Multics Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Check your VIN plate, if the trans/axle ends with an A means NOT LSD from factory. If it ends with a B it means LSD fitted from factory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlton Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Zoom in on the pic on the left and you can see what to look for, its highlighted. If it has an 'A' it is a standard diff, if it is a 'B' it is an LSD The VIN plate is under the bonnet on one of the wings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Dublin Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Or lift both rear wheels off the ground (car in neutral) & turn one wheel. If the other wheel turns the opposite way you have an lsd (I think!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supradriver Posted August 27, 2008 Author Share Posted August 27, 2008 so did it lock up or not?

marc_p Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Or lift both rear wheels off the ground (car in neutral) & turn one wheel. If the other wheel turns the opposite way you have an lsd (I think!) Not always, mine only locks under acceleration, the rest of the time the wheels can move independantly.

Dazzi Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 (edited) Not always, mine only locks under acceleration, the rest of the time the wheels can move independantly. Thats the symptoms of a worn out LSD isn't it? Edited August 27, 2008 by Dazzi (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuartW Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 can someone clear this up once and for all? p.s without the need to remove the diff and count the teeth etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 5k rpm, dump the clutch. If the road has a black 11 it has an LSD, if a black 1 is an open diff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_p Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 5k rpm, dump the clutch. If the road has a black 11 it has an LSD, if a black 1 is an open diff I like to leave an 'ss' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon F Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Go down to Sainsbury's car park and if the car will do a do-nut you have an LSD. If the inside wheel just spins, you havent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzi Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 But if you have a worn out LSD that can do a 1 mark on the road making you think you have an open diff... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
