Anyone know where I can get an LSD rebuid kit, or someone who will do it?

Never driven a car properly with an LSD before, cant make my mind up on if its really working as it should, seems to lock up fine when im pulling out of junctions, but go to a roundabout it locks up, then tails off if that makes sense, still spinning the inside wheel up more than the outer. I know its only a 25% lock... maybe im expecting too much, not had the chance to get it onto the airstrip we go too and really try it yet, so its been a case of midnight drives to where I work to see what happens.

Sometimes also, the diff "chatters"? Feels like axle tramp in a way, is this a sign the plates are foobar?

ATM its running on comma LSD oil, only been in there for 2 days, is this just going to muller it? Twas the only oil I could get hold of sunday afternoon.

Thanks

there's some handy info at this site.
im sure i read somewhere that a kaaz lsd is about £700 which seems like a lot( well it is alot of money) but well worth it imo if thats what your into.
