Help with LSD questions

I'm having an issue with my E55 where im not getting LSD traction,

My right wheel grips but my left one spins freely on a hard take off.

Anyone have an idea on how to make my rear end have a proper LSD

Do i need my diff rebuilt maybe?

Its an aussie car so i guess it would be a euro spec

Damn.. Its surprising they dont have LSD.

I'll have a talk to one of the local diff blokes see what they come up with before I think about shelling major $$$ on a quaife

I'll keep you posted.

AMG is no M when it comes to LSD, even with "451hp" LSD will only be available as an option in 09 model on the c63, why would they bother putting LSD into our 354hp cars ;p
