He 'owns' the car through a novated lease which means he needs to clock up about a million k's so he can buy the car cheap at the end of the lease. He hasn't been able to clock up the kays so tried jacking up the rear wheels and run the car in drive to clock up the k's. He said he wasn't able to do it. What do you do when you put a car on the dyno? Do you just need to turn off the traction control? Or do you have to disconnect the ABS as well?Cheers.

TC usually disables itself though after realising the difference in speed between the front and rear wheels.Try and talk him out of it though for humanity's sake.
