And u have two? but not that strange, the single version is fitted to the 3.5RR and disco1, disco2 has a different design.

My disco gear box uses just one row with the 'brush' around it as a standard figment placed at the front of the radiator which helps with cooling.
You could fit a panel auto box cooler in the position where your existing one is, it would look a lot smarter.
Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any spec on them for the fluid flow rate and the amount of cooling achieved.

fit in front of rad between bracing struts for bonnet landing panel
there is a oiltemp warning switch in pipe that you need to retain , never had one trigger with panel type rad fitted .

Agreed - and make sure it works too !! Though, you'd be better with a gauge, as the switch doesn't trip until 135 Centigrade - at which point, the clutch packs will have been damaged, and fluid will be toast - and require immediate change. ( have a nosy at www.bobistheoilguy.com )
