    Pipeage?

    Here's a curly one. '91 v8 disco, Fitting a radiator, and it has two small outlets on the driver's side. OK, one will go to the overflow box, but where does the other terminate? The fuel injection comes from the rear under the inlet manifold and a point from the front of it. But nowhere for this other hose. Any thoughts?
    Cheers.

    On my 98 V8, that other pipe goes to the plenum chamber somewhere. Can't remember where exactly.

    The second hose comes from behind the thermostat via the throttle body heater. Not all EFI LR V8's have this hose. If your engine hasn't got this hose you either cap the fitting or tap a hose nipple in the manifold behind the thermostat housing and run some 5/16 hose to the top of the rad. I've done this mod a few times, it helps bleed the air out of the engine automatically after a refill.

    If you have a blocked off throttle body heater just run a hose from the manifold nipple straight to the rad fitting, the heater is not important in above-zero climates.
