Anti roll bars (updated with new fitted parts from D4x4)
Jake:
I've ordered from Devon 4x4 the rear relocation cones, heavy duty spring retainers, Heavy duty front turrets and heavy duty front turret ings with relocation cones built in.
I'm collecting them on Sunday with a new rad (thanks again Tim, your looking after me very well at the mo :wink: )
=P~
Thats quite a few new toys to fit on plus the other bits sitting in my shed.
I have some QT front castor correcting radius arms sitting here which require some Polybushes and fitting.
Also a solid (not tube type) V8 front prop, which i'm told will work just fine with my 2" lift and castor corrected radius arms.
Let the fitting comence

That is incorrect, if they know the vehicle should have an anti-roll bar, they can fail it.

I still disagree though, how does and MOT tester know if they were fitted as standard??
My 90 has all the brackets, yet has never been fitted with an anti roll bar (front or rear) they where always an option.
If you had HD suspension fitted to a Discovery 300Tdi the the dealer was supposed to remove the rear anti roll bar.. so would this then fail??
On 200Tdi Discovery's they were optional extra (part of the Freestyle pack) - so even Land Rover wouldn't know if they were fitted (dealer fitted option)
That's just my opinion...
And my 90 has never failed an MOT yet for having the standard brackets, but no anti roll bars.

I'm not disputing the fact removing an anti-roll bar may not cause it to fail (my rear one is MIA, front soon to be). :twisted:
People are stating it's NOT a failure, when it actually could be.
If an MOT tester spots it and fails it, and you HAVE removed it, he is within his rights to fail it. The rules are black & white (it's the grey areas we want to play with). :D :twisted:
If people start taking them off without the proper information, they'll be a bit miffed if they've thrown their ARB away when they could have popped it in the shed just in case. :wink:
