It’s the same for the autos EPB and DS old fashioned normal one?
No, they are the old traditional cable and shoes I think...I always drive off with the EPB on. It switches off according to what the ECU's telling it to do. My QP5's got the ZF gearbox.
I dunno about the earlier DuoSelect or Cambiocorsa.
Do you have to switch those EPBs off before driving off?
Greater London Authority ban 4.2L cars from entering their beloved diesel-polluted congestion charge zone.
(my Maz QP5 '08MY meets uLez as currently laid out -- Euro 4 minimum)
My QP5 '08MY currently meets uLEZ (Euro 4) with its 4.4L
And there in lies the problem, if it's all about the environment and clean air you wouldn't be allowed to drive the most polluting cars in at all.The rich don't care of course, it's nothing to them...
And the "fines" are tax deductable as a legitimate business expense
My Quattroporte 2009 with ZF box, does that have LSD and can it go on rollers at MOT for brake check please?
I had an advisory on my rear discs on the 4200 about 6 years and 45k miles ago when it was tested at a well respected MOT station in Cambridge. I took it to Lancaster's in Colchester for it's annual service shortly after that and they said that the discs were about 15% worn.As an ex tester you hope the individual will get them done before the next test where they might become a fail.
Sadly many do not.
What is the outcome for putting a car with a LSD on rollers? I only ask because the first transaxle on mine became unbearably noisy when turning corners slowly. Rob at Grimaldi's said it was damage to the LSD plates and hadn't seen anything like it before. I managed to source a replacement transaxle off a low mileage car but I'm wondering if the MOT test on rollers caused the failure.Yes it has one, so no, it shouldn’t go on the rollers.

In 2019, Lancaster had the car in to replace a faulty ABS pump and to have the MOT done. I mentioned the advisory on the rear discs from 2014 and they said the discs were still fine.
I think a lot of MOT stations try it on to get the business, or they just don't know or bother to find out what the tolerance on parts like discs are without tagging them as advisories.
