Anyway - You need to remove a fuse in the fusebox, can't be sure which one TBH. Other than that you need to remove one of the ABS sensors, but chances are it'll break, and then you're fucked, new sensor time.

Try pulling the fuses in the engine bay fuse box until the lights switch on.

mate dont bother spending shit loads on engine mods etc. It aint worth it. Just save up for something faster in the first place. But its your money if you want to learn the hard way like most of us have

SURELY whoever will be operating the rolling road will have SOME mechanical knowledge and know how to disconnect it?

If they don't or he's operating the rollers himself, may I suggest whatever benchmark figures he gets anyway will be total nonsense so it's a completely wasted excercise.
