I would stongly advise you not to take your car on a rolling road :dead:
You can cause serious damage to your engine due to the extreme temperatures that are made during the process, huge powerfull fans are not the answer

If you are still keen then i'm sorry i don't know of any local places

Don't they put your car on a rolling road to test exhaust emissions, braking efficiency etc for MOTs??

That's all fair and well, but a rolling road could result in serious damage to your engine! I'd rather go by roundabout figures than wreck my car, as this certainly won't be covered by your warranty!!;) Rob took his car to a rolling road day with the Porsche club, but his car is oil cooled and they do something magical to it that stops the oil cooled ones over heating, but don't ask me what!!:clown: (ice cubes in the oil or something:p)

If you must though, Dastek are probably the best candidates as they are currently working on a mini for modifying!!:)

If you can't feel a difference when you drive it, it's not worth doing surely! Numbers on their own don't mean much.

Star Performance just outside Kircaldy have a four wheel drive rolling rd.

Well respected VAG group tuners

I had a very bad experience with my MINI on a rolling road. Still not sure what exactly happened but it jumped off the rollers and nearly went through a brick wall at 80mph!!

I'd never do it again!!!
