Default VERY URGENT help needed!!!!!!!!

hi guys, i leave for newcastle on Sunday, and my old mans taking my RST to be set up and have its MOT for me on Monday while im away. So ive only got tomorrow to get it ready!!!

My questions are...

1) ive had the gearbox rebuilt and today i noticed that with the wheels off and the front of the car jacked up, with the engine running and the box in neutral, the driveshafts are turning slowly?!?!?! WTF!!! Please tell me this is normal on a LSD RS box, i cant be doing with this at the last minute after building the whole car up Also, with the engine switched off and still in neutral, i can turn the dics/driveshafts easily without it trying to turn the engine over

my 2nd queary is that with the engine running when i press the brake pedal in, the engine revs raise slightly.Is this normal due to the vacumm from the servo going into the inlet manifold?Hope so!

any help would be appreciated as i feel physically sick at the moment with worry. The car runs fine, no leaks, sits on the drive idleing in neutral without trying to move and goes into gear easily and clutch operates fine.Just hope the above is normal?

thaks in advance my fellow RS'ers
Dany
