T8 JPE Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 I was thinking of getting the car MOT'd at an independant rather than at nissan. Is there anything in particular they need to do in relation to it being a zed. I remember hearing something about a brake test on the rollers messing up the diff or something along those lines. But then again i could have made this up in one of my strange dreams Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zugara Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 They should do a road test to check the rears and not on a rolling road, Thats the general opinion cos of the LSD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Is there anywhere that actually says that they cannot be tested on rollers. I take mine to a trusted mechanic and MOT station and mentioned this. He knew nothing about it and the automatic testing machine never flagged it up. Mines been on twice now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubber Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 OLD THREAD RESSURECTION!!! I've been searching for some info on the issue of putting the car on the rollers for an MOT but could only find this post which has two different opinions. Car is going into the local garage tomorrow for the MOT so would appreciate any advice... Cheers, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerry3167 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Went to Nissan last year for MOT, and they remembered not to put the Car on the Rollers due to the LSD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubber Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 But is that a standrad part of the test? i.e. putting it on the rollers. Is there an alternative or do they just not perform that particular test? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stroudy Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I got mine MOT at a Nationwide Autocentre in January as they do it for half price (welcome deal!) if you get the voucher off the net. Google Nationwide autocentres and autotrader to find it i think. Was a good sevice and very professional - no gain in getting it done at a nissan garage.. Prob did my brake test on a rolling road though but didnt advise them any different??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
