sounds like a s1, but trans could have been changed too?
does the ashtray cover the cigarette lighter when shut? whats the build date? |

yep lighter is covered, it was built in august 1995, pretty sure its series 1, meaning it wont have the LSD diff? need to figure out the diff ratio cause theres no tag on the diff

is it an xr6 or fairmont ghia?
there should be a sticker on the rh axle tube, white (open wheeler) ratio is on the bottom of sticker eg 3.08. or yellow sticker (lsd) 3.23, 3.45 etc etc the lsd diffs also have a high performance tag on the filler bolt. |

im pretty sure mines an s2 and its a 95. i did have the lighter covered but replaced it with a el ash tray . . . i thought you could tell by the boot badge (fairmonts) aswell - the way fairmont is written . . . ??

fairmont ghia, ill have to get under the car and take a look againk, there definately wasnt a tag on the diff, because i changed the oil on it not long ago but that could have easily been lost ages ago i guess.

ok just got under the car and had a look couldnt find a sticker (sigh) there was a small white stickery looking thing on the diff housing that was like half removed so couldnt tell wtf it said lol, gonna go jack the back up and see if both wheels spin so i know if its lsd or not dont think it will be though
EDIT: just took a look non lsd diff, so guessing the ratio will be like 3.08? |

I found one, it looks a lot nicer than the standard EL ones where the ash try has a cover and the lighter is out in the open.

I was replacing ashtrays in the series 1 EF's under warranty to the series 2 units.
So, that is no indication. Series 2 EF came out in Feb 96, same time as the deletion of auto tranny dipsticks, and introduction of R1-424 power steering fluid factory fill.
