bobtail or not...

My old pug 106 had no arbs from the factory!

It shouldn't have failed the mot on the antiroll bar....... but saying that if it was still showing signs of you removing it ie you could see where it had been bolted then the tester would know it had been removed best stick it back on for the test then bin it off afterwards

Tester told me to cut the brackets off, and it would pass....the job for today

Would you be cutting the brackets off the axle too?

left them on the axle, he only said the ones on the chassis...

Forgot to mention that she failed mot on a flexi brake pipe, and because I didn't cut the anti roll bar brackets off!...so to mention another thread on here, that says you can't mot with no anti roll bars, it seems you can...

Thats bull****, take it back and tell them that a. if an item is not fitted it can't be tested, wether or not there is the mountings does not matter and b. there is a claus called 'modified for purpose', its clear this is not a vehicle designed for road use, it the same way a track car can have seats that don't move, ABS and airbags removed yours can have the ARB's removed as they are not fit for the vehicles primary purpose. If he argues then get VOSA involved as I am 100% confident on both of those.

Oh yeah, its looking good, kinda want a bobtail now!

looking very good, have you thought about doing a 200TDi front end though? The 300 seems to loose indicators and lights with the slightest rush of water...
