Have you got adjustable suspension? if you have you could make it higher for RR. If not can you get your car on the normal rmaps for an MOT or not?

shite, looks like i will have to ring them up, and see if i can go and try my car before booking it it! i have sealed all my bumpers back up now, so pain in the arse taking front off. but i really need a RR. to see if its still pushing 164bhp, as the last owner said, and showed me the graph for it!

those rollers as in pictures have more clearence than the ones i have used,
the last one i went on sank into the floor once u were loaded onto it,
depends on the individual rolling road i suppose,
if you ring them they willl give you clearence guidlines

kev, most rolling roads (all i have been too) you drive onto them and the cheque plate floor between the rollers sinks below the road, lowering the car down
