as he knows i keep my car up to scratch,
dunno whats gonna happen with the new computerised mot tho,
natt

Range Rover Blues:
I don't think the computerised MOT system needs to see the results of a rolling road test, the examiner has to be satisfied that the brakes are functioning correctly, and the Tapely guage is adequate for this purpose, probably more reliable than the rolling road in fact, whhere a lock-up is a pass even if it locks up at low power because the tyres are s**t.

kinkyvicar:
hi i take mine to a place on short heath road erdington next to the builders merchants, takes it out on the road to test the brakes, he seems very fair
