   You just leave the sensor in the rad...as said its pretty simple to fit, the worst bit of the job will probably be bleeding the coolant afterwards.
   There is a guide on here somewhere which is quite easy to follow if you get stuck.

   might be a mk2 vtr rad then lol
   
   the plastic bit is the bit that takes the extra space up on mk1s...where the new rad will go
