Leigh:
And I thought it wouldn't fail its mot without it. Mot next month so I'll keep it on for a little longer.

Not strictly true Damo.

even the pre 300 series Discos have the mountings there for ARB.
Mine certainly has.
AIUI the ARB was an extra on some models.

If it is standard on the model then yes they should be there for MOT.

With the new MOT it may be that the computer can tell them what to check and what should be fitted on each model.

How long before the MOT starts to flag up vehicle Mods?

You've got it spot on Ed.

This is straight out of the Tester Manual.

Section 2.4 para G2:


--- Quote ---Check that an anti-roll bar is fitted to an axle on which it is standard.
--- End quote ---


Reason for rejection:


--- Quote ---An anti-roll bar not fitted to an axle on which it is standard.
--- End quote ---


It's all down to what the tester knows about your vehicle..

If the tester knows your vehicle and knows that it should
have one fitted and you have removed it.. It's going to fail.

datalas:
Interesting,  Mine didn't have an anti roll bar as standard, but half of the mounting points are there (they're either missing on the chassis, or the axle, ISTR)

does that mean I should half fail ?

Paul:
Only 6 Months MOT for you Daz. :lol:
