hi, just swapping the v8 engine over in my disco 1
first problem is the new (2nd hand engine only has 2 temp sensors and mine has 3, to save me swapping all the housing over does anyone know if its ok to leave the 3rd sensor?
im hoping someone has come across this before?
thanks a lot.

I think the third one (i take it you mean the one with two spades) is for the air con to kick the fans in!
If I'm wrong I'm sure someone will be along to tell ya!

As u do have a/c you will get the high under bonnet temps that a/c equipped vehicles can have some times.
This copied from Rave should explain.

It should be noted that under high coolant
temperatures, when the engine is switched off, the
condenser fans will be activated and will run for​

approximately ten minutes.
