Yes it has one, so no, it shouldn’t go on the rollers.
I don't suppose you know whether 2010 Ferrari 599 or 2008 Ferrari F430 has LSD's do you? Or where I can look info up?

Pedant ;-)) Still, what's 200cc between friends?That must be a one off build

Unless said rollers can deal with lsd. My mot'er has rollers for just such an occasion. I checked beforehand. He does a lot of lsd cars.Yes it has one, so no, it shouldn’t go on the rollers.
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.
Are the black cabs still exempt ?
My argument with Birmingham is the M6 is elevated so the pollution from all that stop start traffic every morning and evening must travel much further but they have the ability to stop it almost overnight if it's about cleaner air , nationalise the M6 toll and make it free
Most of the traffic on the M6 is passing through so, problem solved , but its not about clean air or pollution, it's about money
Thanks for the encouragement... Let's hope it results in some reasonableness from those that "rule" usRichard, I give you 10 out of 10 for dogged determination. Well done to you, too many people get fobbed off nowadays with corporate "rules".
Quite simply, my local garage owner who has been in the business for over 40 years and still gets involved hands on, irrespective of having half a dozen mechanics working for him. He told me that it might not cause a problem. But as he treats every car as if it was his own, he would never consider putting someones car with LSD on the rollers during an MOT, and all of his mechanics are told not to do so.My Quattroporte 2009 with ZF box, does that have LSD and can it go on rollers at MOT for brake check please?

I believe it does but no idea. He is an ex works rally mechanic and does a lot of 4x4 and lsd.. I think now he knows the car and it probably doesn't see the rollers..Interesting. I assume it turns both wheels regardless of the test?
I think it’s a fair bet that they both have them. It will probably be in the manual.
You would think so, but I’m not sure there. The 599 def has a friction based LSD as you can see the clutch packs in the parts diagram.

View attachment 83107Can't Pay, Won't Pay... Demonstration and Rally
A demonstration and rally to protest against the continued War on the Motorist: the expansion of the uLEZ zone to up to but not including the north and south circulars,
the continued increased hours of the congestion charge zone,
the proposed charges for driving a non-Euro4 (Euro6 for diesels) inside the M25,
the swingeing increases in vehicle tax ("vehicle excise duty"),
and the hike in local council parking charges and resident parking permits.
Date: the first Sunday after expected relaxation of current Covid restrictions (after 29th March) But before the start of election hustings for London's mayor and Greater London Assembly members (6th May)
Assembly and address: Hyde Park speaker's corner (subject to advice and assistance from Parks Police)
The rally will then move off in procession to go past City Hall.
It will be led by a Victorian-dressed person carrying a red flag.
All those interested in attending and joining the rally please email me in the first instance giving car details:
make,
model,
whether diesel or petrol,
whether meeting uLEZ or not,
if Historic class vehicle,
registration number,
home address, and 'phone number to:
richard7335TL@outlook.com
Look forward to seeing you there?
Bests
Richard
**Please note that uLEZ, congestion charge, and parking conditions apply:
Congestion Charge £15 or £17.50 if paid within three days
uLEZ charge for all vehicles not meeting Euro4 (Euro6 for diesels) £12.50
Parking Charges may apply (HM Parks, or if outside the park Westminster Council)
Disabled Blue Badge holders are exempt from Congestion Charge if registered on Transport for London's web site before entering the zone. And exempt from most council parking charges. They are not exempt from uLEZ conditions unless registered as a disabled's vehicle with DVLA
Let me see if I understand this correctly. You want me to go to London in my car, give the Council £17.50 and £12.50 and whatever it costs to park just to demonstrate about paying the charges. So, the mayor gets 40 odd quid out of me and what do I get in return?
SILLY IDEA.
