Is there more than one type of radiator fitted to the omega range. Is the rad fitted to the auto's different to the manual transmission model?

Rob isn't necessarily correct  ;). Most autos's have an ATF oil cooler built into the driver's side of the rad, but I believe some later cars have a separate air/ATF cooler in front of the a/c condenser ie right at the front of the car.  :y

Thanks for tha advice. I have been supplied with the wrong rad now 4 times! By an independent supplier. Need a rad for a 2001  2.2 auto. Dont really want to pay main dealer prices. However at this rate i think i will have to bite the bullet.

Ime the later ones with seperate cooler still have the same type of rad, the inbuilt cooler just isnt used. ;)
