I havent spent time (in that way) at a dealer, but at mechanics yes. I agree they fail, i am simply suggesting that the ones i have seen were replaced due to bearing failure before the VC itself locked up. The issue of locking up seems to have occurred to a few tho from the sounds.Quote:

your listening for the siezed VC kicking the inside rear wheel round due to the difference in diff ratios the autos do it pretty well from a stand still the manuals need that little bit of motion so that youve got the engine making usable power.
a slightly better description.
take off easy in first gear.
set and maintain 1000ish rpm
crank it round to lock and then
step on it.
