^^^ I believe you need to have five posts in a tech forum before you can posts pics ( 2 to go) I can see that would help in reducing spammers who always add a url (which is one way to post a pic) to lead to another site.

I'm a little confused. I got a list from Rob here on my VIN, but when I check my sticker in the boot it is not the same codes. What is correct? And why is it different? For example, the list says it has LSD, the sticker don't. (I have not yet tried twisting the wheels while on stands so I don't know what is correct).

List from Rob:

Yes it does. I see what you're thinking. Then there is hope for the M220 aswell? but isn't it strange that the sunroof is not on the sticker(or the 454 cruise control which it also has).

60,000 cars built, at least 380 different option codes, there are bound to be some omissions and mistakes.

Hoi-

It's a 5-speed but I can't tell whether its an S or a non-S- it doesn't have the Competition package option, but I have to confess I don't know whether that would be the sign of an 81 Euro vs. 81 Euro S.

Need to check the engine serial #- Non S would be M28.09, and the 1st three digits 801, while the 300 hp is M28.11 and the 1st 3= 821.

It seems that the 1985 and 1986 cars have some missing informations on the sticker. I have seen car with options with nothing indicated on the sticker.
You have to check if your car has a M220 or not.
