Cheers, David.

Cost me $95.
Easy to remove a rad on a disco,
1. Unclip the fan shroud fan cover ,
2. unclip the fan shroud retaining clips, lift and slide forward.
3. Removes the hoses, the bottom one takes some work as the weld themself on if been on too long.
4. Unscrew the transmission or engine oil cooler pipes.
5. Unbolt and remove the 2 top radiator support brackets.
6. grab Radiator with 2 hands and lift in up direction. It only sits in 2 grommets on chassis

All up 1/2 hr job
fitting reverse proceedure.
WARNING! This is the bush way, the enviro friendly method would involve not allowing the coolant to drop into a container and get into the enviroment. I still haven't worked out how that works as after you remove the coolant enviromentally, and pour it into a container, where do you then get ris of the coolant.?
