if you can see staright through it hasnt got an LSD
if you cant see through to the other side it has an LSD
yes you can change the diff but its a complete box stripdown which a gearbox man will charge you a lot of money for,why not buy a proper LSD box in the first place

If checking for an lsd with the box fitted, jack up the front of the car so both front wheels off ground and turn one front wheel slowly, if the other front wheel turns in same direction then is got a lsd and if it turns in oposite direction then no lsd.

thanks for all the quick responses,the reason i bought a fiesta rst box was because i knew it was sound as i got it from a mate,ive bought boxes from ebay etc in the past and most are on there last legs,how big a job is it to take my lsd out and fit it to the fiesta rst box ?
