TBH doubt very much one would exist! volvo didnt appear to do one, so unless renualt did one (for the same series of engines and boxes) which again i doubt highly. (most of the cars that use these engines had no use for a lsd as they didnt produce enough power to warrent one!)
Toys:-
2001 Ford focus (not as much fun as my volvo was!)
94 440 turbo auto (Sent to the main dealer in the sky :cryhard: )
92 Suzuki gn250 (Still in rebuild)
