Rolling road is a "roller brake tester" the one used on CVTs and perm 4WD cars is a "decelerometer" and is a type of force meter.Evoman wrote:jon, thats just the rolling road but there's an in car one used for permanent 4wd cars that im pretty sure is called a force-o-meter
The decelerometer used for brake testing is better known as a Tapley after one of the manufacturers of them.

macplax, perhaps the guys i worked with liked to call it a force-o-meter 
nimmiz, well good luck in the MOT like you say a landy place may well not be to concerned.

Not very good cameraphone pics of not very good new wheels.
Cheers to Chris_C for getting/keeping/sending them. The mans a ledge.



And, Im never happy in a 300 till its rolling a poolball shifter. Just feels so right.
