I might have to invest in one later in the year when I can afford it then. Insurance is looming so can't get too carried away.

Mine knocked over rough ground and speed bumps. The noise was the ARB hitting the wishbone bush console on the drivers side.
I put this pic in another thread to show how the end stops should look
If your end stops have perished and fallen off then I'm pretty sure that's what's causing your knocking noise

I'm pretty sure mine looks like that cos i seem to remember noticing the stop had a split/crack in it. Will that be what's causing it then? If I can get under my car I'll take a pick when I get 5 mins!
Dont suppose you have a pic of yours now with the Fabia arb on do you Altech so I can see the difference? Sorry to be a pain!
Ah!
Didnt you say some bits on the standard one are plastic or something but on the fabia they are metal? Or is that me just being stoopid?
So all i need to upgrade is literally, ARB, bushes?

The end stops on the standard bar are plastic whereas on the Fabia bar they are metal. They look exactly the same.
Yep all you need to upgrade is the Fabia vRS ARB, bushes and maybe the bush clamps.
Is it though? Or is it some knob jockey that's put Ibiza, Polo, Fabia VRS, etc cos they dont know the size differences?

Good point...
Ah right. I'd probably get the powerflex bushes. If it breaks, upgrade it.
£35 is cheap but I'd rather buy one new and know that it is what I've ordered! Thanks anyway Mike! Appreciate it.
Bad news!
Well, on Friday we were all called together in work, and to cut a long story short, I've been made redundant as of 6th November. So it seems the Ibiza is gonna have to suffer for the time being! No more mods - it needs servicing soon which obviously will be done still. But this thread isnt gonna be updated much until I can get a new job! And with 2 million other people out of work at the moment, it's not going to be the easiest task to find a new one! Already tried a few places and it's not looking good! So......just hope the Ibiza wont need to go as a result if times get really hard!

Thanks for the best wishes guys! Bit of bummer really as it's my 21st birthday in a few weeks and obviously wanted to do something special for it! Whereas now I'm saving every last penny just incase I cant get a job until the new year!
Hopefully things will pick up, but been looking and asking around alot and the future isnt bright....or Orange.
