The fail safe cooling method that you describe of cylinders shutting down was present on all models regardless of series, it was not implemented to cut out the sensor.

Rog yours being a Fairlane I thought it would have had one, its not hard to put one in, you just need the sensor and a new header tank.

I do have to add to this ... all EGAS models didn't have the failsafe cooling system implemented due to backfiring when shutting spark to Cyl 6 (and kicking back in again.)

My AUII XLS ute doesn't have a low coolant sensor in the header tank ... although it is an I6 though.

I can understand yours having it Austin ... because it's an 8.
