Thanks Richard, I had already read that thread but there's no definitive answer as to if LSD became a standard fitting and if so when. Specifically on the 4/4 Sport but perhaps across the range.
I have never seen LSD advertised as a standard fitment in any Morgan specification sheets for new cars, nor is LSD on the options list for 2012 onward 4/4's
I have been told that LSD became standard around 2014, but if so that doesn't explain my 2012 car having it.
My 2016 4/4 Sport is None LSD

Thanks for the replies so far.
The LSD on my car isnt noisy at all.
The other thing I was told is that LSD became standard at around the same time as the camber adjustment was made standard on the front suspension.
My September 2012 car also has these camber adjustment plates.

My 2009 4/4 Sport has an open dif and I have been considering an LSD upgrade, but have been advised they are all noisy by comparison with the open dif.
If you have an LSD, is it noisy? If it isn't, I want one! When I got Billy Bellinger to rebuild my axle I asked him to put a Quaife ATB diff in. It's definitely a lot quieter than the old open diff, but then that was knackered, which is why I had it rebuilt in the first place. If you fancy a LSD, I thoroughly recommend you consider an ATB instead. https://www.quaife.co.uk/quaife-products/atb-limited-slip-differential/

Good idea the check which diff you actually have (easy test as per Dave W's post) because you should be using different oils and LSD additives...worth reminding your dealer if they do your servicing too

Is it possible the low ratio 4.11 axle was used on the limited production performance models and this had LSD?
Hi Richard I believe Kev posting above (Alpha1) has a 4.11 axle and he doesn't have a LSD
