    at mot time when jacked up, and the man turns the back wheel, the other wheel has always turned the same way, regardless of speed... obviously this is with the turning input coming from a wheel, rather than the engine, so guessing i have a tight LSD then...

    tho, in the recent snow and ice, i've had to knock mine out of drive (yes, auto, no, i don't care) in order for slow speed maneuverability as the LSD axle wants to push the car on in a straight line, regardless of steering lock....

    in addition the TCS stops unexpected wheels spin by killing engine power. (i dont think it has the ability to talk to the abs and brake individual wheels accordingly, but i may be mistaken, mines is an early one, so maybe later ones got more sophisticated!)
