Certainly, I removed the rear one off my old 110 and never had any MOT issues. I think it is often down to the individual NT as already pointed out. As I said, my manual is a rather old copy so I am perfectly open to being corrected :)

Are all Land Rover anti-roll bars optional then? I'm guessing a D3 or the like would be standard fitment? On the basis that the anti-roll bar is listed as a testable item, or at least it was in my old manual, shouldn't fail if not fitted when it was a standard item?

Go speak to VOSA and they will tell you that to remove an item that is required to pass the basic standard, is an offence and you can be found guilty of making a vehicle unfit for prupose should you be involved in an accident. Which invalidates your insurance!
But if you think it's BS, by all means prove me and them wrong!
Anti roll bars are standard fit on discos - so you might want to go the route of unlocking versions like the Americans use.

after looking further at arb's disco's were type approved with and without them fitted so they cn be removed if you want to as the mounts were on both the have's and not's. apparently.

they were an optional extra on Discos, Yes they came out of the factory with them on and dealers sold them as standard fit
