sorry for the confusion.it's my brothers car and he was posting using my username. of course there is an lsd as standard. what he means is the gearbox has been reconditioned with new lsd and new uprated bearings. he found it confusing when his mechanic told him the cable wouldn't fit onto the gearbox connection. the mechanic told him the gearbox is a different brand/make which it is not. he reckoned it might be a diesel gearbox. i too find it very confusing as it should fit straight on without any hassle. this mechanic reckoned there was an electric pulse coming out of the gearbox which the cable wouldn't connect to. but the trip computer in the car is working. he confused my brother to be honest.

any help appreciated

thanks
