It will be a scary amount of money as the gear box will have to come out.

Derek, as above.............if possible at all.

Regarding whether it's any good........................for £100 it's about the best option you can spec on a MCS. Had it on both the R53 and now my R56 Works and it's amazingling good.

This pretty much answers my question else where on forum about price of getting the LSD on a basic Cooper. Oh, well, I'm sure its good enough even without it.

My dealer told me it was a waste of money unless I was going to race my car on a track
