Can you tell from the outside?
I discovered that mine appears to have an LSD when I was replacing the exhaust by rotating the rear wheels and found that they both turn the same way, but the car is just a bog standard 1992 1.6.
Is the wheel-turning thing 100% certain way of telling that you have an LSD?

Doesn't affect the oil required, nor the MOT brake test as the brake test tests the axle together rather than each side individually.
The only LSD available on the 89-93 1.6 was a viscous LSD and on the 94> a Torsen mechanical diff. Rotating wheels when in the air means nothing to either as they are not permanently engaged like a clutch diff.

The car was in-gear when I tested it - the rear wheels turned easily enough and both in the same direction, so what does that mean?
Edit : actually that must be wrong - the car must have been in neutral...I'll have to try this again at some point.
