Mot test

[elan_fan]

Mot test tested and passed, tester was careful and respectful of my pride and joy. Nothing else to say really but feeling warm and fuzzy.

Glad to hear it! Do Caterhams have any issues with the ramps and rollers used for an MOT?

Short answer to that is I don't know, Mine doesn't its standard ride height and on 70 profile 13" tyres. I took the bonnet and nose cone off to make it easy. And I have some board with carpet on to protect the chassis.

I sit in the car for the MOT to operate the controls
also have problems with the rollers so I drive around the block with the MOT testeed next to me for the brake + handbrake test

Any car with traction control or LSD can not be brake tested on rollers. The 'vehicle specific' notes that come with the new 'online' MOT system say for the Caterham seven (WRT traction control devices) 'only carry out a roller brake test if you have switched off or disabled the system.

The issue is that the braking action can not be separated from any braking action by the diff and therefore readings are meaningless.
