Radiator behind rear bumper.

What is it for?
Looks like transmission cooler but I have a manual car.
Probably obvious if I went under the car but just being lazy.

Assuming you are talking about the diesel, the inter cooler would be a good start.

That will teach me to read stuff on my phone when 1/2 asleep. REAR, makes a big difference. .......

Its a cooler for the unused diesel returning to the fuel tank.

It is indeed a return fuel cooler, designed to prevent separation of the hot fuel going back to the plastic fuel tank and condensating on the inside....

Please don't take this the wrong way, I include myself in this critic, it's amazing how quite a few of us know very little about our cars, it's only through this brilliant forum and knowledge of certain members who educate us lesser mortals

They do have a tendency to spilt and start pi55ing diesel over your driveway. Over the years of R75 ownership, I've learned about things like this, and started a little collection - like if you see one of those either here or tossBay in excellent nick and cheap, I'd buy it and keep it for the day when it WILL fail... saves you being in a hurry and so having to pay stupid money for a new one (think about £300 last time I looked

)
