2 or 4wd, 2wd on rollers, 4wd on the road, unless the mot place has the new type rollers which can do 4wd cars.

Its a 2wd and the place I get it done they can do a bind test on both wheels but it also does single, on the safe side I will stick to the combined roller or just a simple tapley.

If u only have a standard cosworth lsd in your car i wouldent worry about it to be honnest i only worry about mine as it sounds like the thing is going to rip out the floor lol but when i had the standard diff i had it brake tested normally a few times dident do any harm but as i said if u are worryed ask them to do it with the tapping meter but then they will have to drive the car!

Cheers Fella, yeah just standard diff it would be good to brake test it cause I want to see how good they work lol.
Im going to just get the combined test on the rear and I can still do the fronts normal anyway.
