Cool , i'm after an MV6 , seen a couple but not really had the chance to give them the'BEANS' if you know what I mean. The Auto one I drove had Traction Control though??? I have a Quaife LSD fitted to my 205 GTi Rally car and it totally changes the way it drives , much more traction on wet surfaces..

They are rare and were only fitted as standard to the Police spec cars......

They were NOT fitted as standard to MV6's or 3.0's

No standard (retail) Omega has LSD. It was an option, but very rare to find one.  Ex-plod for a limited slip, and even some of them don't have it.

Most of the Omegas imported to Finland have had LSD as standard, so it is easy enough to find second-hand diffs with limited slip. And iirc all V6 models have TC no matter LSD or not

Hmmm, so I suppose I need to wait until it rains , turn off the t/c then give it a right boot full  ;)

Don't think you'll need a wet road to test for a LSD on a V6!  ;D

I'd rather have a slipper than TC. The Monza's have slippers as standard (the GSE models that is) and it does improve things no end. I find that if I get keen with my right foot such that the TC cuts in, the car just goes sluggish until it grips, at least with a slipper you can power away :)

Agree, the TC can be annoying, but still very useful in certain situations... E.g. on icy/snowy road when you put your right foot down to accelerate to pass someone it is good to have tc, but in the city it is annoying; I rather have it off and try to cope with slipping tyres and go sideways due to LSD  ;D

Hmm, seems liek you Scabndinavians get the LSD as standard , unlike us Brits that have to suffer with switchable one wheel wheelspin! How many MV6s in UK spec have got a slipper as std?

I had a 1999 auto mv6 which did have a lsd so I assumed they were standard. ::)
