Does the mere fact that my disco has the secondary air injection system mean that the radiator has the special sensor making it a $400 replacement, rather than the dumber $200 unit?   Mike M (Rangeroverhp) Member Username: Rangeroverhp Post Number: 156 Registered: 09-2003 Posted on Monday, January 05, 2004 - 10:09 pm:    Unfortunatly, Yes. Secondary air cars have secondary air rads. Although $400 is pretty steap. I usually sell them for $315 shipped. The good news is they don't leak as often as the non-secondary air units.   Erik G.

I looked as closely as I could at the radiator I've got, and I couldn't see any sensor wires at all, just one going up into the oil cooler.   Mike M (Rangeroverhp) Member Username: Rangeroverhp Post Number: 158 Registered: 09-2003 Posted on Tuesday, January 06, 2004 - 09:30 am:    On the lower right hand corner of the rad there is a small sensor. It's not easily visible. It is on the rad under the hose connected to the thermostat.
