My 04 90 had ARB’s that I removed, and my 06 100 doesn’t have any.


I’m assuming none of these modifications will be informed to the insurance company as they would certainly push up the premium for a young diver. If it was my kid I think I’d leave it standard for while and see how they get on with the vehicle.

I suspect that by fitting ARBs you will actually have increased the risk of her rolling it, since the terror induced by heavy body roll is likely to cause her to slow down more on corners. Body roll does not usually result in the vehicle rolling, however excessive speed whilst cornering does increase the risk.

ARBs do make for a more comfortable ride though. I fitted them to my DC because with a reasonable payload plus a heavy roof rack (Patriot) often with quite a weight on the roof, the body roll was disturbing. It did however act as a very effective speed limiter.

Like I said she's no whipper snapper and I have found that rolling her new VTR after 30 days slowed her down so much so that even her 86 year old grandmother asks her to get a move on

When originally introduced in 300tdi days, they came with the 'Freestyle' option pack, which included what were commonly called Freestyle alloys although they were really Tornado. On the 110, the alloys were originally Deep Dish and later Boost. I think the pack was only an option for passenger vehicles though.

Later on, I think the distinction of whether they were fitted was still either commercial or passenger, hence Blackwolf's DCPU not getting them. The USW seems to be an anomaly though and LR treated it as a station wagon and fitted them.

Very knowledgeable
