Righto, is this the large unit that incorporates the heater display with the big screen in the middle or is it the stand alone stereo in the centre of the dash that has the separate climate control panel in the very top of the dash?

Heres an easy fix, Has your Fairmont got oval looking shapes as part of the dash etc. And is the shifter a black handled unit with pull up lever for selecting? And an oval clock?

Sounds like an AU3 then. Just sorting your model out. Yes you can replace the whole unit with either double din (size of two normal stereos) or a single din and pocket underneath. Shouldn't be a big job for a capable auto sparky at all. If you are handy enough in can be DIY job.

That is the best course of action, the factory multi CD changer in AU2 and 3 was problematic from new.

I would.just fit a new stereo head unit of your choice and try Advanced for Ford in Avondale for the bootlid, they have listings on here and at least there is a good chance they might have one in the right colour.
