I think most people take them off - you just have to get used to the roll especially on roundabouts and go a bit slower
as an added benefit my wife hates driving it

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there
Replied by facade on topic Re: Anti roll bar
Removal of the anti roll bar is an MOT fail.
Take a look at the MOT handbook posted in another thread: section 2.4G 1
Stick it back on for the MOT.

It won't pass when the new regs are in force, the manual is quite clear on this point.
"Reason for rejection :
A suspension component or its attachment bracket or linkage:
• missing where one is fitted as standard"

Without the anti roll bar, it is a fail.
If the examiner doesn't notice the bar has been removed, he'll not fail it. (Nudge Nudge Wink Wink!)
If the bar is missing/removed but came out of the factory with one, it IS a FAIL.
It's all down to the examiner, is he a friend, blind or not up on the regs?
Know what I mean?
