    Very unlikely that you have an LSD they were never fitted stock and they're very rare/expensive after market.
    I have tried increasing the preload with spacers such as the kits available from peloquins to improve traction and they do work, i even machined up my own at different thicknesses to experiment and find the best size. This is a very cheap and quick alternative to fitting an LSD though not as good as one.

    Should do a roll call... I've only seen one other on the road and it was a black 2 door, seen more mk1's buzzing around than mk2's!
