Straight forward then but you may need to remove the viscose fan to get clearance and the bolts in the bottom of the rad sometimes seize
Grit Valve
2000 4.6 Vouge
The auto and Manual use the same pattern part radiator , so don't worry if you have an auto and there are two holes in the bottom got the manual gearbox cooler its a separate chamber for the oil cooler not needed on autos.
The Baffle is an upright plate that sits in the chamber at the top of the Radiator.
As the radiator has the 'top' and 'bottom' hoses at the top of the radiator....the baffle is there to stop the water going in one hose and then exiting across the top of the rad and out the other hose....it diverts the water flow downwards through the rad core and then back up again through the other hose.
Test it with a marble....if it rolls all the way across the top of the rad, its fecked....
