just before anyone says,,, yes i have seen the kit on ebay to remove the ace system, however at 650 quid its a bit rich... especially if i can find two second hand rollbars, buy new drop links and bushes, that should save quite a few quid to use in the fuel tank |

Great way to ruin the vehicle. Fitting standard anti roll bars will make it wallowy and rubbish - bear in mind the TDV8 never had standard bars fitted. Even in the dynamic system it has its own "tune" from those on the 2.7TDV6 and the petrol models. The TDV8 is a big heavy lump to resist in roll.

Agree to some extent that i could go to an independant and enquire, but even then,, after spending at least a couple of hundered maybe much more, id still be left with a system that is complex, troublesome and known to be the achilles heal of these great vehicles... Personally id rather spend money and eradicate it once and for all, so long as it was safe and cost effective... to that end has anybody had any experience with this, maybe fitted a kit?? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/254069282435?_t...OON.R2.TR2 |

Troublesome and known to be an Achilles heel? Utter rot.

It's been brought up as a solution a couple of times in the 10 years I've been on this forum. And after discussions it was dropped as an idea. But hey, you carry on and bodge the job. And yes, it's a bodge. Land Rover fitted the hydraulic anti roll bars to all TDV8s for a reason. Just like they fitted active engine mounts to the TDV8 and not the TDV6. It's a big lump moving around.

I wouldn't like to drive a TDV8 without the ARC system

Not wishing to discourage you further, but have you spoken to your insurance company about this modification yet?

New here. ACE pump has collapsed bearing. Tried the shorter belt to get round ACE pump but way top short. As a temp solution- what do I need to do to bypass the pump? |

The facelifted L320 5L V8 was only available globally without dynamic response. It was however 167kg lighter than the TDV8. I could never understand why the 5L V8 could not be optioned with dymanic response as even the lowliest diesel could. |
