Hi Jonathan. Not a good idea putting those details online in a forum. Open to fraudulent activities. Best to go into edit and remove them ASAP.

Not too quickly, I'm just getting the key cut for it now 🤣

We can no longer access ETIS unfortunately.

Main difference with PP is the LSD...so take it for a test drive and see what happens when you attempt a quarter mile drag... :biggrin:

No mention of performance pack on etis

Or pull away hard through a roundabout. 

I had LSD on my Mazda 3 MPS and was so impressed by the way it handled 320 horses on roundabouts

It has got engine performance level high,launch control and the shift light. So surely the lsd then as that’s the pack? Thanks 

ps how would you identify by driving it it is very grippy actually

Turn the traction control off and give it full throttle from a standing start.  If just one wheel spins up, it doesn't have LSD.

Also as Ian said, you should notice less understeer on roundabouts/bends...but that's a potentially perilous test lol.

Sounds like yours does have the Performance Pack though.  It wasn't listed specifically on ETIS, 'engine performance level high' is the identifier.

Do you have access to the system like Etis that checks it. Have joined the stforums and they say it has based on the reg. and they told me engine performance level high. Just wanted another opinion thanks

ETIS has been decommissioned, no-one has access to it now. 

If someone on the ST forum works for Ford then they may be able access the minor spec list on the new system that replaced ETIS.

Your car has 

C2GAC ENGINE PERFORMANCE LEVEL-HIGH 

Lol I see the OP has had his wrists slapped on the ST forum for asking the same/similar question on multiple threads. It is a very common query however.

I've often wondered whether the PP (the diff, basically) is actually worthwhile on a car for pure road use, though by the time I got mine it was irrelevant anyway as it was ST-3 with PP or nothing!

The media aren't much help as virtually all road tests I've seen were of PP-equipped cars. I did manage to find this brief review of a non-PP car, though:

Certainly the Fiesta diff is effective and smoother in operation than some I've tried in the past - but I do sometimes feel that just at the point when you're having a bit of fun and starting to feel the real  benefit, nowadays you're into speed awareness course territory (or worse!😀).
