Default OEM Equipment Question

Who is the O.E. manufacturer of the radiator in my 02 Disco? Anyone?

That was anyone's guess, no matter though there are no factory radiator made any longer and the few you might find are way over priced.
Go to British Parts of Utah and buy one of theirs for under $300.

Thanks Mike, I've already ordered a new radiator. It will be here tomorrow. The reason I ask, is because I was curious if the rad that's in my Disco now is the original. It is made by Calsonic, and I suspect that it is not O.E.

It probably is OE. Calsonic became a major supplier for Ford across all brands in 2001.

Question, didn't BMW still own Land Rovers in 2002? I thought that Ford didn't start until 2003?

Ford bought it in 2000. They still used BMW parts until they could replace it with something better. (better for Ford....) That's why the first couple of years of the MKIII Range Rover had BMW engines, until Ford could fit the Jag engine in it's place.... no sense in wasting all of those years of design, but they didn't want to be stuck buying engines from BMW either.
