[V8] rear diff lock?

[Ingo Rautenberg]

Since it's a torsen, there's nothing you can check except to make sure the
fluid level is there and that the same size tires are on both sides of the
axle and that they're properly inflated. I've had this happen in reverse as
well on occasion, btw.  I'm assuming you're speaking of the V8 and not the
200, btw.  If it is the 200, then I'd check for faulty/sticking actuator at
the rear diff.

I guess it's good that you don't drive to work in reverse ;-)
