Hi guys
Need a little help here, without getting my hands dirty, how can I tell if my Pajero has a limited slipp diff. some have said if it's got an orange sticker on the door post above the tyre pressure sticker, then it has. It's a 92 swb 2.5tdi, and is a jap import.
Cheers guys
John UK.

Ok John... first you go to the auto store, get yourself some latex gloves, now your hands will stay dainty and nice. So that part is taken care of. :roll: :wink: :P

Then you get some wood chocks... and a jack.

Put the jack under the diffy in the rear, and jack up the truck so that both wheels are off the ground. You should chock the front wheels to keep the truck from rolling. Then go and put the trucks tranny in nuetral (well chocked, be sure, because you wont be able to do this if you set the parking brake.).

Then you take the rear wheel and you spin the tire, and look at the otherside of the axle. If the wheel spins in the same direction you are spining the other, then you have lsd.

"Disclaimer": Jack stands might be prudent, since you will be right next to the truck and spining the tire, when it is being suported by only a jack.
