Default LSDs

On behalf of a mate who owns a Omega Elite and a Senator 24v. They are both supposed to be LSDs (even the diff tags sya yes) but when jacked up and you rotate one wheel the other one goes in the opposite direction.
On my Cossie and 24v both wheels will turn in the same direction.

Can the Vauxhall diffs have an LSD then and still show this behaviour?


TIA

Best way to check for a LSD is to jack one side of the car up so one wheel if free and the other is still on the groung.

There should be resistance when turning the jacked up wheel. If it spins freely you probably aint got a LSD in it or its knackered.
