Default Does my03 Wrx STi (UK) have LSD?

The manual doesn't say whether it is equipped or not. Any ideas how I can check?

the MY03 STi has a suretrak LSD on the rear, viscous center diff and an open front diff.

the later 04+ (DCCD) STi's have an LSD front and rear IIRC

Are you sure ? Mine is an 02 STI and has a Suretrac unit in the front, it used to be really "bity" in tight corners.

According to link above, front is suretrac and central is viscous. No details on the rear though
