Ring Hamish to make sure - I don't think it will be a problem & it has happened before.

Trip to Specsavers needed there, or his awd wheelbase is that short, that he can get all 4 wheels onto a single roller......lol

I have heard of this being done on the haldex equipped cars, but personally if I had such a vehicle, I'd not do it just in case, It could be very costly if anything did go wrong and with my viscous type awd's I have here, I wouldn't drop the prop, has it would be a pain to do just for the dyno and wouldn't then be correct figures wise, as the transmissional losses would then have been altered

To be fair Moley - I did add the single roller after the fact.

I'm not at all worried, as there's no way I'm going to pull the fuse, and run it in 2WD.;)
