No connections at the bottom on the diesel. Look for a Nissens radiator if you want reliable.Found a RAD for £118. Is there any connections at the bottom on a diesel?

Mine has those bottom connectors but they're blanked off.

There are connections at the bottom of my rad, they just aren't used.

Manual box has built in transmission cooler. Suppose that could made difference to what I payed. Nissens I had, was few quid but quality, that got destroyed so put a BP in second time around, cheap and cheerful but lasted years with no issues, don’t remember what I payed but nowhere near 200

Mine blew rads every two years and had done since 2004 when it was reprogrammed to 170bhp. Went through two rads in 4yrs, one an nrf and one a Nissens.
The latter one of which nearly went off in my face...
I bought a direnza unit only to find out it was just like any bought off ebay but they had there own named plates fitted at the factory..
But... It's still on the car and doing it's job. It was a worthwhile investment for me

Do the alloy ones fit well with the securing clips they look smooth on the metal ones unlike the grooved plastic tabs at the top.

The manual transmission uses the connections at the bottom of the rad as they are a water to oil cooler that is in the rad, they just sell one that fits both type of gearbox.

^^^ he’s got it tricked out staged up though. Rads are swapped about (not OE position) to accommodate the bigger intercooler.

Ya dancer!
Mind you this wasn't purely luck. I had to turn the pump as far as it would go!

Datatek will hate me as well. I didn't remove the viscous fan... 
Rev counter Still sitting at 850rpm though. I'm guessing I'll need to move the actuator block a smidge towards the dash? Is that correct?

You can do this with the Nanocom.Datatek will hate me as well. I didn't remove the viscous fan...

You need to note down the current setting and like I did reduce the specified number until your happy with the tick over. Mine doesn't like the specified tick over recommended and vibrates like a goodun
I'm idling at around 810rpm. Suits me

Can you breakdown the steps on the nanocom to do this, cheers? I'm not clued up on the nanocom.

It's within spec I think 750/850rpm? You can lower it with Nanocom. I run mine at 800rpm to avoid the low rev vibration.Datatek will hate me as well. I didn't remove the viscous fan...

There is a string of parameters that show on Faultmate, I think the same on Nanocom, the first box is likely to be showing 128, reducing this number in small steps will reduce the idle speed.
