Title: Omega LSD
Post by: J_K on 12 August 2008, 23:37:01: Just wondering what model's came with an LSD.

Mostly bought on the MV6 versions by the police authorities.

So feesable that any model may have had one fitted.

Post by: TheBoy on 13 August 2008, 18:52:22: None had as standard.

It was a factory option, but rarely taken up, except by some plod forces.

So they could have been on anything but pretty unlikely

Thanks.

Post by: mv63000 on 13 August 2008, 23:39:16: quick question - im just after buying what is supposed to be an lsd for my mv6, supposedly it is out of an ex gov auto car - just wondering is there anyway i can tell it is an lsd before I go to the trouble of putting it in - the shafts are still connected and when I spin one slowly the other spins in the same direction ?

There is a long code on the diff if that helps but it doesnt start with a 0 or a 1 as suggested in some other thread ???

sorry to hijack the thread btw!

i have a lsd and when i spin on wheel the other spins in the other direction it is only under load that omegas lsd locks up so i do not think you have a lsd and bye the way i most definatly do have a lsd diff so if yours is not doing the same i would take of the back plate and look at the inside to be sure before you waste your time fitting it hth ;)

Post by: mv63000 on 14 August 2008, 09:55:39: cheers, If I turn the prop both spin shafts the same direction, if I turn one halfshaft slowly they spin the same direction but if I apply more pressure the shafts spin in opposite directions ??
