On the auto Mike, the
water return from the transmission cooler joins the rad at the small spigot low down. You know the one!!!! The one that's hard to get at
The pipe that runs from the cooler outlet and down in front of the valve block cover...
The manual gearbox has no such cooler. What I am surprised about is that for the manual cvar they don't just blank off the surplus spigot and thus making the rads the same for both.
If I read you correctly Stempy, the manual rad has nothing where you'd fine the auto cooler spigot so you couldn't even un-blank it to make it do...
