The brake roller computer works out the drag forward and backward and gives an average so front and rear prop never turns same with hand brake so dont worry about it my 04 l322 was tested like this for 5 years I had it and the 08 i have now just passed its test done that way with no issues.

I think it's whacked the gear box selector aswell !

Bugger ! ( gave it a like but bugger lol )
Finally unlatched the superlocked rear door, had to smash the plastic pos off the door mechanism and twiddle with the screw driver and pop!

The rollers are indeed contra rotating, what I do not understand is how the brakes can be properly tested in that way. The stress when the brakes are applied must be enormous.
Exactly, they are supposed to be tested as a working pair to rule out differences across the axle?

My local test station slip portable roller trays under the axle not being tested, a much better idea IMO.
Anyone heard how @Rubberknees is getting along? I hope he's doing ok

Also, if there’s no rotation at the prop shaft, how the heck can they test the handbrake effectively ?
They called a fail on that too saying it didn’t lock the rear wheels. I explained that it brakes the rear prop and got a vacant look.
it’s in to a ‘proper’ garage Tuesday but I think I’m entitled to be a refund at the very least
Same here, they get a little arsey when they've got to get the rollers out...

I have to remind them every timeSame here, they get a little arsey when they've got to get the rollers out...
And also remind them about the ABS lamp as the tester changes regularly.

im glad it’s not just me then !
AgreedI have to remind them every time
The abs casing hole on the drivers side needed honing out as the hole was out by 3mm... Unfortunately the passenger abs sensor (original part) has an intermittent electrical circuit failure.
Also the brake pedal threw a code. After a third road test there no issues at all but I'm not kidding myself
