the only difference you will get is longer ratios

no difference in strength

Ahhhh i see

I know that there were vans straight from the factory with LSD's fitted but i think they had to be special order.
I had an Escort one back when i was a plant fitter and they reconed it was for getting in and out of sites / fields ect
