    On a 240 is there a quick way to identify if the car is fitted with a
    limited slip differential, other than mechanically seeing if the diff locks
    or not?

    If installed, there should be a metal tag on one of the bolts that hold
    the diff cover on noting the need for special oil. The easy way is to
    jack up one rear wheel with the car in neutral, handbrake off, front
    wheels blocked (for safety). Try to spin the raised wheel. If it
    spins, you have the open diff. If it won't turn, you have a limited
    slip.
