I found it one day quite by accident, clicked the wrong button and found the advisories. Use it quite regular for those parking brakes that only just meet the requirements.

Yeah!

Lets all agree a Day and all post our request, I have done this already, to no response, maybe 19,000 on the same day, Will make the difference?

I am pleased to see that after rfr entries, and then, we go to brake test results, That We now return to the View summary screen, rather than having to prompt It.

Q? So how many peeps realise that after Brake Test Results, You can "Go Back" and advise on Your RBT Entries?

I agree some time back I tested one of them Land Rovers, latest type with electric parking brake system, followed instructions to the letter, but didn't work, I watched the DVD, even the presenter had differing views in his conversations reqarding testing them.

The VSI isn't allways right though. I've seen too many things wrong especially with types of susspension and jacking points.

Can we not spread the word around this site, get everybodies involvement and then ALL use the computer to send them our requests, that might get their attention, especially if we all did it at the same agreed time?

There is an article on this (Landrover Parking Brakes) in the recent edition of Matters Of Testing.

 

As for printing the VSI, you would expect the Print Screen (PrtSc) button to do such a function. But alas, no.

Perhaps if enough of us suggest it to SBS, they may implement it...

I had a Range Rover in with electric handbrake.

On the VSI screen there is a long winded procedure about how to put the vehicle into a certain mode for performance checking the parking brake.

It would make a lot of sense if we were able to print this screen off, as there are other useful bits of informatiion there.

Any Linux heads in?
