DIY Limited slip differential

Just a quick question, does my mini have one?

2004 54 Plate BMW Mini Cooper S With Chilli Pack its a Facelift model

What do they do?

Thanks in advance

Unlikely that you have one unless the original purchaser specified it as an extra.

There's a good laymans explanation of what a Limited Slip Differential does on HowStuffWorks
