Look at the tag on the diff it should tell you if you have a lsd or not plus what ratio if fitted.

Is it a Ghia? Standard Fairmont's are live axle, not IRS.

Theres a guy on Ebay who does recon units on an exchange basis for the cliemate control display. Around $150. Check Ebay under AU falcon, climate or fairmont. Can't remember which.

Is ther display just dull or are there segments or bars missing from the numbers displayed?
If it is just dull it may have a blown bulb or two. |

It costs around $60 to fix mate - Liquidxtal the guy is known as, he has ads on ebay too...
He replaced the bulbs in mine whilst fixing the "dropped segments" issue too for an extra 10 bucks or so. Quote:
