Omega General Help / Re: LSD limited slip differntials - Omega B
« on: 10 October 2023, 19:23:36 »From the UK, you are likely to struggle I reckon. Off top of my head, I can only think of 1 person with an LSD in their Omega, and I'd guess he ain't selling
As Opels in euroland were more coveted than the Vauxhalls in the UK, you might have better luck from the EU hotspots of Omega, like Poland. You could also try a private message to biggriffin, as he and Serek used to have an interesting selection of parts from breakers
Nil stock of LSD's sold last one wee while ago for £300.

The cost to the nation would no doubt have been immense.for the manhunt.With resources diverted, other crimes would go unmanaged or not even investigated.
I'll bet there will be a few early retirement due to medical grounds happening, with a full pension..
