Think you better ask in the Caterham bit,

According to the technical spec. on Caterham's website, Roadsport standard final drive is 3.92:1.

isn't the freelander diff now the chosen option with catehams? and therefore lsd as standard.

If it is I need to find out for sure. I will ask in the Catterum forum as suggested.

thanks

Pretty sure the Freelander doesn't have an LSD as standard, not from the donor vehicle anyway. Its also only available in 3.21 ratio IIRC which would make it a bit long for most car engines with regular Ford gearboxes wouldnt it?

Spot on.
The freelander didn't have an LSD you needed a quaife atb or something similar.

I know that the freelander is a naff offroader, but no LSD is incredible for a 4x4. Just confirms how rubbish I always believed freelanders to be.

A Quaife LSD in a freelander diff will set you back about £1,100.
