Welcome to OOF
If yours is a saloon it's quite likely to be in the wrapped loom that connects the body to the boot lid. Nearside at the bend where it flexes. As opposed to the gearbox.
We need to keep theses cars on the road for as long as possible before their all gone..
If you mean this one...

The £44 one listed above it will work just as well
Yes if you buy a radiator that fits both manual and auto there will be blanking plugs where the gearbox cooler pipes attach,just leave these in place.When my V6 radiator cracked[same place as yours has]I bought one off e-bay a Nissens iirc.
Anyone know if all face lift models, automatic and manual all use the same radiator or are they different?The radiators currently seem to all have the built in cooler regardless of what's fitted to the car, so it doesn't really matter
Basically strip your car down and refit everything in place on the new radiator, including the fittings to attach the condenser and external gearbox cooler as per the original
There are different two letter codes on them that will give you the partnumber:

I have filled/topped up my coolant reservoir a few times. I don't know why it always wants to settle down to half full and no warning lights, etc. My gut feeling is that there is perhaps a leak in the plastic but there are no apparent tell tale marks of that.
There are no discernible leaks noted under the car or the driveway.
Any suggestions or thoughts appreciated.
From memory, the front fan on a desmond does have the two speeds but there's a series resistor that drops some volts for the low speed, being that there aren't 2 motors to put in series.
Will see if I have wiring diagrams on this laptop to confirm...
Can't say as I noticed tbh
Main reason for the parts collection was to fit extra cooling capacity as part of a 2.2 turbo experiment, but chassis rot put paid to the idea...
I acquired the loom, relays and fan from a V6 to do it all long since disposed ofBoth had one. Wiring in the second one was on my list...
I'm thinking the same.
Wonder if anyone on here ever put a second one in. Looks plug and play.
I wonder why Vauxhall didn't put 2 in the front on the Desmonds like the rest.
Both front fans are the same but it's a radiator/oil cooler/condenser out job to fit
Both had one. Wiring in the second one was on my list...
