How could I tell if my 2wd Saff's LSD is knackered?

Also, I read recently that they shouldn't do the brake test on the rollers at MOT time as it locks one wheel and spins the other.

Thoughts?

Does it whine when accelerating / decelerating ? If so then the bearings in the diff casing may be worn, your looking at £150 to have new bearings fitted (inc labour).

If your going to take the diff out, why not buy a Quaife ATB diff, a 2wd has a 7.5" rear diff, you'll need new flanges also, £685 +VAT for all the bits, around £150 to get it fitted with new bearings.

I span my wheels on my gravel drive today and it left two marks, but last time I wheelspan on the road it only left one long one.
