Annual road worthiness test
Was up for the annual road worthiness test. Passed. Here are the results for those interested in that sort of thing...

How do they do the brake testing?

I thought that they had to road test defenders ( and other similar 4x4s) using a decelerometer, and that traditional brake rollers could cause damage?

I might be getting the wrong end of the stick, but I didn't think you could get figures like the ones on your test sheet without using a brake roller.

There ae no rollers involved. Someone told me there is a gadget placed on the front seat and when the brakes are hit this gives the results. That is the low tech description I was given. 1982 88" 2.25 diesel

Interesting, as that's what I'd expect,

But then I don't get how they can derive results for each axle and/or any imbalance?

Neither do I. I know someone who has got a job testing vehicles but he is still undergoing the training course. When he finishes the course and is working I will get more exact details. It may take a few weeks but when I get the info I will post it up. 1982 88" 2.25 diesel

They are tested on rollers. The rollers run in opposite directions so as not to wind up the diff.
