WITH A DRIVESHAFT REMOVED, look into the output hole where the driveshaft pops in, if there is one cross-shaft keeping the planet wheels apart, then its an open diff. If there's a pair of crossed shafts visible, then its LSD.

when first starting, put the key in and turn to red lights. Then wait a few seconds till you start it. That did the trick for me

General Car Chat / Re: LC cams
« on: 16 May 2013, 09:45:24 »Oh god now I'm gonna have to go down to the back of the workshop and measure my old block I'm positive both 3.0lt and 4.0 lt 24 valves were 98. 3.6 Irmscher 12 valve was 96. Do you know how dangerous my workshop is? There's all sorts of strange and wonderful life forms down there
Where you getting your info from?
I have some old Opel information.
it seems they did play "musical bore sizes", especially if you include 12v and the likes of Mantzel, etc.
But as the question referred only to the Irmscher 4.0, I'm confident that the answer is 98mm ( in addition to the long-throw crank )

Omega General Help / Re: Power steering "lumpy" - HELP
« on: 14 May 2013, 21:50:48 »
most likely to be air in the system or a steering box internal fault.
not likely to be the pump. Demand your money back from the garage, they are a bunch of unskilled numpties
