there are posts regarding this elsewhere on here, I don't think lsd was fitted except as an optional extra... I believe that Sierras did have them but I arn't sure of te details, maybe highlander or someone will clarify for you soon....

I thought the traction control function gave a similar effect to having an LSD ?

Mmmm... Granny.... 
To my opinion the limited slip diff is better than TCS, but having said that, TCS
is an early version of ESP and gives the wifey (or should I say: GAVE, when it
was operational) better control when the roads are slippery. It worked actually
quite well.
But yes Granada 24V and if I remember correctly, all versions of Granada with
the autobox or 4x4 had the limited slip diff.
I've been pushing my tail to the other lane a few times during the winter
with my 24V Granny. Care must be taken when you put your foot on the
pedal. So maybe that's why they came up with the TCS, it's not bad at all.
If I wasn't married already, I would marry my 24V Granada. It must be the
most fun car I've ever had. Including a boring -99 Audi A6 2.5 Tdi tiptronic
which costed approximately 80.000 euros in Finland back in the 1999.
(fortunately it was not mine, I just drove 70.000km with it for my work)
