Thanks for the pointer re: markings.
I'll check when I get a chance... Where are the markings on the heads?

Racking my brains, seem to recall near inlet, at front, but wait for someone to confirm before ripping off plenum...

Which was as expected due to the throttle cable & single DIS pack. Not worth the effort to convert the DBW

I'll check when I get a chance... Where are the markings on the heads?

the markings on the heads are front passenger side edge where the cam cover meets the head. Drivers side is at the opposite end. There is a small square area where there is a number made out of small dots.
You will need to remove the plenum and inlet manifold. Is easier than it sounds honestly. Have a look if the number on the passenger side of the block matches what it says on the heads then that should then satisfy what engine you have in. The engine number is a pain to find but will help you to find it if you  want to check that too :)

theres never anything visible 10 years on, spin test doesnt work on this type of LSD iirc.  open it up, or test via driving I beleive are the only ways.

on some LSDs if you lift both back wheels from the floor, turn one side by hand, the the other side spins the way.  :y

That would be NON LSD if it spins the opposite way...
I could get a friend to hold one wheel while I turn the other...
