HEKTIC, there were some vlt's that came out with an open diff, search for "diff tag numbers" and you should find your diff there HEKTIC, some vlt's came out with an open diff, search "diff tag numbers" and you'll find a thread that will tell you what your diff is

As mentioned above check the diff tag thread in the tech section. Contrary to belief VL turbo's did not come standard with LSD.

Wreckers have that many cars coming through they usually cant rememeber the exact specifications of every single car.

I don't agree. If the diff is marked as LSD, then it's the seller's responsibility to ensure that it is in fact an LSD, else they're selling something under false pretenses. On the other hand, it could be an LSD but a stuffed one! I'd take the backing plate off and check the centre!

Doesn't mean that much with a car of this age anyway, could have been through a few diffs in the last 20 years, or could be a LSD that isn't working properly
