No. It does not have a LSD or need one. Although, one was available as an option on some models.

 

What do you mean ? Spare tyre ?

Your spare tyre under the boot floor ? Yes, of course, subject to its condition.

A spare tyre mounted on the tailgate ?

 

Yes, subject to how it is safely and securely mounted.

Although I am not aware of any retail hardware to achieve this.

thanks rojie all it was when i looked in the manual about using the spare tyre because i have a rear puncture it said dont put on rear if you have lsd 

i wasnt 100% but thought they must mean 4wd thanks

I'm sorry.

 

I mis-read your question.

 

No front two-wheel drive vehicle will need a differential in the rear.

 

They do mean a 4wd.

I assume this is because the 4wd machines are sensitive to tread wear and grip on all four wheels.

Uneven tyre sizes and wear can lead to the wheel speed sensors reporting issues when there are none.

thanks for your help young sir i thought thats what the manual meant but it was not clear just put doubt in my mind
