    Thanks ET, I owe you another beer. Awesome I've learnt something.

    Nailed it dude ^^^^ ... (in fairness others said similar but I'll still take the Beer)
    Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

    Hmmmmm....... that can't be correct...me thinks mate, 'cos what the handbrake effectively does in a GQ(dunno about a GU) is to lock the rear driveshaft from spinning. For example lift the rear wheels and shove a screw driver, tyre lever of something through the uni joint and try to spin either one of the wheels. You won't be able to do that. Don't damage the uni joint by putting too much force on the wheels though.

    Yeah, but it works fine as long as the wheels on the ground. With my stock real LSD, it works off the ground as well(not it that helps )
