Mk2.5 Icon has it a LSD?

[Tyre Smoke]

How would I find out, or was it factory fit?

It's a 2005 1.8 Icon if that helps. I think I read somewhere that there was a range of options including heated leather seats ( ours has) a LSD, heated screen, for the Icon as factory order when new.

Have you tried driving it around a roundabout with your foot on the accelerator ?


No and maybe you have an LSD.

[finishing touch]

Jack the car up so both rear wheels are off the ground, car in neutral.

Turn one rear wheel in a going forward direction and the opposite side should revolve forwards as well if a working LSD is fitted.



Always difficult to quote original spec on an older car because after several owners and a chequered history anything could be fitted, good or bad.
( not saying that your car has a chequered history, just talking in general )

The car seems to have led a fairly unmolested life, it's totally original as far as I can tell.

Giving it beans around a roundabout seems an excellent idea, but I fear it will only induce some rear out action.

This being a 2005 car, it would have the Fuji wotsit LSD if it was fitted wouldn't it? Is that more of a traditional LSD over the Torsen one fitted to earlier cars?

To quote someone else- it’s in the numbers...
On a gravel drive-
1..... it hasn’t
11... it has
The Fuji diff isn’t great for longevity but change the oil.
