Whilst getting to know my car I came across some vents in the right front wheel arch liner. Looking through them I see what looks like a radiator. Mine is heavily clogged with dirt so plan to have my local dealer clean it out when they'll have my car in June for some other work.

I think it's an oil cooler for either the transmission or engine oil if I remember rightly. You definitely want to clean it, a gentle soaking with some degreaser followed by a hose down shoud be enough. |

You can pop the grille out that sits in front of it in the lower valance in seconds, then you've got access to get your hand up the front of it to clear it out.

Just had a quick look at the workshop manual and it looks like it is the additional engine cooler. So it has coolant going through, not oil like the SC.

Yes, I think that's what it is, an additional engine cooler radiator. Item 2 in this pic..
