We are not clear as to what is happening in regard to the extra cross bar in the front of the Bentley chassis. Will you please clarify the position.

We understand that it will be coming through shortly as standard, but that since it has been standardised it is found to make the joggling of the front of the chassis worse unless a front stabiliser is fitted.

Perhaps you will please let me know if this is correct, as, of course, we have not yet, so far as our records show, standardised a stabiliser.
