My radiator is toast so i bought a used one from rovercannibal. The radiator they sent me has 4 transmission and engine oil cooler connections, 2 below the top radiator hose and 2 above the lower radiator hose. The radiator on my 96 disco has only 2 of them, they are located above the lower radiator hose. My question is can i still use the radiator the rovercannibal sent me? Thanks for any help you can give me... |

Just plug the two connections you don't need over on the driver's side.

Sure,
They are pipe fittings. Go to the local hardware store and get some hex-cap plugs for them. Actually, if you would, write down what size each of the fittings are because I've been trying to find out for over a year.
What did you do with your old radiator and hoses? I'd like them if you have no use for them.

Perrone, just got back from home depot and got two 1/2inch cap screws from the "bathroom" dept. I think i'm gonna keep the radiator and see if i can get it fixed locally and keep it as a spare. But i'll let you know if i toss it.
thanks again for the help |

Thanks for thinking of me. Hopefully those plugs didn't set you back more than a couple bucks. Did you get some plumbers putty to put on the threads to keep them from leaking? You may want to do that.

just FYI, I recently had my radiator re-cored, it came to $245. (Auto-transmission)
