    VIN Decode (Version Z) / how to spot an LSD

    Hi,
    Does anyone have access to (or can point me in the direction of) a VIN decoder for the beat. I'm looking to buy a Version Z and it would be nice to know if has the optional LSD or ABS fitted.
    Thanks in advance.

    As far as I understand, there really isn't, unless you have access to the original purchase paperwork. If you have access to the car, try and do a burnout and see if you get both wheels going, I suppose.

    Will have access, but will be unable to drive. Is there any other way of identifying an LSD gearbox numbers or casing marks etc?

    Jack up the back end and spin one of the tires, if the other one spins the same direction you have LSD
