Just been watching Tims 90 in the "Birthday bash" vid and you can really see the limted slip working a treat.
Having watched the vid, Im kind of sold on the LSD one at the present.
Vid is WELL worth a look!!!! :shock: :shock: :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

I think you have neither.
Most vehicles just have a standard diff. The "locker" or limited slip is 99% of the time and after market product you buy. It will give you WAYYYYYYY more traction but at just under £500 a diff its a pricey improvent.
I'd be fair to say you'll have standard diffs, just like a land rover. Down side with them is that as one wheel spins on an axle, the other ones stops so get into mud and you'll get stuck. Lockers or LSD's stop that and make sure BOTH wheels alwats remain turning. Get two diff lockers and and engage your centre diff (in the transfer box) and all four wheels turn the same speed, all the time. maximum traction!!!!!!!!

Just to add some extra confusion...
Some of the Fronteras did have a factory-fit LSD in the rear. Don't ask me how to tell other than actually trying the thing though.
