I am trying to confirm that the 1995 Discovery 1s came factory with a limited slip rear differential. Can anyone confirm that as fact or fiction? Thank you,
Clay

Sounds like BS to me. The only factory LSD that I'm aware of came in a few 109s in the mid '60s. A dealer may have added a TrueTrac as an upgrade but not from the factory AFAIK.

New LR3's and Range Rover Sport's have an option for an electronic rear limited slip diff.

New LR3's and Range Rover Sport's have an option for an electronic rear limited slip diff.is it a limited slip, or an actual locker? It is an electronically activated locker...

Land Rover calls it a "active locking rear differential". It isn't selectable though. I forget which actions trigger it, but I know if you go into the 4x4info screen it will show you when it locks. It depends on low or hi and I think what terrain response mode you select. Its been a while since I have played with one though.

Yeah, it's not selectable, it's electronically controlled by the traction control system... I've only engaged mine once... and a wheel was off the ground.. i believe you need to be in low gear and perhaps rock crawl mode... when slippage is detected, it locks... which is similar to a limited slip in engagement, but I believe it is a full locker, putting 50/50 power to the wheels, where a limited slip puts up to 80% of the torque to an individual wheel.

Not to my knowledge.

The non Land Rover type get confused with 'locking center diff'. I have heard all kind of misinformation related to it.
